I have the chance to take a quick drive thru Greene Co in late July and want to visit a couple of family sites. I'm descended from Joel and Mary Ford thru their son Philo and also from Benjamin and Sally Kipp thru their daughter Nancy. Can anyone tell me where they are buried? Or where they lived? I saw on a map that there is a Kipp Hill northwest of Lexington. Is it safe to assume the Kipps lived in that area? Did the Fords live in that direction, too? I checked Sylvia's Lexington cemeteries and didn't see what I was looking for. Unfortunately there is no time for research, but at least I'll be able to say I've been there. We're adding a day to vacation so my husband can see Hyde Park and I get to Greene Co. Thanks for any help or suggestions. Karol
Karol, I have retranscribed the Lexington Cemetery (the main one) as I was told that the transcription online at Tracing your Roots was not complete. I am in the midst of typing it up for posting on the site, and noticed quite a few Kipps. Here are a few: Corydon Kipp and wife Lucinda Decker Isaac Kipp and wife Nancy Van Hosen and son Leroy Alpheus Kipp Benjamin Kipp and wife Sally and son Benona (BINGO!) Probably more - not finished yet typing it up. Not sure this will hit the website before I head to Europe on vacation (we'll be gone a month) This is the Lexington Cemetery - section 2. Facing the cemetery this is the section on the far right at the back.
