This cemetery is located in north Decatur County, Tennessee, just southeast of the I40 and Hwy 641 junction. From Hwy 641, turn east on McIllwain Road, then south on Duck Road, then turn right onto a farm road. The cemetery is located several yards down that farm road on the right hand side, somewhat hidden by trees and the undergrowth. The cemetery is in two parts. The southern section serves as a family cemetery for the Cox and Wilson families, and had become somewhat overgrown by 2019. Just to the north is a very old cemetery that was nearly lost in the woods. The Cox/Wilson addition was probably created because the older cemetery was full within its borders. Within this older section, roughly 10 legible (in some cases just barely legible) headstones, several fieldstones, and other sunken spots were observed. A review of this section several years ago estimated the total grave count at about 150.
