The Rucker Cemetery is located on the property now associated with the Hoffman/Gentry families, and home to the Hoffman Round Barn. The Hoffman Round Barn, 4864 Wolftown-Hood Road, Wolftown, Virginia, was built in 1913 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.


From the Hoffman Round Barn application to the National Register of Historic Places: "A family cemetery with graves from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries is located directly east of the farmhouse approximately forty feet behind the dwelling's rear wall. Surrounded by mature boxwoods are at least seven fieldstone grave markers, and two dressed-stone markers of Blakey family graves. The earliest legible gravestone is dated 1781. Just to the north of the boxwoods is the grave of Captain Angus Rucker, Revolutionary War soldier and grandson of John Rucker, the original land grantee. Also to the north of the boxwoods is the grave of "Little Kate", 1852. Just to the south of the boxwoods are two graves of the Hoffman family."
