Elisa,
The Carden Cemetery Book shows a photo of Elizabeth Fuller Carden's
gravestone on the top half of the page. All the stone says is :

JAMES CARDEN
On the bottom half of the same page it says:

Goochland County, Virginia. Elizabeth Fuller was born 1801. James died

--------------------------------
The Carden Cemetery Book shows photos of all the gravestones. It also gives
a genealogy of the people buried in the graves. Even the unmarked graves.
There are also photos of several Cardens when they were available. There is
even a photo of James Carden born Sept 28, 1831. The book was a project of
East Middle School, Eighth Grade from Tullahoma, TN in 1997. The Eighth
Graders cleaned and restored the Cemetery. It was overrun with vines and
brush. The cemetery had been vandalized in the past and several tombstones
were found broken and carried away from the cemetery. It is not perfect now
but the appearance is much better. The book has a little Coffee County
History, the Carden Cemetery Warranty Deed, tombstone photos, live photos of
the people buried, genealogy, photos of the kids cleaning the cemetery and
an index.

Trish , i've wondered, does the cem. book give Elizabeth's
maiden name as
listed on her tombstone or how do you know for sure that this is
Elizabeth
Fuller? does the book give more info than just listings of tombstones?
