Posted on: Boone Co. Ar Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Boone/10927 Surname: ACUFF, ROGERS ------------------------- My Purity D. Rogers b. 1832-1834 Carroll Co. TN married Silas Acuff in Boone Co. AR. Purity was the daughter of Basil Rogers b. 1794 NC and wife Rebecca Rogers b. 1790 NC. Purity Drucilla Rogers, her brothers, Green D. Berry Rogers ( my G. Grandfather ), James Franklin Rogers, Basil Jasper Rogers and perhaps their other sister, Nancy Martin Rogers Fields, all moved to Boone Co. AR in the 1870's. Purity D. Rogers and Silas Acuff had children that may have included Nicholas Mulkey Acuff. I have very little information on the Acuff's except for a genealogy I found today with Nicholas Mulkey Acuff listed being born 1856 who perhaps has a wrong death date of 1877. Anyone wish to exchange Acuff family information for Rogers information contact me at e-mail listed below. Tina Rogers Beller e-mail: jkpb3@bellsouth.net

Unfortunately, neither of the funeral homes has an e-mail addy known to me, However, their addresses have been posted on the Boone County web site for many moons for the convenience of those needing them.

This information everyone is passing around is very helpful. I would like to contact Mr. McElroy just for the heck of it. Right next to Elizabeth VanZant and her children is a lot of empty space. I fell very sure after reading the other responses that Jacob is more than likely buried there also. Thank you Judy VanZant

This is a very interesting discussion to me. It is my understanding, and please correct me if I am wrong, that my Great Grandfather, James Jamison MCELROY, gave the land for this Cemetery. About 25 years ago we found his grave there with the help of a very kind gentleman, a Mr. McElroy. We stopped at a little grocery store and asked directions to the cemetery and as it turned out, his name was McElroy also. I understand James' wife, Margaret Saphronia WEAVER McElroy, is buried by the side of him in an unmarked grave. We were there 2-3 years ago and the stone is so much older, you can barely make out the correct one. There are also some children buried nearby that are the children of James Horace McElroy and wife, Louisa RUBLE McElroy. This Uncle Horace is the son of James Jamison and a brother to my grandfather, Jacob Silas McElroy. A child of Jacob and Sarah Elizabeth YORK McElroy, Addie, is also buried at Bellefonte Cemetery. And some children of a brother of Elizabeth, Thomas Edgar YORK, has children buried there. Hope this may be helpful. Dortha McElroy Greenlee

To those of you asking about a phone number for the cemetery - there is rarely a phone number for an older cemetery. Normally, the best you can hope for is that one of the funeral homes can tell you who the caretaker is. In the case of Bellefonte Cemetery there is a person who just MIGHT have the older records and, as I told Judy, I will try to get that name for you ASAP. Other than that the only other suggestion I can make is to contact the local funeral homes - Holt or Christeson - and ask them to check their records. People were and still are being buried with no headstone ever being placed so one has to keep that in mind, also. Marie List mom Rlvjkv@aol.com wrote: > > I am having the same trouble as Marsha.

I am having the same trouble as Marsha. I went to this cemetery last week end. I am trying to find out where Jacob VanZant was buried. His wife is there along with two daughters that never married and one daughter and son in-law. You would think he would be there somewhere also. I thought that maybe it might be in very old records somewhere. Thanks Judy

I will be in that area in about two weeks and would like to be able to check original records to see if my great grandfather. William Franklin WATSON, is buried there. According to family tradition that is where he is supposed to be buried there but there is no headstone that can be found. Does anyone out there know where to find these records? I certain would appreciate knowing also. Marsha Gurr Ocoee, Florida

Does anyone know who I would contact to find original records for the Bellefonte cemetery? Thank you Judy VanZant
