About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery known as Jones-Perkins- Hawkings Cemetery was part of Atlanta historian, Franklin Garrett's great cemetery survey of the 1930s. At that time there were a few markers still there, but since that time all markers have been removed. A few rocks marking graves remain as well as a few sinks here and there. The property located east of Avondale Estates inside the triangular intersection of Covington Highway and Midway Rd. in Dekalb CO, GA is now grown-up. The location of this cemetery as well as the people who are listed in it, also comes from an oral history handed down by their granddaughter, Ella Hawkins Edwards. She stated that her Grandma and Grandpa Hawkins lived on the right side of Covington Highway just past the cemetery and that they and her grandmother's parents were buried there.

Addendum: In 2012 we were walking through the cemetery and uncovered a broken marker that was mostly unreadable due to wear and there is also a small footstone with the initials "PAJ' at the foot of the broken marker. It has been determined that this marker is that of Parthenia Ann Jones.
