Clark Cemetery, 65-2 Summary Report, page 14
Nothing was found to mention where James Clark was buried, and his will did not specify a burial site either. However, there may be a clue to his burial site being possibly in Morgan County from his estate final settlement papers. One of the items (8th expense line from the top) in those papers shows an entry for “ferriage” (ferry fee) to Triana - no doubt for ferry service of something such as his body and coffin. The fee was 12-1/2 cents, indicating a one-way charge.
If that was in fact to carry his body over the river, then it implies that he is buried south of the Tennessee River, most likely in Morgan County. However, a check of the Morgan County cemetery books failed to find an entry for him.
