Church Family Cemetery -
Longhunters Trail (Old Church Rd.)



George W. Church - d. May 23, 1832
His mother, Eleanor Church 1757-1837, would be the oldest known ancestor that is buried in the family cemetery.
Family oral history states that she & George's wife, Mildred Berry Church are buried beside him.
 The Church family of Barren Co., KY.owned extensive amounts of land in that Co., which encompassed all of what is now Lexington Drive down to Happy Valley Rd. and over to Highway 90. The old log house built by George Washington Church, son of John Christian, was located across the road from the family cemetery and it later burned. John Church, son of George Washington Church, built his house where Shelley Riherd's house is now, corner of Longhunters Trail & Lexington Dr. Later his son William Morgan Church built his home there.The old smokehouse still stands in his backyard. 
     William Morgan Church (Uncle Bill), son of John Church, bought the old hitching post, where horses were tied, that went around the Barren Co. Courthouse in about 1926 to put around the family cemetery. In 1940 Sarah Mildred Church (Aunt Pede), William Morgan's sister, paid $5,000 to have the concrete wall erected around the hitching post. The cemetery is located on  Old Church Rd., now Longhunters Trail (road name changed in 1963) off of Lexington Dr. in Glasgow,KY. There are many ancestors of the Church family in the cemetery whose graves are marked with field stones, names unknown, ..... "Gone But Not Forgotten".
