Eva, Thanks for that info! It does bring up a couple of questions though. John Conaways youngest child, Willimina "Minnie" Conaway, was born in March, 1870, two years following the death of Rhodias/Rhodes ??. I also have Johns wife listed as Eliza A ___. It appears that Eliza was Johns second wife! (I don't have my documents here, but I got Elizas name from either the 1870 or 80 census. I've also missplaced a copy of Johns will, which was typed on my old computer which has subseqintely crashed! I will have to find my backup and/or paper copies. I'll have to get back to you with that info once I dig up my "stuff". As you can probably tell, I've gotten kinda busy with other things and have let my geneaolgy research lag a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to get "back to normal" soon , what ever that is!
