Source for information, names and dates below comes from Hart County KY Cemetery Records Vol. 4 of Judge Roy A. Cann’s Records compiled by Sandra Gorin in September 1993, page 17 & 18 with permission:

This cemetery was laid out by two men, ADAIR and MONROE, as the County seat for a new county to be formed – this plot is on record in the Barren County KY Clerk’s Office. There was one acre of land reserved as a public burial ground in the deed to this farm which was owned at that time by John Tucker. Below are names/dates that appear in the Vol. 4, that I did not find a tombstone for. It could be I unintentionally missed the stone, the stone was weathered and I was unable to read the inscription, or they may have never had a stone.
