This was interesting, as Jacob Cutler married into my Clark line; his wife was Linda Siney
Clark, daughter of Thomas Clark and wife (unknown), who moved to Morgan County from
Kentucky. I am wondering if anyone else has connections to a Clark family in Morgan
County

Cutler, John Gray, Joshua Taylor, and Samuel Scott, became the founding fathers of
Martinsville. The town was named for the senior member of the selection committee and
local settler JOHN MARTIN. James Gattelly surveyed and laid out the town with 42 blocks,
