All, The cemetery being referred to as near Little Flock is probably the Stokes-Nelson cemetery. It is south of Little Flock about .8 mile. The road has been changed from Quail Trail to Bob White. Specific directions: from SH 53, half mile south on Little Flock Road, then .7 mile south on Bob White, in a field, under some trees. About a half mile east of Bob White. On a good day you can see the outline of a Texas Historical Marker from Bob White. It has not been plowed under, but is rarely cleaned so is difficult to get around in. The historical marker says " Standing as a reminder of Bell County's pioneer heritage, this small family cemetery is representative of many similar graveyards in Texas. Peter and Mary Isabella Stokes came to this area from Virginia in the late 1850s, along with their children and Mrs. Stoke's parents, Nathaniel Bacon and Mary Speed Nelson. This family graveyard was begun on the Stokes farm in 1858 with the burial of a relative, Robert Venable. Among the ten graves here are those of Peter and mary Stokes and N.B. and Mary Nelson. The cemetery was restored in the 1980s." The marker was placed in 1989. A plaque below the marker says "John Champion Chapter N S C D X V I I C 1990 Nelson-Stokes Cemetery restored by descendant Mary Fay Martin Pundt and J. Halley Pundt." [I don't know the meaning of the initials]. We have not cataloged this cemetery so can't tell you who else is buried there. The reference to a cemetery that has been plowed under may be to one of two in Bell County of which we are aware. Embree Cemetery [also known as Rock Church] was about 4 miles NE of Belton on Riverside Rd. It had about 5 graves. It was destroyed in the 1950s according to "The Story of Bell County." We have been to the site and, indeed, there is no current hard evidence of a cemetery. The other was the McKnight Cemetery east of Bartlett. It had about 3 graves. The Story of Bell County says it was "plowed up and the gravestones stacked." We have not visited this site.
