Another descendant of William Roark has a family tree here.

Mentions Roark place and Cypress Creek in a family tree.

More abstracts of early Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, deeds; Cypress Creek** mentioned more than once (also here). **Referred to as Little Cypress Creek on map; believe Little Cypress is a tributary to Cypress Creek.

Reference to Cypress Creek in the Combs & Families site; the Combs family has a relationship to the Roarks/Evans family.

There's also a Roark connection to the Ingram family where Cypress Creek references are listed here.
