Reasons why the image for this memorial was requested

I have been informed on a number of occasions by elderly relatives that I am related to the Stevenson family. The link goes back through my grand mother who was a Stevenson and my great Robert,great great Robert Jaffray and great great great James Stevenson. James Stevenson was born 1761 and was the uncle of Robert Stevenson. All of the Stevensons in my family tree were stone masons. On Robert Jaffray Stevensons grave stone at Crosscannonby Cumbria is carved the Celtic symbol Triquetra I am hoping that this symbol appears on other Stevenson gravestones.
