Diamond of Peterstown and the Jones Family Saga
The Peterstown diamond tale spans decades from its likely washdown into the New River to its return by Grover Jones in 1964. It passed through Grace Jones, a Sotheby's sale in 1984, and a 75 000 dollar estimate, with Pam Jackson noting a South Korean buyer possibility. The family, famed for 17 children, drew national attention and a local history marker now stands at Market and Sycamore streets in Peterstown.
