There was a box-type tomb here on the north side of Washing Layfayett Perkins memorial, but the top cover which carries the inscription was missing and there was no way of identifying it. 4750/4760
One grave sink was noticed indicating an unmarked grave by Dorothy Johnson in 1978. I think it has now been filled in.

JONES, MARY, Mary, wife of Anthony Jones, cir 1812 - 3 Jun 1865, aged 53 years. 4774/4773*
In Memory of Mary, wife of Anthony Jones, died June 3, 1865, aged 53 years.

*This stone is broken and lying on the ground but it is protected by a black wrought iron fence like the one surrounding the Perkins Cemetery. The University is responsible for placing the fences around the cemeteries on the campus.  - I did not enter the day care play ground to inspect this stone because the day care was closed and the playground chain link fence was locked, so the photos are from a distance. Nothing is more important than keeping the children safe, so I delay this task to another day.

The census of Oct. 29, 1850 shows the following Jones living on the farm adjacent to Alexander Perkins, above:
Jones, Alex. P. (50) Va., farmer - $46,000.
No doubt this is the same Jones family as that of Mary and Anthony Jones.
