son of Thomas Joel Roy and Margaret Ann Meadows; husband of Mary "Polly" Van Hook married 18 Oct 1811 Pulaski County, Kentucky
supposed to be buried at Old Fishing Creek Cemetery, Oil Center, Kentucky; not sure where this is....does anyone know?
received this in an email from a fellow findagraver,
have placed Roy in the Fishing Creek Baptist Church Cemetery
However, back in 1949 this cemetery along with many others were affected by the future Lake Cumberland (1251 miles of shoreline) in south central Ky. Right cemetery, wrong era. The old location was in fact in a community known as the Oil Center. It had a thriving community with it's own post office etc. In late 1949 graves in this cemetery were relocated to about 4 or 5 other existing cemeteries. Only six were moved to the new Fishing Baptist Church location. Most of the moves were withing about 5 miles.
