We have no record of a marriage for Elijah.
There is a bit of a puzzle on this entry.
The inscription of "son of SH and RTM" doesn't exactly correspond with his tree info.

All the records previously recorded as early as 2008 on him show all the birth, death, cemetery agrees. Mr. Sanders mother is also buried in this cemetery.

His dad's name is Samuel Newton Sanders. I am wondering if this weathered headstone is correct as "son of S. N." instead of "S. H."

His mother is Arimincey Nichols Sanders and was called "Mincey" or "Mencey". The headstone looks very clear that it is indeed, "R. T. M.". So there is the mystery.
