I know the exact location of the old
Taylor cemetery. It is located appx 20 miles South of Lexington,
Ky in
Jessamine Co two and one-half miles South of
Wilmore,
Ky on highway 29. The farm once belonged to my grandfather
Wess Houp who had a corn field next to the grave yard. There are no marked headstones, only rocks marking the approximately ten graves. It is still known as the
Taylor tract of land and there are relatives living around
Wilmore and
Keene, namely the
Yates,
Prentice,
Baker, and
Meade families. The cemetery is adjacent to William ( Billy ) Carson's farm near the old railroad right of way between his property line and the clifts of the
Kentucky River. The Jesssamine Co Historical Society recently visited the site and Ernestine
Hamm took pictures of the area.
