St. Rose Church Cemetery

231

I have for you today selected stones from St. Rose Church Cemetery.  St. Rose is located slightly southwest of Springfield, Washington County, Kentucky.  St. Rose is where my mother was baptized, made her First Holy Communion and married twice.  Many of our ancestors are buried there.  It’s a beautiful church!

War married Mary Carrico in Washington County MD, they had 7 to 8 children when moved to Spencer County Ky. A record was found here at St. Rose Cath. Church that a Theresa Kerrick spelled Carrique, and Heavron or Heavrin was married there in 1790’s she gave Thomas Mudd as her Gaurdian and listed Benjamin H kerrick as her brother. Any help is appreciated. Please email me if possible at
