Never mind. After a little research, I found this:
Benjamin NETHERLAND (Sr.) - b. 28 Feb 1755 in Powhatan County, Virginia and died on 10 Oct 1838 in Nicholasville, Jessamine County, Kentucky…married Thedocia BRAMLETTE on 18 Feb 1788 in Charlotte, Surry County, North Carolina.
So apparently, the census spells her name Theadocia Netherland, the 80 year old widow of Benjamin Netherland.
