Jennie, Are your Parkers from the Peaks Mill area? Thanks.

Prior to the development of Frankfort Cemetery, "there was no recognized public, general, cemetery for Frankfort. Some churches outside of Frankfort had their own cemeteries. The nearest thing to a general public cemetery was the one around the hilltop on Leestown Pike now known as Bellevue Cemetery. It was located in the Thorn Hill area, between US 421 and Fifth Street. Several prominent and distinguished Kentuckians were buried there prior to 1845 . . . remains from at least some of these citizens were removed later to Frankfort Cemetery, but some may remain in Bellevue" Also, the remains of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca, which were reburied in Frankfort Cemetery in 1845 from their orig! inal burial site in Missouri. >From the wording in this foreword, it sounds as though the Bellevue Cemetery still exists (although "by the 1840's this area (Bellevue) was becoming crowded, and a notice was published that no more burials could be made there"). But I don't know if it is maintained or whether it is on public or private property. Does anybody know? Please respond to the list, if anybody has any information! I guess other burials were in private cemeteries on farms? There is only one burial for a BARTLETT in this book. Although it is not your g g grandparent, it may be of some value to you: In the book on page 305 (in Section O of the cemetery): Bartlett, Mattie V. / Wife of W.F. Bartlett / Nov 8, 1847 - Apr 2, 1893 I believe the current caretaker for the cemetery is Mr. Jim Richardson.

Hello Brenda: I don't know where Peaks Mill is, but that name hasn't come up in my research. Unfortunately, my Parker line is currently at a dead end. The farthest back that I have been able to go is to Charles H. Parker and his first wife Maria Roach. I am directly descended from this couple -- their daughter Sarah Elizabeth Parker married George Jesse Kaze; both Sarah and George are buried in the Frankfort Cemetery. The daughter of Sarah and George was my grand mother Lula Nelson Kaze Noland (husband James Murray Noland) also buried in the Frankfort Cemetery. I have the title to the two graves immediately next to Lula's grave; my husband and I plan to be buried there. Now, with respect to Charles H. Parker -- he was, according to his Civil War pension application, born in 1844 in Gravel Switch, KY (over in Marion Co). After the war (where he served with General John Hunt Morgan, aka Morgan's Raiders, Confederate Army), he came to Mercer Co, KY, where he lived out the rest of his life. He is buried in the Ebenezer Church cemetery in Salvisa, KY alongside his second wife Georgiana Spaulding. He had 4 children with his first wife Maria Roach, and about a dozen with his second wife Georgiana. Courtesy of the wonderful Mercer Co, KY historical society in Harrodsburg, I can trace Maria's family back several generations further from Virginia (although her father is unknown and will remain that way -- he was unidentified even at the time of her birth; her mother Belinda Roach Jr. was "not quite right in the head" for reasons unknown; oral tradition in the family is that she fell off a cliff and hit her head while young; but Belinda's parents! Belinda Sr (Roach) Roach and William Roach were first cousins, so who knows . . .). Anyway, many of the descendants of Charles Parker from both of his wives have features and coloring compatible with Cherokee blood, abundant straight black hair and dark complexion. Family oral tradition has it that there was Cherokee blood in the family, but it is unclear from which line. Photographs of Charles Parker's granddaughter Lula Nelson Kaze Noland indicate these features; unfortunately Lula died when my mother was less than a year old, so my mother did not have the benefit of her mother's stories. But I have not found any documentation on Charles H. Parker other than his Civil War pension application. Supposedly, at the time he entered the Civil War at age 16 or 17, his mother was widowed and he had a brother. So, if you have any ideas for me that would be wonderful! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brenda Duvall" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 10:05 AM Subject: RE: [KYFRANKL] Re: Franklin Cemetery book > Jennie, > > Are your Parkers from the Peaks Mill area? > > Thanks. > > Brenda J Duvall > 304 Old Station Road > Frankfort KY 40601 > (502) 223-3779 Home > (502) 395-3284 Cell > -----Original Message----- > From: Jennie & Bob Cox [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 8:00 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [KYFRANKL] Re: Franklin Cemetery book > > Good morning Mary Jane: > > According to the foreword to my blue-bound book Frankfort Cemetery . . . in > Kentucky, copyright 1988 by The Kentucky Genealogical Society, Inc., the > Frankfort Cemetery was incorporated in early 1845 (only the 2nd incorporated > cemetery in the U.S.), with burials beginning in 1846.

Looking for ANY information on a Garfield Fugate who may be buried somewhere in or around Frankfort. Born around 1900 to 1905 and died ?????, probably after 1930. gerg

There are no persons surnamed "FUGATE" in my book. ----- Original Message ----- From: "greg" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 11:27 AM Subject: [KYFRANKL] Burial or death record or notice > > Looking for ANY information on a Garfield Fugate who may be buried > somewhere in or around Frankfort.

The Sarah Elizabeth Parker name sounds familiar, but it sounds as if your Parkers are not the ones related to our Peaks Mill line. However, if you run into a connection with Peaks Mill, please contact me as I have compiled a 750-page cemetery book containing pictures, obits, death records, headstone photos and more and in the book there are 31 references to surname Parker. If you are ever in Frankfort, it can be viewed at the Kentucky History Center, Capital City Museum and/or purchased directly from me. Thanks.
