This is an independent research project and I am not affiliated with the Old Union Christian Church
or
the Old Union Christian Church Cemetery.
My name is David Shannon and
I am sharing information I have gathered based on family memories and
information gathered from actual tombstones. Most information gathered is
directly from the gravestones at the Old Union Christian Church Cemetery on Russell Cave
Road in rural Lexington, Kentucky. This area is known as Loradale. My grandmother was Dora Harp Griffin. Although my grandmother is buried elsewhere (Bluegrass Memorial Gardens) many of
her family members are buried at the Old Union Christian Church Cemetery including her parents
(my great
grandparents) Lloyd & Julia Harp. My purpose is two-fold.
I hope if you are searching and find this site it
is helpful to you... and if you can provide more information of my family
history, please contact me. I can be contacted at this link:
The most recent burial,
according to my knowledge/research was J. C. Fuller.
J.C. died August 25, 2014
From my research, the oldest
marked grave is for Elizabeth Lydick.
Elizabeth died November 16, 1806.
This grave marker has got to be one of the oldest grave marker in Fayette
County.
See information on Grave Stone
preservation for the stone of Elizabeth Lydick
New information has been provided to me that links a burial in this cemetery to Kentucky Pioneer Daniel Boone. Eliza Jane Boone married John Calvin Frakes. Both are buried at Old Union. You can view the Frakes Family Records at this link:

I am posting graves for people that are
shown on their death certificates to be buried at Old Union Cemetery,
Fayette Co. I have not located stones for many of these graves. I am
assuming that these bodies are buried at Old Union Cemetery. If you have
information concerning corrections that need to be made, please contact me. |
