Please email your
coordinators if you have any additional information regarding this
cemetery. The material contained on this page was derived from the
book "Wilderness Road Cemeteries in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia" by Robert Foster Johnson for the West-Central Kentucky
Family Research Association, which holds the copyright to this
information. The book was published by McDowell Publications in
1981 and I was told by the Association's President that it still has a
very limited supply remaining. Please contact them if you wish
to purchase a copy of this book. The data listed belonging to
the Brinley's and the Gentry's was supplied by Mary Anne Reiss, a
Brinley family researcher. Some of her notes were used to
replace those dates not legible from the stones themselves.

This cemetery is
located north of Hwy 155 (Taylorsville Road, 2 miles west of
Fisherville)
a/k/a Fork Hill Cemetery or Floyd’s
Fork Baptist Churchyard. Next to 3910 Old Routt Road From
Taylorsville Road, turn onto Routt Road (Hwy. 1531). Turn right
on Old Routt Road. You will be going down a long country road.
Just past Cedar Ridge Camp on the left is the graveyard.
As of December 2017, this cemetery
is in good condition.

It is not certain when
this survey was taken, but going on the fact the book's copyright
was 1981, it must be assumed it was a time before that date.
The book states that the owner of the property where this cemetery
lies at this time belongs to a Carl Gatewood. The cemetery
is located at Route 2, two miles southwest of Fisherville, on spot
on roadside 20 feet from curb. The graveyard has
approximately 150 graves. The author states "this site
seems to be where an ancient church stood. The church must
have been of logs as no cornerstones are seen." This is not a complete listing of
graves, but the author has stated that he generally names the
oldest stones of a cemetery in his work. |

This cemetery has also
been called the Floyd's Fork Baptist Churchyard
