John Davenport, Sr.

"I do not believe John is buried at Mt Auburn, only that his name has been memorialized on this stone."

This gravestone is a cenotaph; it gives the line of descent of the last person who died and is presumably buried at this cemetery. It does not mean any prior deceased ancestor is also buried with or near this gravestone. Accordingly, this gravestone has no particular meaning or relevance to this memorial for John Davenport himself.
