Notes - In the 1850 Federal Census, Rhoda (Brightman) Ellsbree is age 77, living at Fall River, MA, with Samuel R. Brightman and family. This could be her nephew or son-in-law. There are several other Brightman families nearby.
Rhoda Elsbree died at Fall River on 24 Aug 1854 at age 81 y 1 m. She died of "old age." The death record identifies her parents as "Henry & Maria," no other surname or maiden name given (Fall River Vol.84: Pg.67). I found Rhoda's maiden name on several trees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.
Her gravestone says she died on 23 Aug 1854.
