Can you give us a clue on this one?
Okay - back from my fa-la-la-ing with a clue: First-born son, likely cause of death was measles, died before Willie Lincoln.
Regarding the two previously mentioned children's first places of burial: Pauline Robinson Bush (Robin)'s body was first donated to science since leukemia was so unknown in 1953. Her remains were then buried in Putnam Cemetery in Greenwich, CT, before re-interment in Texas in 2000 when the site of President Bush's library was chosen.
Patrick Bouvier Kennedy and the still-born sister (Arabella), who was the first child of the Kennedys after a miscarriage, were both buried in Holyhood Cemetery in Brookline, MA, which President Kennedy claimed as his hometown.
