Jesse CLARK
Ms. __?__
Elizabeth LUTTRELL?

WARNING: Because there are two Jesse CLARKs on the tax rolls, in two different parts of the county, I started out with the assumption that there were two Jesse CLARKs living in early Christian/Todd/Trigg Cos., KY. But the more I worked with the data, the more they seem to be one man. Taking the further assumption that it's possible for someone to appear in two different places on the tax list, because the one man owns land in two different areas, I'm going to make them one person. I could be wrong.

*The county was divided into just two districts: from 1804 to 1806, into North and South Districts; from 1807 to 1809, into East and West Districts.

I'm a little confused that the "Pond River" would place him in the "West" Dist., as it is in the NE corner of the county. The Little River is in the central, southern, and western part of the county. Big Flat Lick is, today, in Trigg Co.
