per Mary Alice Claycombe Adney, "Adney Family Story," (1986) "He is buried in Woods Chapel Cemetery (Methodist) which is two miles south and east of Philomath or 1 mile east and 1 mile north of Paddock's Ford in Union County, IN. Frank and Mary Alice Adney have seen the stone. It is large and his daughter Catherine is buried next to him. His stone reads d. May 2, 1862 aged 85 yrs., 3 mo., 2 dys. Also buried in this cemetery are M. M. Dunn wife of Elijah Johnson d. 6-1-1852 age 24 and Thos. Dunn d. 1-29-1844 age 40. Could these be any relation to Elizabeth Dunn Adney--mother of Daniel?"
