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.
