I matched these names to this stone by searching the cemetery database for a family in section K, surname starts with "L," all buried December, 1880. I searched for 1880 not because that's when these folks were buried, but because that's when these folks were moved from Holmead's Burying Ground. Fact is, Rock Creek didn't start accepting public burials until 1840 (any prior burials would have been church members only), and the early 1880s saw an influx of remains moved from Holmead's Burying Ground. The only family that matched my parameters was the Lenox Family, which I will try to find out more about.
