NOTE: Moses Kuykendall was the husband ofElizabeth Betsey Sparks, Daniel's sister. It would seem thatElizabeth's and Daniel's families migrated together or shortly aftereach other to Jefferson County, Kentucky before 1782, because by 1782,Moses had a station built on Harrod's Creek by then.

His first marriageprobably took place about 1785 in Jefferson County, but no record ofit has been found. Apparently two children were born to thismarriage, a son, Samuel Ketchum Sparks, and a daughter Rebecca Sparks. Daniel's wife may have died when their daughter was born.

Rebecca was born on March25, 1788."
