Ayres Cemetery was described in Cemetery Inscriptions of Highland County, Ohio, by David N. McBride and Jane N. McBride (2nd edition, 1972), p. 498, as follows:

"This cemetery is situated on the farm owned by Peter L. Ayres before 1852. It is situated on Horner's Hill and lies behind the old brick farm home which is rapidly deterorating. The cemetery was approximately fifty feet by fifty feet with a stone wall surrounding the graves. Today the wall is gone and the cemetery almost obliterated. . . . known as the Peter L. Ayres burrying [sic] ground. . . . five mile west of [Hillsboro]. . . ."

Highland Pioneer Sketches & Family Genealogies by Elsie Johnson Ayres (1971), p. 748, says, "Peter Leake Ayres and several of the family were laid to rest on the old Ayres homestead on the Anderson Road, northwest of Hillsboro. . . . The family burial ground . . . has all but disappeared from the scene; only a few tombstones can be found."



The cemetery is located on the east side of Horner Hill Drive (Township Road 132A) near Briggs Road (Township Road 129A). The map location is approximate.



The cemetery is located in Union Township, Highland County, Ohio, and is # 5332 (Ayres Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
