You are correct—Annie was born in Ireland. We all know how notoriously inaccurate recordkeeping could be back then. Who knows who supplied her information for the death certificate.

I did a little nosing around and found some census records for who I think were her sons from her first marriage and they list their mother as being born in Ireland, which matches what I found in my research. Obviously, this isn’t totally reliable, either. Thanks for you comment. -Jessie

The information on FamilySearch.org’s web site is incorrect: Annie was not born in Virginia. After much research on behalf of my mother: Annie’s Great GrandDaughter. We have family information of Annie’s birth and death. The dates are correct. Thanks Kimberly

Thanks Ann! The Richmond City Death Certificates at the Library of Virginia are the source of Family Search’s information. Rhodes died from chronic diarrhea.
