Kneeland, Dolly L., 1800-1871.

Dolly was the fourth and last wife of Abner Kneeland. She married James Rice in 1820 and had four children by the marriage. A year after James's death in 1833 she married Abner Kneeland during the controversy and trials associated with the blasphemy charges against Kneeland. Dolly shared much of Abner Kneeland's prison time with him. Abner and Dolly had three children, two of whom were born after the couple moved to Iowa in 1839 to establish Salubria. Following Abner's death in 1844 she lived with various children. At the time of her death she was residing with a daughter in Keokuk.
