• Notes

  Rhoda was also sometimes called Rhody or Ody. BIRTH: Could have been born in Paulding Co., Ga or in adjoining counties of Alabama. Census says AL. Newton1, N5, N1 Interestingly, there is a Roda C. Smith on the Dawes Roll, Card 159, Roll 527 listed as Cherokee by blood, 1/16. She is listed with Bill Jones and Sarah Jones as Parent, but I am not sure what that means yet. She is listed as 50 years old, but the rolls were usually dated from 1902, or as early as 1898, so the age is wrong in any case. I doubt that this is this same Rhoda C. Smith, though it is possible given her location. Certainly by the time of the enrollment, she was not known as Rhoda C. Smith, but rather Rhoda C. Almand.
