Jeremiah H. Wilson, his wife, Elizabeth (Wilhite), and their three sons moved from Missouri to Texas in 1845, first settling in Collin County. Elizabeth's untimely death in 1853 left Jeremiah with seven children. Later marrying Melinda Flowers, he moved his family to Denton County by 1867. Eldest son McKenzie J. Wilson and his wife, Lydia (Tutt), lived on an adjoining parcel. In 1892, McKenzie and Lydia designated two acres of their land as a cemetery, with L.N. Clark, W.L. Lanford and B.F Hayden as trustees. The first burial was Mildred M. Wilson, Jeremiah and Melinda's infant daughter. The deed dedicated a portion of the cemetery as public free burial grounds for military veterans. Wilson Cemetery is the final resting place for seven generations of the Wilson family along with other relatives and neighbors.
