The link below explains John's body was brought from the plantation where he was originally buried to St Anne's. Here is an excerpt from this Baltimore Sun article of 8 Jul 2008: " Addison Worthington and his cousin Thomas have photographs and an account from a late friend, a member of the Brice family who owned the land when John Worthington's marker was moved in 1929, to support their claims. His friend saw the bones being removed from the original grave and accompanied the stone and remains as they were brought to St. Anne's, Thomas Worthington said." I will research this further and make updates as new information is found. In the meantime, I will contact Find a Grave admins regarding the duplicate memorial which places John in the wrong location as well.

Capt John Worthington was laid to rest at the burial ground at Pendenny Plantation, the farm of Tilghman Brice located on the Severn River, opposite Annapolis. He was later reinterred at St Anne's. Thanks to Linda for the following - Founders of Anne Arundel & Howard Cos, by Joshua Dorsey Warfield, 1905, Pg 147: " The tombstone is of greyish marble. It also bears on top a most beautiful and remarkable insignia. The interpretation of the crest is "To him who lies beneath this stone, time (represented by the hour-glass) has taken to itself wings (wings, between which stands the hour-glass). His mortal remains must here lie (mortality represented by death's head), until summoned by the trumpet of the arch-angle (trumpets crossed behind death's head) to wear the victor's crown (laurel wreath)." The slab covers a well-preserved walled grave, which is only a few yards north of the homestead, the form and material of which is still preserved. " Six months after John's death, son Charles II was born. John is my 1st Cousin 9x removed through his mother Sarah (Browne) Worthington (1625-1664). His mother is the younger sister of my 8th maternal Gr-Grandfather.∼Among the tombstones in the churchyard are those of five 17th-Century Marylanders: John Worthington (1650-1701) (m. Sarah Dorsey Howard)
