Phelps Smith is a rather elusive character showing up in Giles County, Tennessee in 1809-1810, and is on the census records for 1810, 1820, 1830 with wife and children of appropriate age.
He disappears before the 1840 census, and his wife marries a gentleman named Hogan in 1848. and by 1860 she is living with her youngest son Redden Smith in Nacogdoches County, Texas.
The only place that I am not sure of the whereabouts of Rhoda A. Nicholas 'nee Smith in for the 1880 Census. In 1900 she is living in the home of Christopher Columbus Nicholas "her nephew" and Hester Ann Nicholas her daughter. Along with her brother-in-law Thomas Jefferson Nicholas in Rusk County, Texas.
So far I have found not other record for her.
