From the Book " Cemeteries of Texas by Joy Gough"
The cemetery is not fenced and is on a hill. It is visible from FM 455. There is a sign on FM 455 for the cemetery. A deed is listed in Vol 53, p 357, and is for 4 acres. It is deeded to the Missionary Baptist Church of Weston. The cemetery is well cared for and appears to be active.
The Mugg family was instrumental in establishing the town of Weston. Richard M. Mugg is one of three families who donated land for the town. In 1858 he set aside 4 acres of land for a cemetery. He died a short time later and was the 4th burial in the cemetery. He helped found the Weston Baptist Church. The Friendship Baptist Church, which was in the Highland community, was organized in his home in 1850. It later became First Baptist Church of Anna. He also donated 1 ½ acres of land to the Christian Church in Weston. The Bosbie School was started by his son, Perry Melton Mugg, for the education of the Black children in the area.

In one corner of the cemetery are numerous footstones that have been removed from graves, probably for mowing purposes. One stone has a 6-foot tall statue of a girl next to it. There is a creek on the west side of CR 1096.
