Clogher Cathedral, County Tyrone, Ireland burial site of John Breckenridge and wife Barbara
For rural Ulster this is a large graveyard. It is situated in the small town of Clogher on the south side of the main road leading from the Ballygawley roundabout to Enniskillen. This is a site of some antiquity and there has been a graveyard here from the beginning of the sixth century. A cathedral was built on this site in the late thirteenth century. In 1622 the cathedral was described as ‘altogether ruinated’. Shortly afterwards a new Protestant cathedral was built here. The present cathedral was built in 1744 by Bishop John Stearne. In 1786 the graveyard was enlarged to its present two acres. For the last 400 years the graveyard has been used by both Protestants and Catholics.

Notes |
- "According to the biography of John Breckenridge, the Kentucky senator of the Civil War period, his family came to this country in about 1728 from Ulster, Ireland. The family originated in Ashire, Scotland, migrated to the highlands of Scotland to Breadalbane, Scotland, later to the North of Ireland. As Protestants, the Breckenridges took part in some of the wars in Ireland in which Alexander's father was a leader. The Protestants being again defeated, Alexander and his brother fled to America into Philadelphia. They remained for some years in Pennsylvania. Alexander moved on to Virginia by way of Staunton, then east again to Albemarle County and was living in Augusta Co, Virginia in 1738. His brother remained in Pennsylvania and retained the original spelling of Brackenridge."
