The cemetery is located near Wards, about two miles west of Hwy. 210 on the Larue-Green County line. On Hibernia map, Section 12-L-47 Carter coordinates. The cemetery is well kept and dates back to about 1880.

John DeSpain and Lewis DeSpain's small boys use to play under the big tree in the field across from William Henry DeSpain home. When the boys died (very young) William Henry DeSpain donated the land to bury the boys under the tree where they played. That was the start of the DeSpain Cemetery.
