Misc. Notes
Col. William Christian, whose wife was a sister of Patrick Henry of Virginia. Col. Christian came to Jefferson County in 1785 and was killed by the Indians in 1786. He was buried at Oxmoor, the oldest burying ground in Kentucky, where all the descendants of the families who have since died have been “gathered to their fathers.” Burying ground is on what was Col. Christian’s home, adjoining Oxmoor, and is scrupulously cared for by the family, a permanent fund having been provided for the purpose, and is in the form of a trust in the hands of the Fidelity Trust Co. Governor Bullitt died in 1816.
