I don't know if you are still doing research on these Jones, but thought I would answer your question. The records in the family have always said they were buried in an abandoned Indian cemetery on Gilligan's Bluff. This is on a curve of the Des Moines River. I have never been there as even the hunters stay out of the area except when the rattlesnakes are hibernating. I have talked to several people who have hunted there in the winter and they have all said there are no signs of a cemetery in the area, but it is woody, rocky and there could be one, but it would be hard to find. So I guess my answer is, I really haven't seen their graves.
