The "Hill-Johnson Cemetery" is located on private property off Holladay Road in Decatur County, Tennessee.

Margaret Alexander recorded the cemetery as "unnamed" on March 20, 1977 in the Decatur County, Tennessee Cemetery Records, published by the Nathaniel A. Wesson Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Parsons, Tennessee, p. 595. David Donahue recorded this cemetery as the Hill-Johnson Cemetery on July 11, 2004. There are markers for surnames of Hill, Inman, Johnson, with the majority of markers for the surnames of Quinn & Smith.

There are seven fieldstone-marked graves - three in the Hill-Quinn area, two in the row with the Jas. Johnson marker, and two with the Smith markers.

William Chumney listed this cemetery as being on the old John Prior Hill property. According to "Bill" Chumney, John Prior Hill was born around 1801 in North Carolina and died after Feb. 2, 1867. He was probably the first Baptist preacher in this area, settling with two of his brothers, Campbell Hill and Dutton Hill. His wife was Rebecca Aldridge Hill who married James Johnson. Fannie and James acquired the farm and lived there until he died during the Civil War. He is buried in the cemetery.

Emiline Hill and husband W. H. Smith
Martha Melinda Hill and husband Robert M. Quinn, Jr.
Mary Elizabeth Hill and husband John Quinn
