Photos of her gravestones & lot - added by Jake Dog - are posted with

D.Cert. 5796 (Suffolk #84) also gives her mother as Zebonia; the informant 
   was her daughter-in-law, ["Ollie" (LIVERMAN);] Mrs. Willis RIDDICK.

Walter, age 9, & "Georgeanna," 6, appeared in the 1870 Census in an orphan 
   asylum on Bute St. in Norfolk.  Georgia, 16, appeared there in the 1880 
   Census. 

Their mother may be identical with the Zenobia JONES who appeared in the 
   1850 Census in Petersburg, age 17.
