Location	:	Jeffersonville, Clark County, USA
Description	:	This cemetery and its interred were "moved" in order to expand Oak Park Subdivision. The following is some history courtesy of Jeanne Burke, local historian: "This cemetery was located in the west half of Grant 4 on Utica Pike, about 1/2 mile east of the old city limits of Jeffersonville. (This would have been from Division Street, the western boundary of the old town limits of Port Fulton, then 1/2 miles east on Utica Pike.

Read More	This cemetery and its interred were "moved" in order to expand Oak Park Subdivision. The following is some history courtesy of Jeanne Burke, local historian: "This cemetery was located in the west half of Grant 4 on Utica Pike, about 1/2 mile east of the old city limits of Jeffersonville. (This would have been from Division Street, the western boundary of the old town limits of Port Fulton, then 1/2 miles east on Utica Pike. Grants 2, 3 & 4 were owned by Michael Lacassange, who willed 300 acres in Grant 2 and 500 acres in Grant 4 to Col. Robert K. (Kearney) Moore of Louisville. Lacassange's will (probated in Jefferson County, Kentucky: proved Nov 8, 1797) created the cemetery and establishes Lacassange as the first burial therein. Lacassange expressed his desire "to be buried at Richmond, provided I shall not die at such a distance too far away to render the removal of my body [im] practicable....and to have a small, well-built house of brick or stone erected over my grave." In about 1800, Col. & Mrs. Catherine Moore built a brick house in Grant 4, about 1/2 mile east of Jeffersonville. It was known as "Richmond". The house was thought in later years to be haunted. Col. Robert K. Moore died in the spring or summer of 1808, as proved by the suit of Robert K. Moore -vs- Aaron Bowman, Minute Book of the Court of Common Pleas of Clark County, Indiana, on September 14, 1808. The suit was dropped due to the death of the Plaintiff (Col. Moore). Also, there is further substantiation of the death of Col. Moore in that there are three articles in The Western Courier, published at Louisville, from November 9, 1814 to December 14, 1815, in which Catherine Moore advertises a farm to rent "in Richmond", just above Jeffersonville. In those days, women did not own property unless they were widowed. Catherine Moore died before April 21, 1851, as her will was probated in Jefferson County, Kentucky, on that date. She was buried at Richmond, according to the article in The National Democrat, published at Jeffersonville, Indiana on June 1, 1888, reproduced in the Lacassange/Moore Cemetery records at the Jeffersonville Public Library." Col. Moore, Catherine, some of their children and grandchildren were moved and reburied in Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, Kentucky. What a shame!!!!!!!
