The third Hibbitts Cemetery is located at London, Kentucky in Laurel County. Cornelius Hibbitts, son of Charles and Amanda Hibbitts, purchased the farm and cemetery in 1919. At that time the cemetery was known as the Tanner or Pinetop Cemetery. In 1920, Cornelius deeded that portion of the farm containing the cemetery to John Tyler Hibbitts, his youngest son. Over the years the cemetery became known as the Pinetop Cemetery and later the Hibbitts Cemetery.
