Pendleton County Churches and Cemeteries

Taylor Family Cemetery


Located on Rock Quarry Property near Butler, Kentucky. Close to the confluence of Flour Creek and the Licking River This information gathered by Gaylon Lovelace on May 7, 1992.

Note:
There are several stones standing that the inscriptions are well past reading. I counted 14 but am sure there are many others as it is badly overgrown. This is the Taylor family cemetery mentioned in the Barton Papers and was located near the original Robert Taylor log cabin into which he moved in 1797 from Mason County. Some of the several thousand acres that Robert Taylor purchased is still owned by his descendants.
