She grew up at their home called "Greenwood" in Axton, VA.
The house was dismantled circa 1940 and moved to Martinsville, Va.

I think the tombstone photo is of her husband's marker.
Do you know ?
When you click on the photo it says her stone is the larger stone under Roberts stone.
What does the shiny plaque say ?

Info below from findagrave member David Leatherwood in July 2015:
In the case of the grave marker posted for Elizabeth Pocahontas Martin Williams, however, I believe there may be an error. The graves depicted are those of Robert Walker Williams and his first wife Frances Ann Watkins.
Per her son Arch Williams in a letter to Mrs. S. W. Collie, Robert Walker Williams is buried with his first wife and two infant children in Danville (Old Grove Street Cemetery). His second wife, Elizabeth Pocahontas Martin, "was not buried there at all, but at the old home place "Homewood."" The location of Homewood is described in newspapers of the time as near Brosville in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Brosville can be found today along the highway that connects Danville to Martinsville.
Elizabeth Pocahontas Martin Williams married again after the death of Robert Walker Williams. Her marriage in 1866 to Andrew Darnall (also spelled Darnell and Darnald) may have been a factor in her burial apart from her first husband.
