I’m sharing a few gravestones from the new part of Holy Name of Mary Catholic Cemetery located in Calvary, Marion County, Kentucky. 1788 is given as the settlement date on the Rolling Fork River, but a few years earlier, those first few settlers could be found there. John Barton Abell, Henry Hudson Wathen, Benedict Spalding and Samuel Abell were Revolutionary War veterans who came to this land and are buried in this cemetery – in the older portion. There are several posts on this older portion of the cemetery.
These photographs were taken ten years ago – amazing how the time flies. Even more amazing – I found my second great-grandfather, Pius Carrico, buried here, as well as his second wife, Mary Ann Boarman.

Thank you for sharing! I’m a descendent of the Hayden & Carrico families that came from there to Fancy Farm KY.
We visited the Fancy Farm area several years ago.
Your followers are always grateful for your research. In this post, I find the Spaldings, Abells, and Carricos, all of whom I am related. My fifth great grandfather, Leonard Hamilton settled with his family at Rolling Fork in 1790. Thank you so much.
I am also related to the Lucketts, Spaldings. I believe my GGG Grandfather Hezekiah Luckett is buried there but I think the grave stone is not actually standing on the grave.
Looking forward to some point you’ll come across a grave stone of Sarah ( Wickliffe ) Ewing. Daughter of Lydia and Charles Wickliffe. Had married Charles Ewing in 1786
Sarah died somewhere in Kentucky in 1804
