h/o Rhoda Cornish

s/o Amasa Sexton and Lavina Bailey
In 1867, Wells Dixon Sexton and Merritt Spinning, husband of his daughter Emma Ann Sexton, bought a peach orchard near Dover, Delaware. This obviously accounts for Rhoda Cornish Sexton's place of death. By 1870, Wells moved back to Lee, New York/Oneida Co. It would appear that the Sexton-Spinning peach venture did not work out as Emma died in Buffalo, NY and Merritt died in Indian Territory during the gold rush.
Obituary in the Roman Citizen of Friday, 2 Feb 1877:
"Lee Center, Jan 30, 1877. Mr. Wells D. Sexton, a few weeks ago, made his daughter, Mrs. Merritt Spinning, a visit in Maryland. On starting for home he slipped and fell as he was getting into the car, but did not feel injured enough to prevent his continuing his journey home. He arrived at home about one week ago, and yesterday at 4 P.M. died. Other particulars have not come to my knowledge. He was about 70 years old."
