Small family Cemetery located on the grounds of "Somerset" the home of the Wilson Family for three generations. Dr.Goodridge Alexander Wilson (1815-1866)(he is buried in Texas)was the first Wilson owner, the last Wilson to live here was his grandson C. Julian Wilson. It was sold out of the Wilson family after the death of one of his great-grandsons. This cemetery contains graves of Dr. Wilson's children and grandchildren. The cemetery was surveyed and photograhed in Oct. 2011 by Suzanne Fathauer and her son Bill Fathauer, they reported: "There were some flat stones so covered we couldn't read them. The cemetery has 3 large cedar trees and a large tulip poplar. There are a couple of small dogwoods and redbuds. The graves are becoming over run with vines and there are many 3-5 foot sweetgum trees popping up, it could use a good cleaning up now before it becomes very overgrown and the sweetgum trees get too big to cut easily." The home (destroyed in 2009) was originaly the home of The Rev. Mr. Henry Patillo an early Presbyterian minister. There is a second grave yard on the property with one or two graves containing descendants of Rev. Patillo. Located on the west side of U. S. 15 about 2 miles north of Stovall. Drive used to be located opposite Stovall Rd.
