"Old Caney Station Cemetery - The Caney Station cemetery, the oldest known burial ground in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, has disappeared from its original location. Many of the stones of the cemetery have been moved numerous times until now they rest in a location several hundred yards from that spot laid out as a sacred burial ground by the first residents of the Greenville area in about 1795.
"Gayle Carver, of Greenville, who takes such history seriously, is urging that a permanent monument be erected at the site of the original Caney Station and Caney Station cemetery on the T. T. Kennedy farm one and one half miles northwest of Greenville on the Luzerne Road. Caney Station was abandoned as a community when Greenville became the county seat in 1799, and soon, the cemetery was also abandoned and fell into disrepair under a growth of vines and brush. From time to time the stones have been moved about by previous land owners until now they are far from the original sites of the graves. Many of the county’s pioneer and civic leaders are buried in this cemetery, unmarked by any monuments at all. This includes the remains of two congressmen, who served in Washington in the fledgling years of this county. They are Alney M. McLean and Edward Rumsey, whose positions in life should warrant them more respect than their current burial places now offer."

Life Of Alney McLean
Citation details: /Alney_McLean
Note: Early life: McLean was born to Ephraim and Eliza (Davidson) McLean in Burke County, North Carolina on June 10, 1779..... On November 16, 1805, McLean married Tabitha Russell Campbell, daughter of Revolutionary War William Campbell; the couple had ten children. One of McLean's grandsons, William C. McLean, became an Associate Justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court.....

Early life: McLean was born to Ephraim and Eliza (Davidson) McLean in Burke County, North Carolina on June 10, 1779..... On November 16, 1805, McLean married Tabitha Russell Campbell, daughter of Revolutionary War William Campbell; the couple had ten children. One of McLean's grandsons, William C. McLean, became an Associate Justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court.....
At the outset of the War of 1812, McLean organized a company of volunteers. Records show that the company was enlisted September 18, 1812. In 1813, he organized a company ultimately commanded by Lewis Kincheloe, then raised another company that he commanded personally both under General Samuel Hopkins in his campaigns against the Indians and at the Battle of New Orleans. He took offense to General Andrew Jackson's charge that the Kentuckians "ingloriously fled" during the battle, and remained a political opponent of Jackson's for the remainder of his life....Around 1820, McLean and his son William discovered coal on the family farm near the now-defunct town of Paradise. However, at the time, wood was more more plentiful and convenient, and the discovery was largely overlooked. In 1830, the McLeans mined some of the coal and sent it to Russellville, Kentucky on ox wagons and via barges down the Green River to Owensboro, Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana. The McLean mine was one of the first commercial mines in Muhlenberg County and was later valued above other mines in the county because of its transportation facilities. McLean died of pneumonia near Greenville, Kentucky in 1841 and was buried in Old Caney Station Cemetery, near Greenville, Kentucky. McLean County, Kentucky was formed from Muhlenberg and other counties in 1854 and named in honor of Alney McLean.
