NOTES:
See THE HISTORY OF SPENCER COUNTY, KENTUCKY by Mary Frances Brown,
FHL 976.9455H2s, pg 265:
"ZACHARIAH CLARKE: Zachariah Clarke (1766-1848) a son of John andElizabeth Ellis Clarke, settled on the road once known as Carrither sLane, now Highway 4429 which crosses the dam. Zachariah had a largefamily . His first dwelling was a log cabin at the end of the lane, justabove the present dam site. Later this house became the property of hisgrandson Will Carrithers who added a two story frame house to the old logcabin. Zachariah built the brick house up the lane which was later ownedby Charles Cochran, then Frank and Earl Cochran."
"Zachariah was married to Sarah Powell, born in 1778, a daughter ofWilliam Powell of Virginia. William Bridgewater was the bondsman.Bridgewater later became a large landowner in the Spencer Countyterritory , and was one of the five original trustees of Taylorsville in1799."
"Zachariah and Sarah had 12 children most of whom are buried at thebrick house, now demolished by the Corps. The children were:
1. William P. Clarke
2. John S. Clarke
3. Amanda Clark Carrithers (Mrs. Francis)
4. Virginia Clarke
5. Edwin D. Clarke
6. Sallie Emily Clarke
7. Susan M. Clarke
8. Carolyn Snider (Mrs. Peter)
9. Angeline Murphey (Mrs. William B.)
10. Mary Ann Stone (Mrs. George R.)
11. Nancy Ann Tutt (Mrs. William)
12. Elizabeth Burkhead (Mrs. Eli).
"In March 27, 1851, Zachariah made an agreement with the Trustees ofTaylorsville outlining a burying ground for his family "from the center of
the well in the yard on the north side of the mansion house of ZachariahClarke the said land and premises hereby conveyed to the party of thesecond part (the Trustees of Taylorsville) in trust for the use andbenefit of the party of the first part and their heirs as a buryingground."
"William P. distinguished himself in real estate in Spencer County .There was a continual process of buying and selling of city lots andlands during his lifetime. Much of this property was bought at theCourthouse steps for very little money. John S. built the large framewhite house, later owned by John Clarke Carrithers, for his bride. Themarriage never materialized. John gave the land for Culpepper School andnamed it Culpepper after a county in Virginia. Angeline Clarke marriedWilliam B. Murphey. Susan M. left a large estate, and before her deathshe gave a house to the First Baptist Church of Taylorsville to be usedas a parsonage.
"Of this large family six girls married, three remained single, a didthe three sons. This family was known for its longevity, the average age
of the cemetary occupants being 71, eight of the 11 being over 70 yearsof age."

"Edward Cole, born 1658 in St. Mary's County, Maryland, died 9 Dec
1717 in St. Mary's County, Maryland. He married 1688, in Bushwood,
St. Mary's County, Maryland, Elizabeth Slye, daughter of Robert and
Susannah Slye. Edward Cole made a will dated 6 April, 1717, and prov ed
20 Dec 1717, in which he identified six children: Edward, Elizabeth,
Robert, Honora, Ruth and Susannah. Robert died before his mother set tled

Elizabeth married William Heard. Son Robert did not marry. Daughter
Honora married Thomas Spalding. Daughter Ruth married Thomas Matting ly.
Daughter Susanna married George Jenkins. (Again poor Thomas Richard Gardiner has committed error. According to Father Jenkins and Peggy Om an,Edward married Elizabeth on 7 Oct, 1714. This is consistant wit h thefact that Elizabeth's first spouse, Luke Gardiner, didn't die u ntil1705. It is also true that Luke and Elizabeth had several childr en bornin the 1690s.)
