Every "legitimate” member of Revolutionary War soldier Francis Jones's family lies in a small cemetery near where the Smiths' enslaved maid Harriet gave birth to four daughters, one fathered by Jones's white lawyer grandson, three by the white physician grandson. The four girls grew up with two "mothers”, for Miss Mary Ruffin Smith, spinster sister of the licentious boys, took them into the big house, baptized them, and then guided them to marriage to respectable biracial men.
