Greetings again Ann The list manager for Mercer County, Kentucky is Pam CAREY Durstock, she lives in Boone County which is just east of Kenton and they are side-by-side. You may want to contact her as she might be family. As for which church, Covington was full of Catholic churches at that time. It would all depend on where he lived and he could have been buried at any number of Catholic cemeteries, including Spring Grove Cemetery which is in Cincinnati. Again, Good Luck!!
