Sextons Creek river in Clay County in the U.S. state of Kentucky is a tributary of the South Fork of Kentucky River in neighbouring Owsley County, Kentucky.
It was named for a Sexton family of settlers who arrived some time before 1815.
Tributaries and post offices
The Bray Creek tributary used to be considered Sextons Creek proper, and what is now the main Sextons Creek used to be named its Right Fork.
The eponymous postoffice was originally named Section Creek in error when established by postmaster Henry Clark on 1828-05-24.
This was rectified on 1843-03-15.
