Whitby Family Cemetery

|
| This very large cemetery is located down a logging path, more than 1 mi. south of Huckstep Rd. (Route 663) and approx. 300 yd. west of a home with the address of 3203 Huckstep Rd. The timber company has left standing approx. 1 acre of large trees where the cemetery is. There are at least 25 more graves here as evidenced by fieldstones and depressions, and probably many more. |

To the left of the next grave of Tom Jones is a grave with no stone enclosed with 4 old mostly rotten cedar posts with woven wire (farm type) fencing. This enclosure is approx. 5 ft x 10 ft. |
|
It is stated by an elderly family member that this is the grave of Sophronia Jones, who was Tom Jones' mother. |

There is something inscribed across the top, but cannot be read.
