************************************************

Below research of Clinton Slayton (#46632769) original creator of memorial. He had him listed as 'unknown' burial.

No stone. B ca 1820

Researcher Russ Klicker points out that there are several small cemeteries known as Bunch Cemetery in Barren co KY. A listing from a very old Barren co cemetery survey lists him as buried in the same yard with Callum & Spicey Slaton (Bunch Cemetery as found on Find A Grave). But it is possible that Lorenzo D is buried in one of the other small yards known by the same name, or near his cabin.

Since virtually all the stones being attributed to these yards are now gone, there can be no certainty as to which piece of present day farmland holds these interments.

However, I should point out that the old surveys were taken when more stones were visible and/or extant. I have chosen to list him as Burial UNKNOWN for these reasons.
