Told she died in the Republic of Mexico, but believe she had daughter/family in New Mexico.
Married Clarmont Co, OHio May 6 c1817
On daughter Electa headstone Motheres name spelled Roda,
check other spellings of first and last names.
They lived/or part to their farm is Blue Grass Cemetery,
Scott Co, Iowa. Some of their children settled in neigboring county of Pleaseant Prairie, Fulton Twp, Muscatine Co, Iowa.
Part of their land was given to this cemetery.

They are buried here or in Parr Cemetery.
I am always looking for information on this family as it is my direct line.
It is my understanding that Rhoda is buried under the mound next to the headstone of her husband. She was afraid of rodents and a mound was placed on her grave.
