James C Coffey Cemetery was established in 1913. It located on Yamacraw, Hilltop, McCreary County Kentucky. Of interest, is the burial of Sherd Dobbs. He was the first Dobbs Settler in this area and had donated land for the Shearer (Sherd) Dobbs Cemetery on Rattlesnake Ridge. His having marrying Sarah "Sally" Ann Coffey probably meant that he would be buried in the James C Coffey Cemetery, instead of the land he donated. As a matter of information; Lilly Coffey said, Sherd had a brother Jim "Fret" Dobbs, some of his childern were; Joe, Saul, Levi and Jim Boy. There is a Levi Dobbs and J.S Dobbs with a sandstone marker in a long concrete marker row at Sherd Dobbs Cemetery.
