Linda, Now I see an Elizabeth Sowers who also married one Alexander Gardner of about the same age; perhaps I once knew this, but then I confused the two men..will l have a closer look at the census and marriage records...I'm sure I will also see your Alex. Marion Gardner; although the cemetery records still don't make sense to me. I wonder if the gravemarker in the photos at Alexander Gardner Cem. in Floyd was meant to be for Alexander rather than Alexandria..,,especially since the two wives, Delphia and Susanna are buried there..and the Alexander Gardner buried at Zion Lutheran Church Cem, might be the one born 1823, who married Elizabeth Sowers and the gravestone is in error on the dates? Linda...you are at least a double Quesenberry !! Thanks for your reply. Deb Debbie, Do not know if this will be any help to you, but I will throw this little bit out to you.  I have Alexander Marion Gardner m Elizabeth Adeline Wade (no dates) they have a daughter named Lydia E. Gardner and she married Charlie Everett Quesenberry in Carroll Co., Va. 4/12/1912.  Charles Q. is the son of Thomas Quesenberry & Umberetta Quesenberry.  Thomas & & Umberetta are 2nd cousins.  Can you tell that I am a Quesenberry?? Good Luck in your searching Debbie. Linda ( Quesenberry) Hackney
