The Wilson Family Cemetery is located on the private property of the McBrides on Wilson Hollow Road. There is only one headstone at this location. Mrs. McBride had someone tell her that there use to be several fieldstone markers of the Wilson Family, which are no longer there.
From Danny Nichols: "I also recall that there was a small structure covering what was likely the W.A. Wilson monument. Horace Wilson, I believe was the son of W.A. Wilson and Horace lived there in this log home also. A young man, Jason Davenport, was shot and killed there at this house many years ago. The Wilson family thought him to be stealing hams. He was buried in the field beside the home of Gene and Joyce Mason but there is no tombstone for him. Most likely his family could not afford one. At the time of his death he lived just across the road from Gene and Joyce's home in a small house that has been gone for years."
