Conway County, Arkansas, Courthouse marriage records...4. It has been accepted by some that Amos is buried in the northern section of Griffin Township Conway County, Arkansas, around what later became known as "Robertsville", located in Townshp 9N - Range 17W - Section 34. However, on 10 Sep 2005 this writer had the opportunity to go to the old home place [120 acres] in TOWNSHIP 8N * RANGE 17W - Section 10 & 15 where a cemetery is located with approximately 200 gravestones that are still standing {sandstone}. Even though his marker was not found there it would only be fitting that he had been buried there. It is interesting that this property is only about 2-3 miles SW of the Robertsville Cemetery located on Hiway 124 South from Jerusalem. It should be noted that there are at least five other cemeteries within a five mile radius of there too.
