Biography

Notes

From Doliante, p. 468:

"Rev. Thomas Odell... He m. (2) C1778, in Md., Grace "Gracey" Austin, who was b. Sep. 22, 1756, in Wales; d. July 6, 1835, Odell, Ind."

Find a Grave gives her birth date as 13 Oct 1757. I have used the date from Doliante (above) and marked it as uncertain.

Death

Her place of death, Odell, Ind., given in Doliante, was first settled in 1831 by John W. Odell (Wikipedia). I have not yet looked for the family connection between her husband Thomas and the first settler John W., but considering her date of death, it seems likely she came there with John, or shortly thereafter. She was widowed at that time, Thomas having died in 1827 in Ohio.

Burial

Salem Cemetery; Attica, Fountain County, Indiana, USA
