This is how the Hutton Cemetery looked
on July 19, 2000
The picture pretty
much says it all. This family cemetery has just about disappeared underneath
a blanket of Periwinkle and dense underbrush. This cemetery is a mass of
unmarked graves with most of the graves sinking and collapsing. There are
however a few marked graves in this cemetery, but very few. We photographed
what we could find. A lot of the graves just have a rock placed at the
head and at the foot to mark them, some are not marked at all except for
a depression where the grave is located.
Lewis Johnson was the last caretaker,
for which his notes tell the identities of some of the unmarked graves.
He gives approxiamate locations of some of the unmarked graves and lets
us know who some of the individuals are in this cemetery.
To get to the cemetery, turn off of
Road 229 in Jarvis, Knox Co., Kentucky, onto Elam Branch Road. Go approximately
1 mile. You will drive up an inclined driveway on the South side of the
road. Make sure to stop and let the landowner know who you are and why
you are there. The Cemetery will be located in a southeasterly direction
in the woods behind the house.

In the southeast corner
of the cemetery were 5 tombstones. All appear to be from a family by the
name of Parker. Rumor has it that these are the children of Sarah Malinda
CLOUSE and William Brock Parker. I have a list of the children of Sarah
Malinda CLOUSE and William Brock Parker and these children do not appear
to be theirs. One of the tombstones lists the parents of an infant with
the initials of N.B. & S.E. Parker. The parents of the infant and the
others could be Sarah E. HUTTON (D/O Elizabeth J. SLEMP & Leonard Hutton)
and Nathan B. Parker a brother to William Brock Parker. This will have
to be researched further.
