I was trying to think about what would have been a sufficiently compelling reason for them to be willing to transport these stones over such a huge distance. The stones had to have a significance that made them worth the effort. If they were merely commemerative (like headstones) they would have been left where they were, but if they were thought to be the embodiment of the spirit of the ancestor or even the actual ancestor themselves, that would be a sufficient reason to transport them to a new site.
