Breckinridge County,
Kentucky Genealogy

 

Matthews-Burch Cemetery


This cemetery was initially transcribed on Sept. 30, 1987. It became neglected and overgrown
until descendants came in and cleaned it up in April, 2000. In cleaning it up, they found and unearthed stones
as well as repaired those and any others needing repairs, taking care of transcriptions which needed to be done.
This cemetery holds the remains of George Matthews and Benjamin Burch, along with the descendants of both men.
The complete registration was submitted to the Breckinridge County Archives for their records by
Wayne Meador and Francis Keenan on May 1, 2000. Updated information was given by Francis Keenan on July 24, 2010.
