Bruce,
The cemetery books for Randolph County are $28 a piece and can be purchased on-line through the Randolph County Genealogical Society web site or you can call the Randolph Room at the library. In looking at Volume VIII, the Williams Family Cemetery is on the property of Shirly and Harold Caviness at 6833 Highway 22-42, Ramseur on the north side of Brush Creek. The book states there are 26 graves with very few legible. Paraphrasing, deeds and wills indicate that the cemetery was the Benjamin and Hannah Mcmannus Williams Cemetery. Legible graves in the book: WN 1783 - the book says the N is turned sideways like a Z and this could be William Needham, probably a brother of John and Thomas Needham, some of Randolph County earlier settlers. William Needham and Benjamin Williams were involved in a land deal on this property according to the book.
Jere W., D 18 July 1800 (Jeremiah Williams had an inventory done 28 August 1800.
SY, 1799
JCSW July 18 1828 (probably Cooper Stedman Williams, son of James below.
BW (must be Benjamin Williams who died in 1825)

I hope this helps and coincidentally, I have an aunt whose maiden name was Berenice McManus - she married into my mother's family - Trogdon! Small world!
