Graves of both Timothy and Elizabeth were originally on their farm near Beaverdam. Due to the local condemnation of land and the subsequent strip-mining of the land by the power company, this cemetery no longer exists.. Their graves were moved to the Walton Creek Baptist Cemetery and a new headstone erected. Their son William, and maybe John and Benjamin, who were in the cemetery without a headstones were not moved.

999As a youth Timothy Condit is said to have been very active and robust. He received a common school education, and early became an apprentice to the trade of a tanner and shoemaker. In 1793 he emigrated to Ohio with a party of teamsters in the employ of Judge John Cleve Symmes, the noted pioneer of Southwestern Ohio. One hundred and sixty acres of land was conveyed by Symmes to Timothy Condit as compensation for services rendered by him on the trip from New Jersey. Timothy soon afterwards sold this land for a nominal sum and removed to Jefferson County, Ky. He remained in Jefferson County until 1808, when he removed to Ohio County, Ky., where he bought a farm of two hundred and sixty acres, on which he established a tannery and shoe shop. He was engaged in this business until old age and infirmity obliged him to desist. As a pioneer he, with his wife and their young family, endured all the privations incident to a frontier life, spending much of the time of their early married life in block houses or semi-military posts, as a protection from the Indians, who were numerous in those early years of the history of this section. The religious life of Timothy was one of usefulness. His early training was in the Presbyterian Church. When he became settled in Kentucky he united with the Methodist Church, of which he was an active and honored member until death.
