Her husband's headstone broke at the plinth, and was leaned against the fence. 
   (Find a Grave Mem. #90274244) 

Her connections to the relatives named are not clear, because of the loss 
   of the Nansemond Co. records.  Confederate veteran Wallace KILBY's mother 
   was a SMITH; his wife "Maggie" A. (TYNES) KILBY's mother was a POWELL. 
   T.W., and bros. H.E. & R.R. SMITH were all Confederate veterans, and 
   their mothers were POWELL's.
