  	Note: Dolley Madison was initially interred at the burial vault at the Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C. On 11 February 1852, Dolley's niece Annie Payne Causten had Dolley remains moved to the Causten family vault which is also located at the Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C. As noted in Dolley's will, she desired to be buried next to her husband James. On 13 January 1858, Dolley's remains were brought to the family cemetery at the Montpelier Plantation, Orange, Virginia, United States. She was buried next to her husband, President James Madison, Jr. On January 26, 1858, the Richmond Enquirer described the circumstances of her final journey home: "We learn that the remains of Mrs. Madison were brought from Washington by her nephew, Mr. Cutts, on Wednesday, the 13th inst., and deposited in the cemetery at Montpelier, near the monument recently placed by the citizens of this country over the grave of her husband. This we understand, was in compliance with a wish expressed by Mrs. Madison herself. Circumstances unavoidable heretofore delayed it." Sometime after her burial at Montpelier a gravestone was procured from J.W. Davies, the same stone carver who had constructed President Madison's obelisk, and the stone was placed above her grave located behind that of her husband. [1]
