"Junkins Family Cemetery" is listed in "Historical Atlas of Alabama, Vol. 2: Cemetery Locations by County", 3rd Edition, 1999, University of Alabama Department of Geography (Edited by W. Craig Remington). This family cemetery was said to contain three burials, all interred in 1871, and had a land plat location of Township 17N, Range 18E, Section 19 in Montgomery County. The Montgomery County Revenue Department Parcel Viewer website reflected an "Unknown Cemetery" of approximately 4,350 sq. ft. within that particular 600-acre section, and subsequent physical survey disclosed the graves of three Judkins family members all buried in 1871.

The Judkins Family Cemetery is located within a tree farm just east of the junction of Hope Drive with Old Wetumpka Road, approximately 1,300 feet southwest of the Tallapoosa River. Across the river is The Area Sand & Gravel Company, historic site of an early 19th Century ferry operated by the Judkins family patriarch, George Judkins (1775-1827). A cast iron bow and picket style fence, gate shield emblem of "Hanika Fence"/ "Springfield O", at one time enclosed three inscribed marble grave slabs: John C. Judkins 1809-1871 ("Our Father"), Eliza J. Judkins 1817-1871 ("Our Mother"), and James H. Judkins 1811-1871 ("Our Uncle Jim"). A nearby wood-fenced square, approximately 10 ft. on each side and enshrouded within a brush & briar arbor, was said by the landowner to have been built in the 1970's to keep grazing cattle away from an old oak tree.
