The Woodcock Cemetery is located several miles North of the junction of the White River and the Buffalo River in Marion County, Section 36, Township 7 North, Range 14 West, now in the Buffalo National River Park and has no road access. A Post Office was established here named Rock Fish on the 5th of Aug 1858, Henry Woodcock was the postmaster. Henry Woodcock was from Virginia and married Catherine "Kitty" Simmons in Sumner County, Tennessee and together they had 11 children there. The 10th child, Martha Ann Woodcock (1843 - 1843), and Kitty (1809-1845) passed away in Sumner County, Tennessee and are buried there. Henry traveled to Kentucky and married Deborah Minnick. They had two daughters, Sarah Susan, and Mary Jane Woodcock born there. Henry and Deborah then moved with their 12 children to Buffalo, Marion County, Arkansas and built a one room cabin, pictured here. The cemetery is located on these grounds behind the cabin. They had 6 more children born here. The cabin has since burned and only unmarked stones mark the graves of Henry, his wife, Deborah, and 7 of Henry's children. There are 2 cemeteries on this property, one of the Woodcock family and one of soldiers killed in a skirmish during the civil war. Two of their sons, Joel N Woodcock and Marcus M Woodcock, also civil war soldiers from Company H, 27th Arkansas Infantry, are buried in the family plot.
