Jerry, If you go to the Hardin County Court House records http://www.hccoky.org/search.asp and do a name search you will find wills for a John Medcalf who lists a son John K Medcalf, and a will for a John K Medcalf, either or both of them may be the John Medcalf in St Clare Catholic Cemetery in Colesburg. but more likely it is John K Medcalf, the son. I've photographed most of the tombstones in St Clare and about 20% of them are difficult or impossible to read. John Medcalf's will is dated May 8, 1849. He lists his wife "Incia Medcalf" He also lists daughter Matilda Pursell and husband, daughter Celey Thompson, son G W Medcalf and son John K Medcalf, youngest son Charles Medcalf, and appoints son Samuel Medcalf as his executor. Codicil to this will was written on Dec 14, 1854 to change disposal of assets and to deduct from his son George W Medcalf, a certain sum advanced to him in the intervening 5 years. This will was presented in the Hardin Co Courthouse in Elizabethtown on Monday, January 15, 1855, purporting to be the Last Will and Testament of John Medcalf, deceased. John K Medcalf's will is dated Oct 4, 1868 and he names his wife Mary Ann, Mother Teresa Medcalf and two sons Thomas Lee Medcalf and John Clarence Medcalf. Both sons are listed as not of legal age, This will was presented at the Hardin Co, KY Courthouse in Elizabethtown on Oct 19, 1868 purporting to be the last will and testament of John K Medcalf, deceased Bob Alvey In a message dated 01/29/09 16:00:47 Pacific Standard Time, jerry876@comcast.net writes: St Clare Cemetery Colesburg Kentucky Colesburg, KY is in Hardin County, KY So the tomstone must be that of John K.
