Mary Boice buried at Jenkins Fork of Gillespie Run , Ritchie Co, WV

I am looking for any information about a Mary Boice who is listed in the WPA cemetery books as being buried 'Jenkins Cemetery'on our family homestead at Jenkins Fork, which is a tributary of the Right Fork of Gillespie Run, about 1.3 miles below Racy, WV.

This is an unmarked grave, located next to the original but long gone Jenkins Family homestead ( home). It was pointed out by the then owners of the property back about 1960.

Ritchie Historical Society says the person in this unmarked grave was given the name Mary Boice, by neighbors who were related to the original Jenkins owners of the property. However, no one thought to ask for details about mary Boice at the time, and all those who might remember are long dead.

Any help would be appreciated.
