The Pitman family are namesakes of Pittsburg, Kentucky. Lot Pitman was born in a boat in 1790 while his family was crossing the Potomac River. Lot Pitman came to the area that became Laurel Co Ky with his family around 1801 - 1802. When Laurel Co became a county in 1825, Lot was chosen in March, 1826, by commissioners organizing the government, to be the first County Court Clerk of the new county. The cemetery is located near the head of Wood Creek,
where the Pitmans made their home. The cemetery is inactive and contains a number of unmarked fieldstones; a few graves from 1940s, 50s and 60s; and several of the Pitman family, including Lot and his wife.

The cemetery is located on private property. Permission to visit should be obtained in advance. As of 2020, the land is owned by Collision Masters, a body shop. The cemetery is located directly behind the body shop building and along the edge of the Interstate 75 border fence.
