Notes - MHR note: Ida Cronkhite said that Eliza Mavity's mother's people were Rhaele, pronounced as two syllables. Her father was a near neighbor of William Mavity (pronounced Moveety, accent on the middle). They moved to Kentucky as newly weds.
[2] - Note on Find a Grave:
The last of at least six children born to Michael and Anna Elizabeth Rhaale (aka Real) from Palatinate, Germany, Dorothea married John Mavity on 25 Jun 1795 in Franklin Co VA.
The first four children were born in Franklin Co VA. In 1803, Dorothea's husband was a minister for Montgomery Co KY. Thre children were born to them during their time in that county. By 1810, they had moved to Shelby Co KY, where at least the last two of their children were born.
By 1826 the family lived on a farm near Rexville in Ripley Co IN. There, husband John died, in October of that year.
New information indicates Dorothea and husband John are buried in the Mavity family graveyard located on farmland once belonging to John's father William. This land is located off Old Michigan Rd, near Rexville in Ripley Co IN.
Dorothea is my 4th Gr-Grandmother.
