A 1978 transcription of the cemetery states:
"The Burr Family Graveyard is located on the Smiths Grove Road several miles southwest of Adairville, KY, on a farm now owned by Dr David Price of Lexington, KY. It is near the home of Mrs Polly Appleton Sharp.
The cemetery is on a hill just west of Buttermilk Spring where Andrew Jackson stopped after his duel with Charles Dickenson in 1806. Mrs Margaret Barnes Stratton on page 10 of "Place-Names of Logan County and Oft-Told Tales of Logan County" which was published in 1950, said "After the duel, Andrew Jackson stopped at Miller Spring (on what has been known since, as the old Burr Farm), and asked a slave woman for a drink of buttermilk."
