The photo for this grave shows a marker that has the same style as five others in this Cemetery:
Sarah Basham Jones (Born 1798), Harvey Basham Jones (1822-1882), Sarah Cottongim Jones (Born 1822), Hiram Jones (Born 1831) and Wallas Jones (Born 1837). Seeing as only 3 of the 5 have both birth and death dates suggest they were placed after the fact by relatives who were not sure of the exact dates., so I feel these dates should be taken only as guidelines. But also as an indication the people associated with these graves are closely related.

Birth: US Census and County Tax records suggest this Isaac Jones was born late 1801 or early 1802, which differs from the 1800 on his grave marker.

Marriage: He with co-security Ezekiel S. Jones made a Bond requesting a Marriage License be issued for Isaac Jones to marry Sarah Basham, on July 20, 1821. A license was issue that same day. A return was made by Blaggrove Hopper stating he solemnized the marriage on July 22, 1821.

Spouse: Sarah/Sally Basham - I have linked 2 spouses memorials, as I believe the 2 memorials are for the same person. The birth date of 1798 seems to be the more likely of the two.

Death: He signed his Will on March 14, 1862 and it was entered into the Knox County Will Book from the April Term 1862 to the June Term 1862, showing his death in 1862.

His Will does not name a wife, showing Sarah died before him.

Children: His Will names 6 children: Harvey B. Jones, Rhoda Catron, Susan Botner, Wellington Jones (named as L. W.), Hiram Jones, Wallis Jones (named as Calvin W. in the Will and Wallas on his gravestone). All have memorials created in this Cemetery. All but Wellington have grave markers. Census, tax and death records suggest 2 other children, who must have died prior to Isaac: Elizabeth (1827-1854) and Isaac (1841/2 - 1861)

This Isaac Jones is proven to be a son of Isaac Jones (# 58220576) by that Isaac's Will and Estate Sale Bill, combined with this Isaac's Tax List entries showing an increase in slaves after the Sale.
