That cemetery isn't covered by "perpetual care" maintenance is it?
The first comprehensive biography of Alexander Henry "Alexander Henry, Rifle Maker" was published on 23 November 2017, by gunmaking history author Donald Dallas, with considerable input from Henry's great great grandson, Richard Brown. There is a short YouTube video, introducing the book, here :

The marker, on the ground, for the Budce family appears to have fallen/pushed off the stand behind it.
Maybe a few stout fellows could put it back on the stand.....
