Jacob's New Tombstone in Jollett Cemetery dedicated on Saturday, June 19, 2010 and marked by the Ft. Harrison Chapter, Sons of the American Revolutionary, and the Massanutton Chapter and Shenandoah River Chapter of the Daughter of the American Revolution
Jacob's new tombstone replaces the one that disappeared in the 1960s. The new stone was made possible by scores of donations - large and small - from Smith descendants and beautifully crafted by Elkton artisan, Jimmy Miller of JEM Stone.
. . . and one for Winna too
After lying in an unmarked grave for 168 years, Winna now has a place of honor by Jacob's side in the Jollett Cemetery.
