From Ancestry.com lynnby6:

The cemetery in which Fidelia is buried is on private property on Harmon Field Road, across from Harmon Field in Tryon, Polk, North Carolina. There is an epitaph, but it is illegible. The cemetery is abandoned. The present owner in 2004 had cleared some underbrush and plans to do more.

The Williams family settled in the Pacolet River Valley area near Tryon before the Revolutionary War. Fidelia died in 1846 either in childbirth or from complications of the birth of her last child, a daughter.

Fidelia’s husband Jesse Rhodes helped in the development of Columbus in Polk County, North Carolina, by selling lots and laying out the streets for the city. He helped in the advertising and contracting to build the courthouse and jail.

In 1851 Jesse married Jane Thorne in Henderson County.

On March 11, 1867 he was elected as the first coroner.

Jesse Rhodes from Polk County was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of North Carolina in 1867. In the 1870s, a business directory lists an establishment called the toll house operated by Jesse Rhodes. R. Irvine Allen, brother of Dr. T. A. Allen, the latter being the oldest male inhabitant of this county, and Jesse Rhodes were among the chain-bearers when the county lines were first surveyed. (from history of WNC) Jesse is buried in the Mills River United Methodist Church cemetery with his second wife, Jane.
