    1. [VanArsdale-L] Early Cemetery Behind the Mudwall Church
    2. Robert & Beatrice Rockwell
    3. Is it still there? Ideal traveling for Interested Genealogist? Copied from Ned Brenner's letter dated August 22, 1985 filed in MO Record. "We spent an afternoon at Shakertown (KY), toured old Fort Harrod, Lincoln marriage cabin, pioneer cemetery and 1830 James Taylor home/ museum and drove out RT. 68 south-west to Dry Branch Road. The sign at the turnoff says "Pioneer Baptist Church" but the Low Dutch Mudwall Church is also down this road about two miles. Since Harrods was said to be the first settlement in central KY, this Mudwall Dutch Church may have been the first location of many of the NJ Dutch who later settled in other parts of KY and some may have later settled in Clermont Co., OH. There is an early cemetery behind the Mudwall church with many of the same names we know. Durees, Bantas, Van Arsdalens, Davis and many others. The church still has the "wine glass" pulpit, located on the side wall, with benches facing center from both ends of the building." Jus Armstrong
