McWilliams Cemetery is located just inside the Sequatchie County line from Bledsoe County. It is in the shadow of Walden’s Ridge, overlooking the Sequatchie Valley. To get to this cemetery, from Dunlap, take Highway 111 to East Valley Rd. exit, go 9/10 of a mile North on East Valley Rd. and then turn left onto Kelley Cross Rd., McWilliams Cemetery will be 7/10 of a mile on the right.


We have done our best to record the names and dates of the individuals that are buried in this cemetery as they appeared on their markers but mistakes can be made. I have also left out the names and dates of the individuals that appear to be still living, out of respect for these families. If there needs to be a correction or an addition of someone, please e-mail us at: BerryglenPlace@aol.com and we will be happy to make the additions/corrections.

Anna G. (Hancock) and John McWilliams were my maternal G-G-G Grandparents. Their son, Dan McWilliams (G-G grandfather) married Mary Ann Graham (G-G Grandmother). Dan and Mary's daughter, Sarah Elizabeth McWilliams was my great grandmother who married my great grandfather, William Harrison Davis. William Harrison Davis was buried in Hixson Cemetery where his parents, Thomas and Rachel (Hughes) Davis (G-G paternal grandparents) were buried. I don't know where Sarah Elizabeth and her parents were buried so I keep searching.

Borden "Birden" McWilliams was Dan McWilliams' twin brother. They were born on Nov. 13, 1829. Dan died in 1900 and Birden died in 1898. Birden was a nickname for Borden.

One year after Thomas Davis returned home from the Civil War, he was planting corn in the field. The mule was scared and ran and the strap was stuck around his leg. He was dragged to his death. His wife, Rachel married Birdie McWilliams on June 3, 1873.
