The cemetery was originally the Spilman Family Cemetery. Per the church cornerstone, the Baptist Church adjacent to the cemetery was constituted on April 17, 1820. In 1946, Elizabeth Morrow Cooley of Ft. Thomas recorded the inscriptions on the tombstones, which were located on the north side of the First Baptist Church of Alexandria. By 1986, the cemetery had been paved over for a parking lot adjacent to the church, and the stones had been thrown over the hill behind the church. Subsequently, the hill has been bulldozed, and there is no evidence of the tombstones. In 2016, the church is now the High Point Baptist Church, although the stained glass window above the church entrance still reads "First Baptist Church".
