Thank you , Rena. This seems to indicate that what we all had thought originally was correct...the son of James and Tobitha Gardner is the one who married Susanna Webb and then as a widower, married Delphia Wade (glad to know the correct spelling of Adelphia)... I hadn't realized there was another Alexander Gardner of similar place and time..so it really threw me off... I can live with the Alexandria vs Alexander gravestone mystery....I assume that is his stone....and his date of death. And the other Alexander Gardner who married Elizabeth Sowers would the one buried at the Zion Lutheran Church. He is listed in census as a carpenter as is the one who served in the 54th VA... I can probably find out if they both served; I imagine they both did so. Thanks Debbie
