Located 1 mile
south of St. Matthews, 2 squares west of Breckinridge Lane. |

This cemetery is
owned by Jefferson County and sits on north bank above Beargrass
Creek. There are approximately 25 graves.
"There exists some doubt that John Floyd was buried
here. Some scholars say he lies near his third and last
fort, very near Floydsburg, Kentucky. Mrs. Fannie Hunter,
Todd's Point, Kentucky says he is at the Tommy Long place in
Shelby County. After 30 years research, I feel he is
at his last fort, one mile east of Floydsburg." - Robert
