Directions from the intersection of Hwys 55 and 41 in Manchester: Take Hwy 41 South East 12.7 miles and turn left into Stephenson Road (the lower end); go 4.2 miles and bear right into Lusk Cove Road; go about 1.1 miles and the cemetery is on the left about .2 mile back in a grove near barn. As of 2008.

Most of the names and location is from GenWeb.

Notes:

(1) In Feb 2012 it was reported that the cemetery is on private property or is otherwise inaccessible. They also reported, specifically: "I couldn't even see the cemetery or a barn."

For that reason, the request for pictures have been removed. I am guessing the graves are over grown and not cared for by now.

(2) In May 2012, pictures of some of the graves were provided by Bettye Hull from a visit she made to the location. At that time, it was of a bean field and the only reason those few headstones are intact is because they are in a small clump of trees.

(3) The name of the Cemetery was selected on based on the fact that this was the name used by the GenWeb source. William is NOT the first person in it. It is also known as the "Gilliam Farm Cemetery." This name might be a better name for it as it was set-aside by John Gilliam.

(4) May 2014: This cemetery is NOT the same as what is called the Beans Creek Cemetery although there are two persons with same name in both.

(5) In the Will of John Gilliam we find that he was the one who set-aside the land for this little cemetery in his Codicil dated 17 Aug 1825..." that twenty five yards square be laid off and reserved for a burying yard on the tract of Land heretofore disposed of by me in my former will to be laid off near a walnut tree including Thomas Gilliam's grave"... This will codicil was found by Candis Lee Cattley-Sanders.
