This is part 2 of the video I posted yesterday.
In this video we visit yet another man and his three wives who are buried in this cemetery.
Tragically some of the false tombs appear to have been busted open. Fortunately they were the commonly seen false tombs and not true above ground burials.
(I often get asked on my YT channel whether these graves are actually above ground or not, and they are quite often false tombs. I have only seen one true above ground burial in my area - the Muscogee, Harris, Stewart County areas. I doubt that it was the only one around they just aren’t common here.)
Anyway, here we visit an early Marion County settler - Benajah Peacock. Interestingly noted is that this grave site used to be behind a home (as noted in the obituary I read) and today no trace remains of that home.
The inscription on Benajah Peacock’s tombstone reads:

My great great grandfather's name was Benijha. Pronounced BEN I JHA. Accent on the I. Ben I jha
@@debbieduncan655, so cool that you had a great-great-grandpa with the same name! Thank you for explaining the pronunciation.
Sweetie I must appoligse as I have misplaced the E-mail address you gave me to up load the Cemetery Pictures. I would So appricate it if you could send it again. I have bonus Cemetery Pictures of the Lost Family Cemetery that is across the road from where we use to live.
Cindy Scott, I just noticed that I spelled his name wrong 🤪. It's Benijah.
It's so wonderful to see another who likes to look around old cemeteries. You are respectful too. I too like to see who was alive so long ago. And my favorite headstones are the ones that are so detailed with that person's life. I personally find it calming to reflect on who lived before us. It helps me when life gets super crazy. Thank you for showing us these interesting graves!
My daughter's girl scout troop. would go out every Memorial day weekend and clean the grave stones, and gave all the veterans, of all wars, two flag's, one time we found a father, and daughter she was a nurse, and I want to say he a Captain in WW2, buried next to each other his said father, and her's said daughter, very somber but very rewarding for these girls, to see and read each grave marker, and to give the grave stones a good cleaning, with the proper equipment..
I admire what your doing and used to do some of this with my daughter and son in law. When I had my real knees. Lol I have a book I've inherited, printed in 1971, that was called History in Headstones. It only covers our County in Arkansas. The fake above ground crypts must be common for your area. A set of grandparents who died in the late 1800's has a huge double rock crypt even though they are 6 feet under. He was an early physician in the area. How can you get a Confederate marker in a private cemetery? He had an elaborate headstone that had been vandalized and repaired. It was in poor shape 15 years ago. He was surgeon general of the Choctaw Militia during the Civil war. He was only in Arkansas grieving his wife and got caught up in the mess. The charter burned in 1959 but we have a copy of where it was filed in Adair county Oklahoma. He also "Americianized" our very German name. In the same cemetery someone got the wild idea of replacing the fieldstones near the entrance to the cemetery where the slaves were buried. I remember them as having some names before. It's called the "Dripping Springs" cemetery in Crawford County. I'm a young retired pediatric RN with part of a Historic Interpretation degree. I can see the family doing this again after covid is over. I did share with my daughter and nearly 14 year old granddaughter. On the deaths, there's a video on UA-cam called the "Forgotten Epidemic". The epidemic was Tuberculosis. My great grandmother died from pulmonary TB in I think, in 1905. My paternal grandfather died in 1944 from miliary TB in his bones. Many of my paternal grandmother's nieces fought TB in the 30's. The cemetery my great grandparents are buried in is called the Liberty or Liberty Hill cemetery. The address is in Evansville Arkansas but it's located in Natural Dam. I have a family picture prior to my great grandmother's death. I can't recall the actual number of siblings she had but all survived except one sister who "caught her gown tail on fire " when she was 6. She was the first interned in the cemetery. Beautiful wrought iron fence, well maintained and continues to be used for burials.
What an awesome story.His wives were so young, which I know was common back then.Its too bad the graves are so damaged. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
Hi! Love your show! I'm originally from New Hampshire but have lived in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and now Ohio. Will move again next chance I get. BUT I wanted to tell you the true story of my Great Grandfather Pete up in New Hampshire. He was married 3 times and outlived all 3 wives! He married the first one and when she died he married her SISTER, when she died he married the other SISTER! You heard right! He married 3 sisters!! I guess when you find a good thing you stick with it!!!!! I'm trying to dig up some history on him. Thanks for your show and keep up the great work! I also have a fascination with cemeteries! Pat
Here's some additional info on his family line... the first two wives probably died in childbirth. The first wife had five children, the second only one and the last wife had six:
www.wikitree.com/wiki/Peacock-502
Excellent video! Loved how you were able to bring perspective to that era. Indeed ... multiple wives and marrying young girls was common place back then. The obituary reading was fantastic!
He seems to have become prosperous later - an attractant for younger women.
I will never understand the act of vandalism in places like this. What is the point?
Perhaps grave robbing. Or just plain vandalism. Or it could’ve been natural. But I think probably vandalism.
It’s the lack of self respect that people have now, it seems that most just think of themselves and their instant gratification. I know that back years ago parents taught their children to respect others but today both parents are working and the kids are in school or daycare or on their own and just don’t have that guidance. And of course years ago there was community activities that kids could join and enjoy themselves with, that seems to be lacking also. Everyone is so busy chasing that might dollar that they don’t have time to be a family and teach their children right from wrong and they themselves may not have had that guidance. There are and always have been bad apples, Black Sheep of some families.
There is a special place in hell for people who break into graves , karma will punish them 10 fold.
Well it's an awful thing to do. Disrespectful, disgusting and cruel to the loved ones whom are still alive. Most of the time this happens because those who are buried as bodied and not ashes are buried with their most precious jewellery and fine expensive clothes, and this is seen as a good mine for those who are perhaps desperate for money for God knows what, and we'll I suppose you can work out what the point is for this disgraceful act of vandalism.
Most of the jewelry is removed and given to the family not buried with them.
Montana has some great old cemeteries. I always enjoy exploring them. Thank you, I enjoyed this video.
It's all just a moment in their lives. Thank you for this adventure
Its lovely to walk round when its so peaceful. Such a lovely sunny day. Will you be going back to this one ? It does make a beautiful difference when the grass iz kept. So sad that those 2 grave tops were bashed. Im just so pleased that the bodies were buried underground. 🌳💚💚🌳
I've been in the building trade for let's just say many decades. You have a iron fence surrounding masonary graves. Lightning is very destructive to masonary things like that. I've had to repair so many old chimneys over the years. Just think about the iron fence attracts.
STUBS 1 That is a very good point! I never thought of lightening!
Beautifully told, thanks. A reminder that each generation had their own stories and lived their lives as best they could through the challenges, joys, tears, courage and survival.
I've just started watching your videos & fine them fascinating. It's like having a history lesson. I love the respect you show to those that lay in their resting place. I find it sad that they are not looked after by a governing body of some sort. I do know that to restore oldgraves there is a great deal of red tape. I'm Australian & my ancestors are buried in the old Lillydale cementry in Victoria. My uncle inquired to the governing trust. The cost & red tape to go through was just too expensive. Cheers Lyn🇦🇺🐨🦘👍
Another good video. This graveyard liked like it was kept up well. Thanks for taking us along. His obituary was a history lesson in it's self.
Thanks Robert & Cody, Mr Peacock sounded like he was a fun gentleman to know. Thank you for sharing. x
Another great video by my number one favourite youtuber cant wait for more. I never stop watching your videos because you are awesome
Makes me angry to see destroyed graves, so very disrespectful and unessesary. Mr. Peacock certainly liked the young ladies. Interesting place, Thank you, Robert.
Thank you for sharing, please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends the history of this family is something, 👍✝️
Another fascinating walk back in history! Love your adventures!
I absolutely love your videos. I look for you everyday.
I love your videos! You make it a history lesson. Thank you for you and friends do!
That was really interesting , thank you for taking us along x
I'm from North Carolina and live in the neighboring Co of Wayne. Great video👍
Folks passed so young; women often during childbirth.
His second wife Elizabeth had a baby in 1844 and died the same year as did the baby. I wonder if she and the baby died in childbirth and the baby was buried with her as on find a grave it says they didn't know where the infant was buried.
In our area of Arkansas I believe Tuberculosis was a big killer. In children, often diarrhea and dehydration. My grandmother called it the summer complaint.
scooterbobo That’s definitely a possibility!
Very good video what a shame that young boy 7 years and 10 months old I would love to clean all that off it impossible task miles and miles away in the UK Thanks for the video Take care
aww that's so sweet
But you can find hungry, homeless peipers around you that you can wipe off their noses?
I live in California and find the dates of the cemeteries so interesting. Thanks
What a great and interesting video Robert! Thank You Kindly! And to have and read Mr. Peacock's obit made it even more special. When my Dad was in the Air Force years ago, we lived near Newport News, Va. As a kid I remember visiting old cemeteries with the above ground crypts. Some were brick I recall with marble tops. Several had holes in the corners and I looked in with fascination. Would I see bones, I thought? My Mom informed me that the people were well under ground with their stones on top. It was at an old 18th century brick church and we were there because of its historical significance during the Revolution! But what a great memory as a small kid. But what some people do to graves is truly terrible! But there are some dark minded people but not many. Too bad cemeteries couldn't have motion detector cameras to catch the vandals! Can you imagine seeing your Grandparents or Parents graves destroyed? Your video are full of respect and honor for those who have gone before us and I Thank You Kindly! Love, Light,Peace, Joy and Abundance! DaveyJO in Pa.
That was so interesting - thank you for sharing it, and giving so much information. So sad to see the vandalism.
Great video! Thank you for bringing the history of these people to life. You do a great job, thank you and Cody for your efforts!💛😊🌼
In the 1840's it was well over 100 years before anti-biotics. Folks would get a cold or flu and it would turn into pneumonia or worse really quick. It was not unusual for a strong guy to outlive multiple wives.
So interesting!,such a shame about the crypts always makes a little sad to see that happen.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
That was interesting to see thanks for sharing and for going the extra miles to get the information about this man and his family
Very interesting. Thankyou and God bless you.♥️
Mr Peacock lived a long life for those times. Wonder how many children he had between the 3 marriages?
Some one said 11
My grandmother was an old maid when she married in 1919. My dad was 36 with I was born so I didn't grow up with paternal cousins, many considerably older.
I love watching your videos. I just wish they were longer. 🥰
I find old cemeteries interesting and explore them if I come across them. I am a big history buff. I live in California and there are not as many small old cemeteries here compared to the east coast, especially since people did not start moving here until 1850 after the gold rush. My great Grandfather, Albert J. Cray of Lime Springs, Iowa had three wives. He lived to 96 years of age and out lived all of them. He was born in 1864 and died in 1960. His first wife died in 1896. The one small cemetery a few miles from where I live, called the "Madronia cemetery" hidden away in the wooded foothills of Saratoga, CA is interesting because John Brown's wife is buried there. He is from the Harper's Ferry raid fame. After he was executed by hanging, his wife and kids headed to California to escape the hostilities from the pro-slavery factions her family faced in the east because of what her husband did. Saratoga was a lumber town at that time, redwood timber being cut in the Santa Cruz mountains and brought down by wagons to the mills in Saratoga. Since it was a rural and rough town to live in for someone her age, she moved to San Francisco and lived there for the rest of her life, but was buried in Saratoga after she died in 1884.
Nothing lasts forever even the headstones.
thank you for sharing that you do a wonderful job always Peace Out
Three wives = three lives! He liked them young for sure. Something strikes me as odd here.
Struck me as odd as well.
Pedos have been around for a long time.
@@jaybeeshultz yes, very true. Not disrespectful, true. The ages of his wives proves it. Get over your prude.
A young wife was more likely to provide children. She would also be better able to endure the rigors of housekeeping.
@@kimkearney5419 not pedo....back in times getting married very young was very common and natural...and even still today we can see single teenagers pregnants and not even married.
Love the video and Cemetery
Love the history of these old cemeteries
Very well documented and narrated video’s.
Up here in New Jersey we have a cemetery containing a grave for a man with the last name of Peacock, who died during an explosion while making gun powder for General George Washington.
It's funny no one mentioned the 5 minutes of black screen at the end. Anyway, great explore. Thanks.
I am new to your channel and am enjoying your videos so much. Thank you for the interesting history ! You are so caring and kind in your explores. Thank you for the great content. God Bless and keep you safe.
So sad for him to lose all three wives so young and a child. People fell to diseases all too easily back then. I certainly would have lost my mind living back in those times. So many lost children and spouses way too early. Wow
Odd two die so young and he married none over 18....perhaps he was hard on his wives! Generally speaking, the most "honored" are often they biggest abusers, physically and sexually and there was never a mentioning of a new infant being buried at the same time the women died perhaps during child birth. However, to be fair! It was written in the obituary that he was a brave pioneer who arrived and settled in Indian country, so they would be totally isolated and easily could have died of injuries or diseases. ! What heroic Americans they were just to be brave enough to chose this kind of life! We forget while we are inconvenienced during this COVID virus crisis.
Ellen, same here. I could not bear losing one child, not to mention two or three, which was all-too common back then. My mind pictures the little one sick (for who knows how long) or even possibly injured (wild animal attack, farm machinery accident). I would have lost my mind, too! As a mom and now a grandma I'm super protective as it is. Me back then -- I'd be a wreck!
Love you guys 💞. Be safe in your travels
woah thats crazy!! what a cool video.. def i will HIT THUMBS UP
The cemetery looks beautiful.
Beautiful place.
The stones do tell a story.
I'm going to look into this more my ancestors were Prices'. Hope you return to and show more graves from here
Thank you for that, it was so good. Such a shame about the damage can’t understand why anyone would do that. Do stay safe
Fantastic-- even if they are not our ancestors, their history is our history. Time marches on, but It's good to know of our collective ancestors. From the children's graves you have seen, we know times were far tougher then than what we face now. I salute the pioneers of Georgia.
Firestone cemetary Akron ohio man with 13 wives all buried in his tomb.he was 79 all his wives were under 20
He probably killed at least one of those wives. I know it wasn't unusual for women to die in childbirth etc But, he only married teenagers no matter how old he was. He hardly took a breath between one dying and marrying the next one. By the time he was 30 he probably figured he needed to find one to keep because he wasn't getting any younger. just a feeling.....
No it was common back in the day because women were considered old maids by the time they were 20, so women would try to get married off really young. Also he was probably a farmer and they had to have a wife to take care of any children and the house so if your wife died you went and got another one.
My great grandmother married my great grandfather when she was 15 and he was 32, her father had died in a plowing accident and her mother could not hold the land they owned. So her mother went and found husbands for her 2 daughters so they would be taken care of, and she went and married someone else herself. She chose my great grandfather because he had a well-established farm and could take care of her. When My great grandmother married him, she had to take care of the house and his 5 kids, she had 3 kids of her own with him but he had been married 4 other times before her. Apparently, he was married at the age of 18 to a 14-year-old girl first, but when Great grandmother married him his wife before had only been dead for half a week.
I was told he died at age 51 from some sickness, she was 32 and pretty much didn't have a clue what the hell to do so she became a cook for another family because thats all she knew how to do.
Now it stuck in my head "3 blind mice",instead of the man with 3 wives,lol RIP BUT IT IS AMAZING HISTORY
Oh wow, I’m a Wiggins, wonder if there is a connection with the pastor! Love watching your videos , keep up the good work! Wished someone would find my gggrandmothers cemetery
Geez 3 wives under 20 and he lived to 84? Probably a patient man as well!
I enjoy your adventures and the history behind these graves and the history around that time they were alive and seeing the resting places This cemetery looks nice. Mr peacock and 3 wifes and his children. Shame about the smashed ones . X
The way you cleared off the boys grave 7 years 10 months the stone and dust made it look like his body.
It was not unusual for a man of means to marry and re marry often if a wife passed. If he had children, he needed someone to raise them. If he had no children especially a son, he need one to pass on his estate as women did not have any powers. Since he passed at his daughters home, then he may have been seeking a son. But truly only the family will know that. I get the impression he was not a mean man with having his wedded history put on his stone for all the world to see.
Another great one
My first impression of this video was that we might be looking at a polygamist. Not sure if your investigation would indicate he really only had 1 wife at a time. Good series.
Those were my exact thoughts!
He kept marrying young girls as he got older and how many lived past childbirth age? How many children were born by him total?
It was a hard time to have children and yes, those wives were young but that was the custom back then. His last wife out lived him by five years and they were together for forty years so it’s not like he only married to knock them off. My guess the first wife was his first love and died while giving birth and then he married so his child had a mother and that wife tragically died. I counted three children in that post and one was an infant and one was five or six years old. That man had a very hard life by the sounds of it and let’s hope he is resting in peace.
Sad so many children died during that time
"pimpin'ain't easy"~Benajah Peacock.
Thanks for showing us all those old graves , it’s our history. Just wanted to know isn’t there anything that you can use to make it easier to read the engraving? Thanks
It’s odd watching this during a pandemic knowing that many people died back in those days from pandemics. It’s scary now. I can’t imagine how scary it was for them then.
Lisa CJ Ikr! Never thought this could happen in this day in age!
Nice story on his tombstone his ages etc when married three times
Beautyfull vídeo....SHAVUAH tov for alls peoples AROUND the WORLD...
So sad, but a lot of women back then, died during childbirth.
Pamela Keller yes they did. Very common and they usually chose young wives so that they would have a better chance of surviving childbirth and having the energy to take care of the young children. Still so sad he probably had a lot of hurt in his heart
And Tuberculosis and cholera and typhoid. Also a simple infection gone septic, no antibiotics. So many ways to die early back then, very sad. The people that survived sure endured a lot of heartache.
Hey I heard they're going to open up the South States please Robert you and your family be well
Hopefully, there will a protest against that and everyone continues to stay home.
?
Death approached on swift and silent wings back then. One morning was a kiss on a warm cheek of the beloved, by next day a warm kiss on the cold cheek of the dear one. This was the way of things.
When we lived in Ala during the 80's we visited a cemetery with a man that was buried with 3 wives in a row beside him. Not sure where the cemetery was.
Benajah: accent on the middle 'a' - Ben NAH jah, according to howtopronounce.com
I don't get why people have to mess with and destroy the final resting place of people. They still do it today. I remember after me mom passed, it was like 11pm and I was visiting my mom's grave, had a huge fight with the hubby and just needed to feel close to her. Her grave was just off a main road so a cop stopped and asked if I was ok. I explained why I was there. He said don't stick around to long and told me people have been smashing tombstones around here. That made me want to set up a mini cam in a nearby tree. That's so sad.
Funny they didn't mention any of his 3 wives or his children other then his daughter ! Lots of times woman or sister married the widowerI wonder.if that'd the case w/the ,2nd wife ? Thanks again loved it your the best 💓🇺🇸🙏😇🕊️✝️🌹
Pretty humbling to see what is left of us when we pass away. Everything passes, we are but a speck of time on this earth.
We are dust
Funny thing how he outlived his 3 wives. Nothing wrong having his wives buried in the same cemetery. The concrete is old and has broken up because of the years passed through all this time. Just no one taking care of the cemetery or their own family either. Back in those days women married young. Nothing new about that. The cemetery is over 200 hundred years old. It's awesome to go look at the tombstones from years ago. Cemeteries are so calming
Are these added to find a grave sites?
he sure liked teenagers didn't he
I knew a man that was married 6 times- when he passes they will have to use smaller font! Hahaha!
hi cute rob whats up miss u sweet wild frined hope 2 see u soon in maine
How many times do you ever clean the graveyards are the graves of the sites that you visit it looks like it would be very easyto do a very little to mean a lot these people need to be respected and not forgotten but keep up the greatif it wasn't for you I don't think anyone would remember these people which is very sad to think thanks Robert
Interesting 🧐.
There is a man and his five wives buried in a cemetery in Bloomfield HIlls, Michigan on Middlebelt Rd. He outlived all of them. I think it I was one of the perspective later wives I'd have passed on taking him.
That's horrible 😭 that anyone would be so cruel
My grandfather had 4 wives. First wife died in childbirth minutes following my mother's birth. 2nd died from an aneurysm. 3rd, I'm not sure and his 4th out lived him. Some men can't live alone and need companionship. Thats what he had with his last 2 marriages as he was much older with those 2 marriages. Had 4 children with first wife, 3 with the second.
i came from a wayne co and live in a mairon co lol.
Peacock was obviously very wealthy..
Quite a bit of history there. May his 'ashes' rest in peace?
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
why break a tomb open false or not? i just dont get it.
Most don't know it's a false crypt. They're expecting to see a coffin and body.
Who did you find the obituary?
It was quite common for men to marry very young women. It seems that at least one of them may have died in childbirth. Both my grand mother’s married very young to somewhat older men. So sad for him, however he persevered and must have been a hearty fellow.
The first two wives died from eating poison mushrooms. The third wife died of head trauma, she refused to eat the poison mushrooms.
Many young women in the south married at an early age 14-19 or 20. I had an ancestor who waited until about age 25 to marry. Her marriage record referred to her as "spinster."
