COOK CEMETERY - Located on Stateline Rd., Boydsville, KY.

This cemetery was established in 1830, as there was no cemeteries started when John Cook died. He was buried on his land. He & Margaret came to KY while the Indians were still in the area. Their slaves are buried outside the fence on the west side of the cemetery, along the fence row and are unmarked.

 

BOSTON CEMETERY - This cemetery is located in a field just off the Stateline Rd., at Boydsville, KY, south of Lynnville, KY.

John Wesley Cook was the first owner of this land and when he & his wife, Chloe Jane died, they were buried in the field near the house. In later years Reuben Boston owned the land and is now owned by Mrs. Lucille Cook Williams. Copied by Nina Barber, 1981


This desendant information is from Lynn Maxwell, Paris, TN (1989) and Nina Barber (1993). Does anyone have current addresses for these folks? I added the census and cemetery information. Pat
