Bull Cemetery/ Carleton Cemetery 

This cemetery is located in Monroe County Ga. on Monticello 
Road , State highway 83 on the left side of the road coming
from Forsyth to Monticello Ga.  Just before you get to the
bridge at the Towaliga river (south side of River and left side of road). If you go over the bridge you passed it.


There are three marked Burials there and maybe three others

There is a very large monument (Carlton) about eight feet high that
can be easily seen from the road about 100 feet into the
woods. The cemetery over looks the river.

Mildred Gibson Willis Bull Phelps was an ancestor of most of
the many people of Monroe County who are  Willis
descendants. She was a daughter of John Gibson who died in
1827 in Wilkes County Georgia and his wife Mildred (Millie)
Holladay Gibson.

Her first husband was George Willis who died 1816 in Wilkes
County Georgia. He was a son of James Willis of Virginia who
died 1813 in Wilkes County and his first wife Ann/Nancy. 

They had sons: 

Owen J willis, 
George A Willis,
John G Willis

Mildred Gibson Willis married 2nd William H Bull (he is
buried in the Carlton-Bull Cemetery Mildred married
William H Bull 1818 in Wilkes County and they had several
children who lived to adulthood.  

Mildred Gibson Willis Bull married 3rd Acquilla Phelps  


Matilda Gibson (Mildred's sister) married 1st David Allison
who was guardian of Mildred's three Willis sons. Matilda,
who was Mildred's sister, married 3 more times. Matilda was
married last to James Lamar


Children in the cemetery are said to be a child of Mildred
and William Bull and a Bryant child. I don't know who the
Bryant child  could be.  One of Mildred's sons, John Gibson
Willis b 10 Jun 1810 Wilkes County, GA had a daughter by his
second wife who married a Bryant. Could this Bryant child be
Mildred's Great Grandchild? [I have Mary Lena Willis m.
Hiram J. Bryant in Butts Co., GA but no date. Mary Lena was
b. 1874]
