KINNAIRD GRAVEYARD

In 1926 I made a pilgrimage up the Ohio River above Williams-
town, in quest of such information as to pioneer families of that
section as I could gather.  Knowing that there is no better place
than the local burying ground to begin, these were the first
object of my quest.

The first one visited seems for the most part a private lot.  It is
situated on the old Kinnaird farm, and is about twenty by
seventy-two feet in area.

Though neglected and is bad repair, being all overgrown with
clumps of yucca and weeds, it has at one time been cleaned up
and enclosed with a substantial fence.  Concrete posts carrying
gas pipe railing.  There is a cedar tree in the northwest corner
and the plat appears to be full of graves.

I noted:
Rev. Rufus Kinnaird, March 24th, 1871 - age 57 years.
Sophia, his wife, August 22, 1891 - age 74 years.  She was a
daughter of Tillinghast A. Cook.
Catherine Ann (Kinnaird), wife of Jacob Gates, July 10, 1837 -
aged 25 years.  She was married in 1836.
Drusilla, daughter of John A. and Mary Kinnaird.  Died in
1871 - aged 25 years.  She was a sister of Rufus.
Three children of Rufus:  Bettie, Cook and an infant are
buried by their parents.
The name, Mildred, wife of Isaac Dunham, on a crumbling
stone - but the dates are gone.
