  Several genealogies have identified here also as the wife of Isom Terry, whose wife was also named Ceatta.  But Isom's wife could not be Ceatta Justice, because Isom and Ceatta are enumerated together in the 1860 census.  Rhodes and Ceatta Justice married in September 1860, while Isom and his Ceatta, whose last name I have still not discovered, married in August 1860.  Ceatta Terry was about 5 years older than Ceatta Justice, also, according to the various records.
  
  "... in regard to Isom's first wife, Ceatta. My great grand Aunt Lee (Rachel's child), always told my Dad she thought her grandma was Seatty Slone. All my life (almost 50 years) I grew up thinking my direct ancestor was Slone. Only in the last 20 or so years did I entertain the notion and try to make Ceatta Justice fit. Just last night I asked my father again about Isom's first wife's last name and he again relayed the name Seatty Slone. I understand this is not proof but it is a valid recollection. My dad has been talking to "old timers" for about 50 years."
