DARDEN -
I am trying to locate a grave site for my third great grandfather, James Madison Darden, Revolutionary War soldier. My family has always told me that he is buried in Bedford County, Virginia, close to a railroad track that was added later to the area. Do you know if a DAR marker could possibly be placed at this site? I will be so grateful for any help that you can give me.
