QUESTIONS: Where were the parents Benjamin and Elizabeth SHEETS living before 1870? When and where did they marry? When and where did they die?  What happened to their first child Elizabeth?

What is the maiden name for Benjamin SHEETS' wife Elizabeth? Perhaps it is LLOYD? This is given as middle name for both their daughter Ida and grandson Seeley.

Still searching for more proof of death (d/c or obit -- to supplement  tombstone info) for Ida (SHEETS) ROUSE and son Seeley Lloyd ROUSE. They
probably died in Bullitt Co or Spencer Co or nearby.
