The cemetery is located a half mile northwest of FM 969 (Webberville Rd.) in Webberville on Blake Manor Road. Turn left to the west at a curve in Blake Manor Road then go one quarter mile t down an unimproved road through private property. The cemetery has been reported to be much overgrown. Although the earliest readable marker is for a Thomas Bacon (1785-1851), the Banks family is among the earliest readable burials and is the most represented among readable markers. The Wood family follows in numbers. Among them is a James Wood who lived to be 89 years of age and who was a Master Mason and a well known and successful member of the community, likely leading to the secondary appellations of J. Wood's Cemetery or simply Wood's Cemetery.

There has been much confusion between this cemetery near the northern edge of Webberville and the cemetery adjacent to the Webberville Ebenezer Baptist Church 1.5 miles to the SSW in the middle of Webberville because both were called Woods Cemetery on USGS maps and both are in the immediate Webberville area. The other cemetery is the one that is known as Duty Cemetery.
