HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

There is an old cemetery in the garden which is very interesting.  There are a 
number of old grave markers dating back to 1773.  Only one has a legible 
inscription, as follows:

To the memory of
Samuel Jones
Who was born and who lived and died in Buckingham County, this stone, the 
offering of a brother in greatest affection, is errected.  His industry, economy 
and sound judgment gave him fortune.  His wealth of heart and promptness to do 
good and communicate gave him friends.  His love of truth and justice, and the 
practice of both secured to him respect of the community.
Born A.D. 1773
