George, Rebecca, and little George P were re-interred at Mount Auburn from Roxbury. I am assuming they came over from the tombs there with Sarah (Read) Sessions on 4 Nov 1857 and poss interred at Geranium Path, Lot 2572.
They are not on the burial record, but Mount Auburn wasn't 100% with the re-interments, and they are recorded by Mount Auburn as being there, and also recorded at Biographical Sketches of Representative Citizens of the Commonwealth ("Their mortal remains rest at Mount Auburn"). I think this may have been one big tomb, or two tombs; the entire family at Roxbury was re-interred here.
