Pitt Cemetery

I am giving this a special place at the top of the Ky cemeteries page, This is my GrGrGrandfather who we have been trying to find for years. Thanks to Robert Worden, we have this information, ( It appears ) Frederick Burnham is buried in an unmarked grave at the Pitt Cemetery which is a part of the Frederick Burnham grant that left the hands of the heirs in 1856 when Oliver and Martin Burnham conveyed, " the land on which Frederick Burnham died ", to Willis Strow....300 acre,  " except the graveyard and 1/2 acre, school house lot ". A portion of the same land is mentioned in the Pitt division in 1892.
 It is located on the Benton Birmingham road and may be hard to find as it could be in the middle of a field, behind trees, or etc.

Thanks Robert
Note ; Oliver and Martin were Frederick's sons, and 1856 is the year their Mother Elizabeth died, Frederick died about 1835
