You are welcomed. Priscilla

Priscilla, thanks for the info, Patrick

Patrick, None of the surnames you mentioned are listed in the Pitts Point Catholic Cemetery. The following surnames are listed: Bohannon Dawson French Greenwell Hibbs Howlett Huffman Laswell Mattingly McCullum Meunier Pearl Quick Reesor Ryan Straney Thurman Viers Wiseman Priscilla

There's a complete listing of all known burials at Ft. Knox available in the Hardin Co. archives. The page is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ky/hardin/hardin.html -scroll down to the cemeteries section and you'll find links to the files (there are 4 of them). You can check for information from them yourself. From a recent inquiry I made for someone else, if you do find someone that you're looking for listed, more information can be obtained from Richard Helmkamp, the Ft. Knox archealogist. Some cemeteries are open at all times for visitation - the ones in the "middle" of post where public traffic and access is always open. Some are in restricted areas (training areas, etc.) that they try to make access available on Memorial Day weekend, and some are totally restricted due to dangers of their locations (ranges where live ammunition might be present). My understanding is that they've hired a company to photograph all the tombstones, but they haven't received any so I don't know what exactly will be available or when. Richard should have more information.

I know that my late father-in-law helped buying land when some of the graves from Fort Knox were moved but I don't know from where. This is at Mt. Eden Cemetery on Hwy. # 44 in Bullitt Co., KY. You could try to search Bullitt Co. for some graves since in borders on Ft. Knox military lines, that are West of Shepherdsville, KY. Also, some Cemeteries are still on Ft. Knox land, but as far as I know you can't access them.

I am trying to locate info on Rev. Henry B. Goodwin,my g g g grandfather. He seems to have either died or left Lawrence county Ky between 1847 and 1850 any info appreciated thanks mary Rev Henry B Goodwin was a circuit rider and is mentioned in this article about the Methodist Gallup Circuit Riders. He was listed in the Circuit of Gallup and Borders area, this was in the late 1830's and early 1840's . the Gallup and Borders Circuit included the areas of Busseyville, Dry Ridge or Walnut Gap, Moores Chapel, Richardson, Borders Chapel and Gallup. Henry was apparently a carpenter also. There is a court case, dated Nov. 4, 1845, where he places a claim against the estate of Richard Brown. Henry apparently had made sashes for the windows in Brown's house and installed 82 feet of picture railing. For all this Henry wanted $86.

I will try to address some here. As far as the name and location; Grandview Cemetery in Brekenridge Co. Also origenally known as the Kasey Family Cemetery It is very far from the city so it doesn't fall under E-towns jurisdiction. The KY State Police patrol the area as they can. I was co-founder of the paranormal research group Kentucky Society for Ghost Research and the indevidual that coordinated a volunteer clean up at the cemetery a few years back. We logged all readable inscriptions and posted them on findagrave.com as well as contacting the county archives to compare listings. We are also in contact with some of the decendants of the Kasey family burried there and have made several follow up visits to fix broken headstones. Durring the clean up we included media such as WAVE 3 news, FOX 41 news and the Courier Journal to help spread the word of the cemeteries plight and others like it. As far as "satanic" rites being preformed there have been several groups seen out there but from what I've been told the cerimonies are not done as they were supposed to be and it apears that the violators are just wanna-bes or kids out for a thrill. When ever we go out there we first contact the State Police to let them know we will be in the area, and we log license plates of anyone that arives and turn it in to the State Police for future reference. I know it's not much but it is a start. Some of the "neighbors" though few and far between in the rural area occasionally patrol as well. I am not related to those buried there but I treat it as if I were. This is what I would hope someone would do for my ancestors. I have just started a yahoo group for the purpose of saving this cemetery. I would like to invite all of you to join the efforts. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GrandviewCemetery I will be contacting the Kaseys and inviting them to join as well. Thanks, John Amerine

He was a son of Wm. G.
