She is most likely NOT there. I placed a photo request for both Patricia & Martin's headstones. We may not know who's buried in 'Grant's Tomb' but VA keeps excellent records. BTW Grant's Tomb is under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, according to wikipedia.org ... and it also says 'NO ONE' is buried there. Grant and his wife, Julia are actually entombed there. Mariner\'s Knoll Genealogy USA [S926] Find-A-Grave, (www.findagrave.com).
