    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: cmcdonald45 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/807.7.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Rhoda Burnett's will was recorded in Chattooga County, Georgia on March 4th, 1845. She died shortly after that and was buried there. She was visiting her sons Silas and Jack [John] when she apparently became ill. Her will indicates that a daughter, Rhoda, married Joseph Nolly. According to a granddaughter's letter written around 1917, the daughter was named Rhoda Ann Grief Burnett. She was named Grief because she was born about 3 months after her father died. This would put his death around 1813 or 1814, before his wife moved to Tennessee. The daughter, Rhoda Nolly and her family moved to Texas, according to the granddaughter. Rhoda's marriage to Joseph Nolly is recorded in the Tennessee State Marriages book, No.2533, pg. 254. I would be happy to share a transcript of the letters written by the granddaughter, Elizabeth Sells with anyone who is interested.
