I have that Rhoda Raines Pafford was born in VA, Feb 20, 1828. She married Lorenzo Dow French Apr 1, 1847. She died Apr 20, 1893. Her father was William Pafford b 1808 in VA, & her mother was Sarah Jane Raines born May 19, 1799 in VA, died in Beetown WI on May 6 1880. She is buried in the Beetown Cemetery.
Eunice was the oldest of their (Rhoda & Lorenzo) 9 children, and Minerva (my greatgrandmother) was the youngest. Minerva (aka Minnie) was born in 1866.
Minerva married Moses Krohn in Freeport IL. on March 22, 1887. She died there in 1902, leaving 4 children, Hubert, Loyal, Bessie & Leon. Hubert worked I believe for a railroad, and was in the WI, IN area. Bessie was in the Fort Wayne IN area, Leon was lost at sea, and Loyal (my grandfather) relocated in NYC after discharge from the Marines.
