Cemetery book is really great, mostly we research Caldwell Co., but also had a lot of ancestors in Crittenden. The book has a lot of extra genealogy in it and I even found my g-g grandmother Saluda Corley Bruff's Obit included in the book, she died in 1909, they have done a great job.

Hi List, Searching for BELL, SCOTT , BEAN of these descendants listed in this email. Robert Scott Bell was born in Caldwell County KY 1805 His parents were James Bell & his wife Mary Bean-Bell. They left about 1830 for Monroe county AR. If you will go to this site you may view Robert Scott Bell's picture. Mary Robert S. Bells' mother had a relative who was named Robert Scott & him and Robert Scott Bell were very close & they served in the 1812 war together. Looking for BELL, SCOTT & BEAN who are related to this Robert Scott Bell & his father James Bell who were in Caldwell County between 1798 & 1830. I believe Mary Bell's mother had the maiden name of SCOTT, all of Caldwell County KY. http:///www.rootsweb.com/~okbits/introduction.html Robert Scott served in the county court as a clerk in Caldwell CTY KY. When Robert Scott Bell went to AR he served in Monroe county as a clerk in the courts, a judge & lawyer. No doubt this Robert Scott had a great influence on his life. Thanks, Vicki Bell-Reynolds [email protected]

Hi All, Does any one have any information they can share about directions here? I have a Lyon County Cemetery book that gives directions to the cemeteries. If anyone has reference material that might include directions to the Crittenden County Deer Creek Church/Cemetery could you please share that? I have someone looking for information on how to get to the cemetery. I welcome your replies back to the list as others may be interested. thanks, Vicki Brenda Joyce Jerome shared the following and more about Crittenden Churches at the Crittenden County Homepage: http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/Crittenden_Co_Churches.html DEER CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH The first building was erected in 1823. The present building was built in 1882. The old church minutes are still in existence. This church is still active. Cemetery adjoining has many old tombstones. -------- Also, found this page which gives some information about the church. Nice contribution of information, giving the names of the fourteen people who started the church, founded 16 May 1823. http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices/K/KYCRITTE+2000+3658229+F And, while on the subject of a Crittenden County Cemetery you may want to check this service out.
