Henry W. Jones came at an early age and settled in the north part of Limestone township. From him, or members of his family, we have then name of Jones' Prairie and Jone's Spring, situated on and along the Farmington Road. James Crowe also came about the same time as Jones, but on account of Indiana troubles in 1832, he went back to his home in Ohio, but returned in 1834 and settled in the north part of the township. |
June 10, 1837, Henry Jones laid out a town plat on the southwest quarter of section 3, and the southeast corner of section 4, which he called Summerville. It was located on what is not the Farmington road, just north of the county farm.

The land were the Jones Family Cemetery is located was first owned by Henry W. Jones,1849. In 1932 the granddaughter of Henry, Malinda Kershaw, sold what remained of the Jones' land. However, the sale did not include the approximate one acre piece of land that was used for the family bury ground and driveway in to it.
This private cemetery was once enclosed by an iron fence and cedar trees once shaded this sacred ground.
