and lies buried in three different graves

What???

Was he dismembered and his parts buried separately?

Or, are there three graves which claim to be the tomb of Thomas Paine and no one is really sure which, if any, is correct?

Or, is there another possibility which my two brain cells cannot fathom?

Paine's body was dug up and moved twice, by people who thought they could make an attraction from his grave site. The process being sloppy, no doubt parts of his body remained in each prior location. I've even read reports that some people made buttons from some of his bones.

A similar multiple burial and reburial occured with Christopher Columbus. He, too is buried in three different graves.
