Coordinates: 35d 21m 30.0s N; 78d 50m 35.1s W Click here for Online Maps

Directions: from downtown Lillington go approximately 4 miles on Highway 210 South. After crossing Little River Bridge the cemetery is on the left in a field just before McNeill-Hobbs Road (SR-2072).. It is presently on land owned by Ellis O'Briant, son of Phillip O'Briant.

The cemetery is called McLean by some but previous generations called it Murchison Cemetery because it was located on land under the control of the Murchison family. There are a number of McLean tombstones but there are other families buried there as well as a number of graves marked only by a stone. There were, heretofore, wooden markers but they are long gone.

Previously, there was a low single chain border that surrounded the cemetery which was erected by Margaret McLean White who was the daughter of William (Billy) McLean (who is buried there in an unmarked grave) and granddaughter of John A. McLean; it is no longer standing.

The big stone marker was erected by McLean cousins who left to live in Bladen County and by Arthur Allen McDonald, son of Catherine Isabel McLean McDonald who is buried at Summerville Presbyterian Church Cemetery. The wording on the monument stone is now known to be referring to the two Lauchlin McLeans (father and son).
