Zachary Taylor National Cemetery

The National Cemetery is owned by the U.S.A. and located in northeast Jefferson County on north side of Hwy 42.  The original section has approx. 45 graves.   The remaining thousands are burials of American veterans.  The material contained on this page was derived from the book "Wilderness Road Cemeteries in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia" by Robert Foster Johnson for the West-Central Kentucky Family Research Association, which holds the copyright to this information.  The book was published by McDowell Publications in 1981 and I was told by the Association's President that it still has a very limited supply remaining.  Please contact them if you wish to purchase a copy of this book.  If you have additional information about this cemetery or it's inhabitants, please email your coordinator.   This listing comprises most of those early burials, and the link below includes those for the veteran burials.
