This cemetery, which has historically been for white persons, is adjacent to, but beyond on Sandy Brown Lane, the Manor's Hill Cemetery which has historically been a cemetery for African-Americans. For some time in the past the two were confused as one cemetery and called J. J. Manor Hill Cemetery.

The cemetery is named for Joseph J. Manor (1818-1884), who came to Texas from Tennessee when he was twenty years of age and finally settled in the Webberville community, acquiring land and opening a cotton gin and general store. He and his wife are both buried in the cemetery, as are veterans of many wars. A cemetery association was formed in 1982 and the Texas Historical Commission placed a marker and descriptive plaque at the site in 2001.
