are buried side-by-side, near their home, in a small cemetery on Sandlick Branch, on Little Bull Creek, Sprule, KY. Big Bull Creek its tributary, Little Bull Creek are across the hill from the headwaters of Big Richland Creek. Big Bull Creek runs into Goose Creek, a tributary of the South Fork of the Kentucky River.  As well as being a farmer, John was a preacher at the Friendship Baptist Church in Woolum, KY. According to his oldest daughter, Barbary (Corey) Tedders, he "rode rafts" at one point in his life (presumably when he was young), transporting logs down Goose Creek and the Kentucky River to Frankfort when these streams were flooded. Thomas Clark's book, "The Kentucky," tells about this way of transporting timber to Frankfort, specifically mentioning Goose Creek. After John's death, Annie married again to a Hopper who was related to the Hopper family that the Coreys had been close friends with on Bull Creek. Annie lived with him for a while in Laurel County, but she preferred to stay with her children most of the time. Her new husband eventually told her to just stay with them if that is what she wanted. And so she did. |
Barbary Corey married Jack Tedders, with Barbary's maternal uncle, Peter Jarvis, [son of Jackson &Barbary(Tuttle) Jarvis and grandson of Jack &Polly{Cobb} Jarvis] a Justice of the Peace, conducting the ceremonies at her home on Bull Creek. Jack's cousin, Clabe Taylor, [son of Isaac &Susan(Sasser) Taylor and grandson of Clayborn & Sarah (Woolum) Taylor] and others accompanied him in the walk across the hill to the wedding, and the newly married couple returned to the uncle's house on Big Richland for a big infare dinner the next day. No children were born to them, but they raised Mazie "Pearl" Taylor [daughter of Clabe &Sarah(Humfleet) Taylor] from three years of age and were intensely devoted to her and later to her children, of whom Glenn E. Perry, who is given "Special Recognition" at the top of this page, is the eldest. Living at first at several places on Bull Creek and Big Richland, Jack and Barbary moved in with his mother, Angeline (Taylor) Tedders, and grandfather, Clayborn Taylor, [son of Jacob "Isaac" &Rhoda{Smith} Taylor] at the place where Clayborn had settled on Big Richland [later to be known as Tedders, KY], in 1858, and they took care of him in his old age.  Following the elder Clayborn's death in 1918, they acquired the farm and built a big frame house on the site of his log house, actually recycling some of the materials, including log sills and the stone hearth. This occurred as soldiers (particularly Barbary's brother, John H. Corey) were returning from the First World War, causing John H. to comment that the demolished old house reminded him of Germany. The house was just about halfway between Barbourville and Manchester, and Barbary would proudly relate in her old age that people told her it was the finest one between the two towns. Jack's and Barbara's pride was matched by their hospitality, for that was where everybody was a welcome guest. She said that it had not been uncommon for forty people to eat at her house at one time. And travelers and drummers always spent the night there. That is where preachers stayed when they came to conduct monthly services up there, and that is where school teachers normally boarded. They were of course farmers, but they also ran a little general store across the road from the house. And Barbary was the Postmistress for many years with the  Tedders Post Office, located in the store. People invariably assume that the post office was named for Jack and Barbary Tedders, but Barbary once stated that her brother-in-law, John Tedders (or perhaps his wife, Nancy {Sasser} Tedders) had the post office for a short time before her, thus giving it its name. Tollie and Pearl(Taylor) Perry lived with Jack and Barbary for a few years after they married in 1938, and so it was in their house where Tollie's and Pearl's son, Glenn E. Perry, was born. Eventually, in 1950, Jack and Barbary sold the farm to Tollie and Pearl, and moved to Barbourville, but their connection with the place continued. There is where Jack died, and Barbary was back there most of the time in her old age.
