Jones Cemetery (Summerville Road)
Located behind a house between Oakleaf Drive and Summerville Road. There is nothing left of this cemetery. An old transcription found at the Kingsport Library provided a list of names from the Jones family Bible of those interred there. In the 1970s there were two marked graves and the rest were fieldstones. I was told that by 1977, the tombstones and fieldstones had all been removed. The information given below was given to me by a Jones family researcher.
NOTE – ONLY ONE TOMBSTONE FROM THIS CEMETERY HAS BEEN RECOVERED.

Thank You for posting the cemetery records!
Do you know if these Jones’ are related to the Jones’ in the Jones Cemetery infront of Wal Mart on Main Street? I am going to go take pictures in that cemetery on Sunday. It would be wonderful if we could join the two lines of Jones. I just decided to go and find out about the small cemetery since not many people know about it. I got permission from the owner to go in and take pictures, clean up and debris and possibly clean the stones with water and a very soft brush to give them back their beauty.
I’m trying to find the grave of old Thomas Jones and his wife Susanna Ramsey Jones.
