Reverend Martin Utterback was married to Hannah WILLIAMS about 1788 in Culpeper, VA. She is also buried in this cemetery. To this union were born at least 8 children: Mary (abt. 1789), Jacob (abt. 1792), Benjamin (abt. 1793), Nancy (abt. 1794), Thomas (1795), Elijah (abt. 1797), Anna (abt. 1798) and Lidia (Abt. 1800).
Excerpts taken from Harold McClure and Timothy McCord at Ancestry.com websites:
"Martin Utterback was raised up to the ministry, in Salem Association. He was a native of Virginia and was born about the year 1770. In early youth, he came, perhaps with his parents, to Woodford county, Kentucky, and settled on Clear Creek. He received a fair education, for that time. During an extensive revival, which prevailed in his
neighborhood, under the ministry of John Taylor, in 1789, he, with 163 others, professed conversion, and was baptized, by that famous old pioneer, into the fellowship of Clear Creek church. After some years, he moved to Hardin county, and united with Bethel church. Here he was ordained to the ministry, about 1807. For several years, he traveled
and preached much with Warren Cash. He was by no means a brilliant preacher. But he possessed good, strong common sense, was sound in faith, and was a good expositor of the Scriptures. His plain, pious discourses were enjoyed by believers, and he did much good, in strengthening the young churches, in the frontier settlements. In 1811, he preached the introductory sermon before Salem Association. He also wrote one of the earliest and best circular letters, published by that body.
In 1818, he moved to Grayson county, and took the pastoral care of Rock Creek church. He also succeeded Enos Keith in the pastoral office at Concord. After laboring a number of years in this region, he moved to Richland county, Illinois, where he died at a good old age, and doubtless received the reward of the righteous.
