I have a brick wall with this group. Elizabeth and one older sister not listed-Permelia-married Gober men in Newton County Georgia and moved to the Chattanooga area before the civil war. On the 1850 census Douglas J. was listed as a carpenter born NC and 62 years old.I can find no mention of Douglas anywhere else. Rhoda died years later in Chattanooga, while living with Permelia. Wonder if the J was for John?....Elizabeth's death certificate listed "Bill" Patterson and Rhoda Smith as parents. Help needed. Husband: Douglas J.
