Comments:
  • Record showed cemetery as "Fairview." May be buried in an unmarked grave in "Shaw Cemetery" (SAR Cemetery # 45316). Exact location of burial unknown. Patriot memorialized on monolith at Kentucky Veterans Cemetery West placed by the John Manire Chapter, KYSSAR, in 2012
  • Photos by permission: George Geoffrey Baggett, Kentucky Society SAR. Patriot is buried in an unknown/lost grave in Christian County, KY
  • This monument contains the names of all Rev War Patriots who died in Christian County. It serves as the de-facto memorial stone for all of the Patriots buried whereabouts unknown. Due to the absence of an actual grave for many of the men named, the monolith serves as a "mass marker"


Directions to Cemetery / Gravesite:



Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
