Notes:
Starkie Thomas Cemetery
-- Cadiz, Trigg, Kentucky
~ The Starkie Thomas cemetery was established in 1825 and the earliest burials are thought to have been enslaved African-Americans owned by Starkie or his brothers. The first Thomas family members interred at the site were Starkie and Mary (Bridges) Thomas’s daughters Adeline (7 years old) in June 1838, and Peachie (6 months old) in August 1838. Generations of Starkie and Mary’s descendants have been and continue to be laid to rest at this site.

A large area within the cemetery includes an undetermined number of unmarked graves of African American slaves and their descendants. Two small modern markers designate the plot as that of “Thomas Slaves”. Family lore suggests that descendants of Thomas slaves continued to bury their dead at the cemetery for several generations following emancipation
