No reasonable explanations or supportable theories have yet been postulated about this grave arrangement, unless Jane is buried to the east of her headstone, which may be the case. However, that still leaves the question of why the stone itself is buried.
The question of the identity and relationships of Jane Davies presents another mystery that has not yet been solved. There were no records found to fit a Jane S.

The closest “near match” encountered was in the land records for Samuel and Jane Davis, as shown in the land transaction index below:
