Family Notes

Rhoda's father David farmed in Surry County until 1788, when he moved southwest into Rutherford County and settled on the Broad River, leaving behind his father, his younger brother James with their respective families. His brother-in-law- James Doyle appears to have moved his family along with David's into Rutherford. Two of David's sons, James Ashley and Samuel with their respective families, had gone ahead to Missouri in 1816.

Rhoda's father David Reavis was one of the three founders of the Creek Baptist Church in western North Carolina (Surry County), according to the preserved minutes of Dutchman's Creek Baptist Church, "located in the forks of the Yadkin" on March 5, 1772.
