I read about the tombstone at the WFMY2 web site. The article stated the dates were 11 Jan 1849 - 01 Apr 1904.
If the date of birth was 1829, I think I have found Elizabeth. She would have been the wife of James
Madison Carlton.
1900
Wake County census:
Madison
Carlton b. Mar 1854
Elizabeth wife b. Jan 1829
She was older. Age varies from 1880 to 1900, but at least 20 years older than
Madison.
By 1910, James M. Carlton had remarried. The census noted he and his wife, Mary, had been married twice.
So, the date of death of 1904 for Elizabeth fits.
I located James
Madison Carlton at ancestry.com with wife Elizabeth or Elizabeth Mary King, no other info for Mary and no death date for James.
Marcellus
Carlton was a son.
Unfortunately, I do not know where Elizabeth or James were buried.
I did find son,
Marcellus Carlton, in a cemetery listing at the
Wake County GenWeb site. He is buried at Ebenezer
Baptist Church Cemetery. James
Madison Carlton nor Elizabeth were listed as being buried there.
Hope this helps,
