11 Oct 1997. Travis Morris made a survey of the Wilkinson Family Cemetery. Irene Rayburn escorted him as guide. The cemetery is located on a piece of property purchased by the Rayburn family in 1938. The land is in the area of the old community of Hough, which no longer exists. It is located at the end of a private road at a hard loft turn of CR 106 just east of CR 401 north of Grandview.

The cemetery is a small yard fenced with iron fencing. The area is well shaded by trees. Ms Rayburn says there are other graves north of the fenced cemetery in an area in which were two large oak trees. Lightning killed the trees and all that is left are two large stumps.

After the Civil War the Wilkinson family freed their slaves and came to Texas. Four of the former slave families came with them. Their graves are in this area north of the fenced cemetery.

Plane stones mark most of the graves. Some of the graves in the fenced area have carved headstones. These are listed below.
