These are some of our favorite haunts (no pun intended) when we are ancestor hunting. Below you will find the location of the cemetery when available, lists of those stones with surname significance, and pictures of those stones we are proud to have in our ancestor collection.
Lenoxburg Cemetery
Lenoxburg - Foster Road                    
Bracken/Pendleton County Kentucky line
Started in 1874
This beautiful cemetery sits on a hill in Bracken Co. Kentucky. After driving over some gorgeous farm scenary, this cemetery and its bold ancient pine trees appears on the horizon. There are many people of German ancestry buried here. I have been told that is why so many pine's were planted. To remind them of home.
John and Nellie (Cox) Beyersdoerfer Jr.
John and Emma (Fleeman/Fleighmann) Beyerdoerfer. This is John Jr.'s Parents.
George and Margrett Beyersdoerfer and two of their children, Phillip and Michael
Jane (Allender) Mockbee - Her husband William Lanson Mockbee is buried in Indiana (A picture of his grave is seen farther down this page).
Lavega and Oleva Ellen (Mockbee) Cox. Oleva is Jane's daughter (seen above).
Cox Farm Cemetery #1
Concord-Caddo Rd.
Pendleton County Kentucky
This Cemetery is located on the old ancestral farm previosly owned by Barton and Clarisa (Hughbanks) Cox (see the Cox page). Someone had cleaned it up beautifully when we visited about eight years ago. Today one of our Cox cousins has made it a show stopper! Look for the carved wooden "Cox" over a new entry to the enclosed cemetery. Thanks cousin Leonard!

Cox Farm Cemetery #2
#10 (Washington Trace Road)
Pendleton Co. Kentucky
This cemetery is also located on a former Cox homestead. this farm belonged to Barton's father Samuel. As you can see from the photo, it is  virtually impossible to visit unless done so in the winter.
This is Samuel Cox and his wife Mary. There has been some debate as to who was Barton's mother, since Samuel married a couple of times. But we have always been told by Nellie Cox Beyersdoerfer that her great grandparents were buried here. So I tend to favor the old wise ones when verifying information. Nellie has never let us down yet..
Fisher Cemetery
#10 (Washington Trace Road)
Pendleton Co. Kentucky

This cemetery might have some fond memories for those Pendleton Co. people. It is located just down the road from the Old Fisher School and Church. Neither is is being used anymore, but I know of quite a few pupils who loved the little one room schoolhouse.
James Jackson and Mary (Stout) Allender. James died of small pox and was buried in the first cemetery the wagon came to.
This is a special stone to me. It belongs to Mary Malinda Mockbee, the daughter of William and Jane Allender Mockbee. This young girl died at the age of fourteen from Typhoid fever. We had always heard she was buried here, but could never find the stone. But this is a lesson in grave hunting technique. We visited again in the early spring, and just coming up on James and Mary Allender's graves were old Peonies. As I contemplated who might have planted them, I noticed a few feet away was another clump of peonies all by themselves. The idea hit me that there might be a reason for those peonies. So I went to the trunk of my car and got the old tire bolt remover (crosslike metal poles), and started banging the ground around the peonies. Lo and behold, Mary Malinda's stone was again uncovered. We found only a protion of the stone, but enough of it to make out the persons identity. Now we know for sure Mary Malinda was buried with her grandparents in the old Fisher Cemetery. You may not be able to see the stone anymore, I have not been back to see, but every year those peonies will come to tell of her brief existence.
Cemetery somewhere in Ohio...searching

This picture was given to us by a generous relative years ago. I have never been to this cemetery. I only know this is William Lanson Mockbee.
