"Allen Williamson was born in 1803 in Sampson County, near Clinton, N.C. He died in 1878 at the age of 75. He lived in this area all of his life. He was a hard-working boy who was left with the responsibility of supporting his mother and family at his father's death. He worked hard, at times for ten cents a day, and usually had only bread and water for his meals. They lived a simple life, and by working hard and saving, Allen bought and paid for a large plantation. When a young man, Allen married Eliza Page, daughter of Stephen Page. She was born about 1813. Allen and Eliza lived in a log cabin that Allen built by himself. Eliza cooked over an open fireplace which occupied one side of the cabin. Allen later built several smaller cabins a short distance from his cabin for his slaves to live in."
There is a stone marker on their graves with their names and dates on them. In addition, there has been placed a large stone in memory of Allen and Eliza Page Williamson, with the names of all the children on the stone. There were eleven children born to Allen and Eliza Williamson.
The cemetery is in the woods off of Airport Road.
