[Editor's Note: Neal Underwood submitted the following additional information about the surname for these graves -

It appears that the surname for this family may be "Joans" presumably alternate spelling "Jones". This is from the 1860 census Hurricane Township, Lincoln County, Page 188, Township 60/67, household of Luther R. Joans, age 40; wife Sarah A. Joans, age 36 (born about 1824); and six children, the youngest two age 4 and age 3/12, which leaves a gap between about 1855/6 and 1860 where Ellen Prudence (1857-1859) could fit.]
