It looks like you got these directions from the Guernsey County web site, but unfortunately I don't know who supplied them. The USGS GNIS server doesn't mention Williams Cemetery, so it must be a very small one. Since it is a family cemetery, apparently, it would probably be on land once owned by the Williams, if you can locate that. Anyway, some suggestions if you feel like some more aimless driving :-). On my map I found TR 7451, but it was located several miles to the south of SR 265, on the border between Guernsey and Noble Co. (in Richland Twp.) It is also called Russell Rd., and it intersected only SR 313. If you go straight north from that line, you come close to TR 7470 (Larue Rd.) (which does cross SR 265 and is in Wills Twp.). This suggests some geographical regularity in naming of the roads. Assuming the instructions are correct (appearing more and more doubtful),it may be an unnamed road near TR 7470. My map shows several Township Roads 74xx along SR 265 between Lore City and Salesville, though not TR 7451. Traveling east along SR 265, starting at SR 285 which goes into Lore City: * Travel 2.4 miles to CR 74 (Salem Rd.). * After another 0.4 miles, TR 7430 is on the right. * After 0.3 miles, there is an unnamed road on the left. * After 0.2 miles, there is a second unnamed road on the left. * After 0.1 miles, Gildea Rd. is on the right. * After another 0.1 miles, there is a third unnamed road on the left. * After another 0.4 miles, you'll cross TR 7470 (Larue Rd.). My guess is that it is the second of the unnamed roads, which is about half way between TR 7430 and TR 7470. Half a mile east of there is pretty close to TR 7470, though, so it seems odd that it is not referenced from that point. Sorry I can't tell you anything definitive.
