Total records = 691 includes Reserved Family Graves. From court square in downtown Bardstown, take US 62 (aka Boston Road) for approximately 4.4 miles, turn left onto Bellwood Road (KY 733), the church and cemetery are on your right approximately 0.7 mile. To reach the cemetery from I-65 in Elizabethtown take Hwy 62 East for about 17.9 miles, turn right onto Bellwood Road (KY 733). Cemetery is on the right surrounding the church. The cemetery is owned and maintained by “The First Cedar Creek Baptist Church” which was constituted on Jul 04, 1781. (The 2nd oldest church in Kentucky). The cemetery was established a few years later, with the first burial being C. L. Barnes in 1878. The cemetery grounds are well maintained and still active today. Donations from past and current family members are accepted and the funds are used exclusively for the annual upkeep and maintenance of the cemetery. I have transcribed this information from the old church cemetery records and have walked the grounds collecting and verifying information from the tombstone engravings. There are a few discrepancies as noted when it comes to actual names and dates. I have worked diligently to contact family members to verify and correct information where possible. The information is current through April 14, 2010. I actively maintain these records working with the Cemetery Committee for which I served on the board in the past and remain a member of the church. Feel free to contact me via email (ginni4684@att.net) with any questions, corrections or updates.
