Mrs. Ann Timson Jones

Here lies all that the grave can claim of Mrs. Ann Timson Jones. Consort of the Rev. Scervant Jones. Born 1st Sept. 1787, Married 26 Dec. 1805. Baptised 3 Mar. 1822. Died June 6, 1849.

If woman, ever yet did well; If woman, ever did excell; If woman, husband ere adored; If woman, ever loved the Lord; If ever faith and hope and love; In Human Flesh did live and move; If all the graces ere did meet; In her in her they were complete.

My Ann, my all my angel wife, My dearest one my love my life, I cannot sigh or say fare well, But where thou dwellest I will dwell.[1]

Hon. John Blair

Sacred to the memory of the
Hon^{ble} John Blair,
Eldest son of the Hon^{ble} John Blair
formerly President of the Council and
General Court of Virginia.
Soon after his admission to the Bar,
he was appointed Clerk of the Council, which
office he resigned on the commencement
of our Great Revolutionary contest. From that

  1. The tradition is that this stone came down on the same stage that brought Rev.
    Scervant Jones and his second wife to Williamsburg, but, true to the epitaph on her
    tombstone, "He sleeps with the dust of his first partner now."
