Who was Rhoda Ann Lavender's mother? Who were her father's parents?
Rhoda Ann Lavender married Stephen Bradford Lair on August 25, 1829 in Lincoln County, Kentucky. They had 2 sons (Jerome Burke and William Thomas) and Stephen died before 1839. Rhoda married Thomas Ramsey, Jr. on January 20, 1839 (also in Lincoln County). Rhoda and Thomas lived in Rockcastle County, Kentucky and had 3 children (Margaret E., Joseph Love and Harriett L.). Rhoda apparently died before 1850.
Rhoda's father was John Lavender and she had 4 siblings (Joseph, Elizabeth Jane, Allen and Amelia). Amelia married Edward Syria in 1821 in Lincoln County. A John Lavender married Nancy Tudor on April 28, 1837 in Lincoln County but it is unclear if that was the same John Lavender. If it was the same John, then Nancy Tudor could not have been the mother of Rhoda or Amelia (as both were married in the 1820's) and she probably wasn't the mother of the other Lavender children. Nothing else is known about the family.
