Anthony & Rhoda apparently were neighbors of Andrew Jackson - here is an excerpt from a webpage: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~clopton/sewing.htm
In 1804, thirty seven year old Anthony Clopton, left the ranks of bachelorhood behind and married into one of the wealthiest families in the area, the Hoggatts of “Clover Bottom” Farm. “Rhody” Hoggatt moved with ease through the glittering world of antebellum Nashville and brought to the marriage a level of sophistication not always in evidence at what was still a rough and tumble frontier.
Social life at Clover Bottom revolved around church, parties, and the race track; not necessarily in that order. Now horse racing was serious business, and no where on earth did appreciation for the sport transcend those of the Clover Bottom folk. Anthony Clopton and his neighbors were members of the Clover Bottom Jockey Club, the hub of Tennessee horse racing for many years. Among its members was one Andrew Jackson. General Jackson was particularly devoted to the “sport of Kings,” and never missed an opportunity to match his renowned horses against all comers.

Based on the above census from 1850, there would seem to be an error on his grave marker - he didn't die in 1848 and it would appear he was living with his daughter Virginia Lane in 1850, so I would think it more likely he died at her home.
Died at the home of his dau Elizabeth (Mrs. Frank A. Owens)
Buried Clopton Cemetery, Clopton, Tipton Co, TN along with wife Rhoda - there is a memorial stone.
