Grave unmarked and not recorded in known records for this cemetery. However, see the following paragraph.
According to a history of Elijah Nuttall, Daniel Rawling's father-in-law, written 1898, by Martha (English) Green, widow of Norvin F Green and grand-daughter of Daniel's sister-in-law Martha (Nuttall) Demint, Daniel and Sarah (Nuttall) Rawlings lived on land between the Kentucky River and Mill Creek. This was part of some 900+ actes of land which Elijah Nuttall bought from Benjamin Craig in the area and bequeathed in his will to his 4 oldest daughters and son Price. Martha Green, whose account derived from stories related by her grandmother, says that Daniel Rawlings was a devout Methodist and had services in his home very often. Then she adds "It was in his garden that he buried the infant children, and his relations placed their dead beside them. And that was the beginning of the graveyard where almost the whole family are buried."
Sarah and all of Daniel Rawlings' children had died or moved away by 1830, and the Demint Cemetery appears on some early maps as either the Burnt Cabin or Rollins Cemetery, so the logical explanation seems to be that what became the Demint Cemetery originated with these burials in Daniel Rawlings garden.
