Her daughter Ada was best friends with my grandmother Ida Rhodes, who married William Houston Paxton. Ida was 16 years younger than William, who was 7 years younger than his brother John. That explains how Ada and Ida could be the same age, but one marrying the brother of the other one's father! Ida and William named their first daughter with the middle name "Bell"...I'm sure it was after Ada.
