Buried Nunn Cemetery, off Hwy. 365, Crittenden County, Kentucky. Tombstone photographed February 1993.  There are a number of graves marked only with rocks. These rocks may mark the burial sites of inmates of the old Poorhouse Farm which, at one time, was located nearby.

David C. James and Sarah Ann Nunn obtained a license to marry on 11 February 1850 Crittenden County. The bride's father, Ira Nunn, gave consent for the license to issue.[1]

The 1850 Crittenden County census shows D.C. James, age 21 and a clerk born in Tennessee and S.A. James, age 21 and born in Kentucky. Also living in the household was Thomas Nunn, age 24 and a merchant born in Kentucky.[2]

This cemetery is located on private land and is not accessible without permission.
