Allen-Carper Cemetery 1791 – 1960
The Allen-Carper Cemetery is located on Route 43 approximately 2.5 road miles east of Eagle Rock, and is restored by community effort.
There are at least 100 unidentified gravesites. In the 1950s Emily Honts, dec., visited this cemetery with Nettie Carper Deisher, a great-great-great-granddaughter of Malcolm Allen and she pointed out where he was buried along with his wife Mary.
Malcolm Allen settled in the area in 1754 when Botetourt County was still Augusta County. His home was built in 1762 to the right of the Cemetery.
