Elias Rambo [#XXXXM] son of Jacob [31C6]

This blog was prompted by the discovery by Katt Rambo of a court case in Sevier County, Tennessee discussing probate of property belonging to Henry Rambo deceased and naming his heirs, one of whom was Elias Rambo of Mississippi [#XXXXM] in the Rambo Family Tree, hereafter referred to as The Book.  One of his sisters named in the court case was Rona McCroskey and the 1850 census revealed her name to actually be Rheuhemiah McCroskey with a daughter of the same name.  From there it was a short jump to deciding that Jacob Rambo of North Carolina who married Rheuhemiah Sulcer and bought property in adjoining Sevier County Tennessee in 1810 must be the father.  So far, the name Rheuhemiah is the only proof of the relationship, but it is an incredibly unusual name.
Unfortunately Jacob and Rheumehiah left very few footprints, their whereabouts are still mostly conjecture, and their dates and places of death are entirely unknown.

Here are the jpegs:

Katt, we need to add the URL of the source and the citation to the original record.

Here is a screen shot of the relevant portion of the 1850 Sevier County census.

Hi Katt, I need reference citations for these photos, i.e. I need to cite the book and page of the court case, and it would be best to also have the URL.  Ditto for the census record.

We should also create a family group sheet for the family

Jacob Rambo [31C6] m. Rheuhemiah Sulcer and had children:

  1) Rheuhemiah "Rona" b. ca 1803 m. John McCroskey

  2) Harvey b. 15 Apr 1804 d. 22 Sep 1869

  3) Merida b. unknown m. George Druke

  4) Loranzo b. 9 Dec 1807

  5) Elias b. 18 Feb 1809 m. Jane Clarinda Wiley

  6) Margaret b. 30 Sep 1810 m. James H. Card

  7) Letty b. 16 Sep 1812

  8) James b. 12 Mar 1815

In the 1850 Federal census of Noxubee, Mississippi, the James H. Card family appears without Margaret, who is said to have died in 1844.
