However, there were a number of babies and small children buried in family plots of different surnames and I know they weren't married!! I'm thinking maybe the parents didn't have the money to purchase their own plot and so a relative came forward and offered a plot for the child, maybe Grandparents or Aunts. This could also account for the name differences. Best Regards, Sharon CAMARIPO List step-mom
