JohnHarris, Sr. Gravesite

While attending a recent conference in Harrisburg, I went for a walk across Market Street to the Susquehanna River, (approximately Market and Chestnut Streets). Walking back to the road, I happened-upon the 264-year old grave of John Harris, Sr.

A placard at the site states the grave's occupant is the father of the town's founder, but isn't this the founder himself?

Interesting to note John Harris, Sr. formerly-resided in Bainbridge, (north of my home in Rowenna).
