"age 42"
There are at least three David Gard markers in this row. Also, 1850 census indicates David's wife was Harriett. He married Harriet Offutt in Virginia. She may be buried here as well, but in my walk-through census of readable markers, I did not find her name.
Children listed in the 1850 census are:
Sarah (1841 VA)
Samuel F. (1842, VA)
John (1845 VA)
Soloman T (1847 VA)
Margaret A. (1949 VA)
David (1865 IN; appears in the 1860 census with his mother in North River Mills PO, Hampshire County, (West) Virginia and is listed as 5 years old)provided by Karol Miller

I sent an email to you about a week ago regarding David and Harriet's youngest son, David. When I sent that email I forgot to include some additional information regarding the family. After David died, Harriet remarried Emanuel Hoke on 16 Nov 1871. Emanuel died 30 Oct 1897 and is buried at Sumption Prairie with his first wife, Magdalin. I believe Harriet outlived Emanuel and went to live with one of her children after he died, but I don't know which one or where. I also don't know where she is buried. Additionally, David and Harriet had a daughter named Eliza Jane born in July 1857. Eliza appears in the 1870, 1880, 1900 and 1910 US Censuses. In the 1900 census she is listed as an "idiot". It appears that her older sister Sarah E. took care of her all of her adult life. I think both David and Eliza Jane are buried at Sumption Prairie. I'm not sure which graves belong to them though. It seems like Sarah should be there too, but I don't know where she is either. Provided by Karol Miller
