A very nice lady who lives in the area had listed her email on the Weakley Co. Genealogy website and she responded to my email with this info:

The Weakley County Cemeteries books lists: Patterson Cemetery

Henry J. Ward 1788 - March, 1863 age 75 y

Penelopy Ward 1793 - November 15, 1865, wife of Henry J Ward, age 72 y

Listed next to them are:

Ward, Infant son, born and died July 8, 1883

Ward, Lellar Pearl, February 17, 1876 - June 10, 1878

Infant son and daughter of J.W. and S. P. Ward

Several pages later are: Jones,

Abel Jones October 12, 1813 - January 24, 1881

Jones, Mary F. August 4, 1816 - October 23, 1897, wife of Abel Jones'

Lowery, Mary May 1, 1833 - May 9, (1)880 The 1 is missing in the book, probably a typo.

This book does not indicate whether there are double stones, but these are probably next to one another. These graves are listed next to the graves of my great aunt (died 1902), her children and husband. I have been there and their graves are next to the street and the front entrance to the cemetery, so the Ward and Lowery graves are probably located there also..

These listings are taken from grave stones and were cataloged August 13, 1978 and are in order as the researches found them. The first people buried here were in the actual cemetery in 1848.
