Other reasons to support my conclusion: Local records do not list any other person who might match the information on this headstone. The name, age, and middle initial on the stone do exactly match what records are available for David's son John. The plot this stone is on was purchased by David's distant cousin who buried his son George there, before the family moved away soon afterwards. Knowing he wouldn't need any of the other plots he had purchased, since he was leaving, this cousin could have offered the use of one of them to David.
