RHODA ROSE

Rhoda Rose, the third child of David and Hannah Par Rose, was born in New Jersey on 26 Apr 1749. She married Morris Lewis and by him had one son named Morris Lewis, Jr. Her husband drowned in the Susquehanna River near the mouth of the Juniata River. She afterwards married Henry Goucher in July 1781 at Zebbornick's house (a neighbor, I suppose), in Lancaster, PA, and by him had three sons and two daughters. Her sons were John, Henry, and Robert, and her daughters were named Ann and Elizabeth.

Rhoda, nicknamed Rodey, lived 92 years. She died on the 14th  day of June 1841.
