This cemetery is one of the oldest in Grayson county, It lies just north of highway 697 about 2 miles north of old Kentuckytown.  Originally called the Pitman's Chapel Cemetery after the Methodist  Church and the Batsell School that stood nearby. 
This property lies at the junction of Spring Branch and Camp Branch of Mill Creek. The Creek junction is where a church camp was held often and baptisms performed.
It was named for Michael Pitman who gave the land for the church and cemetery. Later the church was called Batsell Methodist Church . Today it is being approached by a tract of new houses and needs protection.  This is an annotated list. additional names and material has been added. Many of the graves listed below are unmarked.
