JOHN ESTEP CEMETERY 
Copied by: Roberta McCarty
Rockhouse, Johnson Co Ky.

List of graves in the John Estep Cemetery behind Burl McCarty's home on Rock House of 
Jenny's Creek. This is on the farm that was home to John Estep and his wife Sara "Sally" 
Marshall Estep. It was a part of the larger farm of her parents, Ruben Marshall and Delila 
Spradlin Marshall.


The obituary for DORA BAYES is very interesting as it states the name of this cemetery as
the "MARSHALL CEMETERY" in Rockhouse. Time Period: 1935


There are about 12 or 15 graves with no markers. Most of these are the family of Dora 
Estep Bayes and her husband, Leander Bayes and a Borders man. We do not know the 
relationship to the Estep family.

Leander Bayes and his wife Dora Bayes and several of their children are buried in the 
unmarked graves. I talked to June Meade Rice and she told me she attended some of the 
funerals. Leander's funeral was held in Roy Estep's front yard.
  
I think the Borders man was a Bayes grandchild.
