? Boleyn/Bolen/Boling/Bolden?

The headstone which appears to have been made years after her death may be incorrect in many ways. The 1850 Lee Co., VA Census shows that it is more likely she was born about 1838.
Her first marriage was on 19 April 1869 in Claiborne Co., TN to Bradford Davis.
Her second marriage was on 11 June "1874" in Claiborne Co., TN to William "Boling."
The 1880 Claiborne Co., TN Census shows that she is still alive at age 38 (or 42 if born abt. 1838) with her second husband John William "Boling", her Davis children and their "Boling" children. And, in the will of her brother Dr. Samuel C. Brown which is dated 1886, it states he is giving something to the children of his deceased sister Lititia "Bolen." This is another reason the headstone is inaccurately engraved. Therefore, she could not have died in 1873 but more likely about 1883.

Children of Lititia and Bradford: James M., William, and Samuel W.
Children of Lititia and John William: Louise E. and Mary E.
