James B. Parker operated a sore at Cauleysville, on the old Three Notch Road, in the 1830's. This store was in the vacinity of the Bill Butler place on the Rose Hill-Burnout Road. In this store was the old Cauleysville post office, established in 1839. Listed are some of the customers names who had accounts appearing in the records of James B. Parker's store in Cauleysville. These are among the pioneer settlers of Covington County, many of whom have decendents living today in this county.
