Thanks, Phyllis. The year 1833 for Sally's death is a help. It at least gives me a clue as to her death date. I did know that the Reverend had been moved to the DAR Cemetery due to his having been a chaplain in the Virginia Militia. John Cunningham is a major roadblock for me. There was a Hugh Cunningham in Woodford with a son named John, but it is not my John. Another researcher once told me that my John must have come from a good Baptist family or else Reverend William would not have allowed her daughter to marry him. I have searched Virginia records, but there are just too many John Cunninghams to find this particular one.

In answer to your question regarding the Hickman Cemetery, here is what I have: HICKMAN CEMETERY---Scruggs Lane off Hwy. 421, 50 yards north of old Scruggs house. Only parts of a few stones remain. Fragments of stone read:? "66 years",? Dec 18, 1825,? Age 19 yrs. 10 mos, 28 days" Rev. William Hickman was the first Baptist preacher in Kentucky.? A chaplain in the Revolutionary War, his remains were removed to the Frankfort Cemetery by the DAR on July 4, 1916. ====================== John Cunningham m Sally Hickman, F 1799. In 1800 he bought from Elisha Lindsay the farm at Jett which until recently was owned by the Cromwells. He sold this land to Edmund Vaughan in 1802, and went to Frankfort, where in 1810 he had a family of five. Source:? Above is an excerpt from Forks of Elkhorn Church, by Ermina Jett Darnell, published in 1946: ------------------------------ I'm sorry I can't find anymore than that.? I am trying to find Rev. Wm. Hickman, Sr.'s Will to see if Sally?and or?John Cunningham are listed.? Sadly, I have that they both died before the Reverend. Sally in 1833 and John abt 1824. Until yesterday, I had Wm. Jr's Will on his father's page.?I have looked and looked for?Sr's Will.? You would think that?the elder?Hickman's Will would be more available unless of course, he never made one. He was always traveling from place to place and probably didn't take the time to make one.

They married in Franklin County, KY in 1799. I don't know the parents of John Cunningham, but Sally was the daughter of the Baptist minister, William Hickman, and his wife, Elizabeth Shackelford. John died about 1824 when Benjamin Hickman, son of William, was made guardian of John's sons, Fountain and William. I would like to know where he is buried. Sally Hickman Cunningham was a founding member of the Frankfort Baptist Church in Franklin County, KY. In 1816, but I have no knowledge of her death or burial. I think there was a Hickman family cemetery in the area, but do not know for certain. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
