  9.  George R.                                                                     
 
13 Nov 1806 - The Court orders a road committee to survey a road 
"from Christopher Lotspeich's plantation, up Horse Creek by John 
Rymals mill to the County line of Washington in a direct course 
to Brownsburg..." [15]247.  Records of the Rymals are rare 
in both Washington and Greene Counties, so it is likely that 
Rebecca was the wife of John Rymal.

18 Sep 1830 - Rebecca Rimal has a non-cupative will in Greene 
Co., Tenn.  "She came to the home of Alexander Broyles - stayed 5 
weeks, surprised by sickness - breathes no more."  [10]56.  This
record plus the next one are together in the will book, recorded
in 1841.  This casts a bit of doubt on the 1830 date.

20 Feb 1841 - Polly Mauk, (daughter of James Broyles) wife of 
Samuel Mauk of Washington Co., Tenn., swears that Rebecca Rimal 
had wanted her girls to have her effects because her sons had got 
their share.  Wit: Thos. McAdams, J. Pearce.  {Burgner, 56}  
Curiously, in addition to the Rimal sons being summoned to Court, 
four Goods are also summoned.  Perhaps they are the children of a 
deceased daughter?
