According to The Biography of William Cunningham, William and child Nancy were buried in this cemetery.

Really would like to find other documentation on William as biography states that as a young man, he ran away from home to avoid military service, ditched his uncle, who stowed him away on the ship he was a sailor on, when he asked him to work as a sailor himself, then turned around and served in the US Army during the Whiskey Rebellion in PA for the two years he had supposedly run from Scotland to avoid. Finally, this tailor's son took up farming and became a model citizen/farmer/doctor/circuit court member/road commissioner who "figured very much in the early history of the county",,, in the five years he resided in Trigg before he died??? The only thing I can deduce from the above contradictions is that he must have been quite a character! :-)
