Can anyone confirm that John Franklin (went by Franklin) Stevenson is buried at Concord like his three known wives?

John Franklin (went by Franklin) Stevenson was the eighth of eleven known children of William Stevenson Jr. (1763-1840) and Prudence Hall (1764-1851), who married 22 Feb 1780 at Iredell County, North Carolina.

Franklin first married to Nancy Evaline Alexander (1810-1833) on 12 Feb 1832 at presumably North Carolina. Franklin and Nancy had no known children.

After Nancy died, Franklin remarried to Jane Selinda Adams (1815-1844) on 07 Dec 1835 at presumably North Carolina. Franklin and Jane were the parents of four known children, namely:

1. Richard Layton Stevenson (1836-1842)
2. Nancy Evaline Stevenson Ingram (1838-1907)
3. William Hall Stevenson (1740-1862)
4. Margaret Caroline Stevenson White (1843-1912)

After Jane died, Franklin remarried to Tirza Caroline (went by Caroline) Sumpter (1822-1903) on 14 Feb 1846 at Iredell County, North Carolina. Franklin and Caroline were the parents of nine known childen, namely:

5. Jane Celinda Stevenson (1846-1917)
6. Richard Lee Stevenson (1848-1884)
7, John Austen Stevenson (1850-1900)
8. Martha Ann Stevenson Rickert (1853-1897)
9. Thomas Whitfield Stevenson (1855-1879)
10. Laura Annette Stevenson Davis (1857-1895)
11. Lawrence Eugene Stevenson (1859-1907)
12. Junius Gustave Stevenson (1861-1927)
13. Charlotte Prudence Stevenson (1864-p1880)

Some records show Franklin died in 1886, but other records indicate he died sometime between 1870 and 1880. In 1850 Franklin, Caroline and children: Nancy, William, Margaret, Jane and Richard were living at Iredell County, North Carolina with Franklin listed as a farmer. In 1860 Franklin, Caroline, and the second through eleventh children were living at Liberty Hill Township, Iredell County, North Carolina. In 1870 Franklin, Caroline (listed as Tirza), Jane, Richard, John, Thomas, Laura, Lawrence, Gustave and Charlotte were living at Statesville Township, Iredell County, North Carolina.

In 1880 the children John, Laura, Junius and Charlotte were living with the William David Jenkins (1814-1896) and Sarah "Sallie" Augustua Moose Poplin (1832-1890) (or 1826-1899?) Jenkins family at Statesville, Iredell County, North Carolina. They were listed as sons and daughter! Other Jenkins children were also listed. Were these relatives of some sort? I assume Franklin died before 1880, but why weren't the children living with Caroline? Where was Caroline? Caroline was a sister of Mary Jack Sumpter, who married Franklin's younger brother James Hall Stevenson.

Links to Franklin's parents, all of his three known wives, nine of his thirteen known children and six of his ten known siblings are included below.
