*D.Cert. #7105 gives b. 14 Dec 1846 {way too late}; the informant was 
   [son-in-law] W.W. Winborne. 

Both the obit & D.Cert. are in error as to her mother's maiden name. 

Lemuel R. Gardner m. 1 May 1824 Nancy Daughtrey (Daughtry). 
   (Southampton Co. M.Reg. pp. 335, 688) 

Nancy remarried, to Wm.H. Saunders, ca. 1851. 
   (1860 Census - Upper Parish, Nansemond Co., VA) 

The 1850 Census gives Margaret Gardner, age 11, b. Nansemond Co.; 
   1860, Margaret Saunders, age 19.  (both in Nan.Co.) 

Margaret's bro Lemuel H. Gardner served in Co. C/13th Va. Cav., CSA.

He d. 12 Mar 1913, Nansemond Co. and is buried in South Quay Baptist Church 
   Cemetery.  His D.Cert. (#6604; Holy Neck #7) gives his parents correctly 
   [though birthdate disagrees with that in the CW bio].
