Eleanor Butcher Dick likely died between 1844 and 1850, because her youngest child, America Dick, was born about 1844. By 1860 her husband, John Joseph Dick, had remarried to Catherine. On the 1860 census John Joseph Dick and Catherine have several children: 17-yr-old Frances, 11-yr-old Rhoda, 10-yr-old Benjamin, 8-yr-old Ballard, 6-yr-old Spurlock, 4-yr-old Margaret, 3-yr-old Henry J., and 1-yr-old Catherine Dick. Because the eldest child, Frances, would have been born around 1843 (around the same time that Eleanor's daughter, America Dick was born, it is possible that Frances was a daughter from Catherine’s previous marriage). The 6-year gap between the two eldest children listed on the 1860 census (in addition to the very close spacing of all of the rest of the children), might also support the idea that Frances may not have been the biological daughter of John Joseph Dick. Assuming that 11-yr-old Rhoda Dick was the first child of John Joseph Dick and Catherine, we might estimate that John and Catherine were married sometime around 1847 to 1849. (And on the 1850 census Eleanor is not listed, and her children are living with several different families in Cabell County, Virginia). So it is likely that Eleanor died between 1844 and 1850.
*Note: throughout all of my research so far, Frances J. Dick lists her father as Joseph Dick. I have not been able to definitively prove or disprove if Joseph Dick was her biological father or not, but from census records it seems that he raised her and was considered her father. From the lack of evidence proving otherwise, I have listed her as a child of Joseph Dick and Catherine Cook in my genealogy file and will leave it that way unless I find other sources in the future that show otherwise.

Catherine was the second wife of John Joseph Dick, following the death of John Joseph Dick’s first wife, Eleanor Butcher. According to
1850 census: Katherine (age 30) and Joseph (age 50) Dick living in Boone County, Virginia with children: Frances J age 7, and Rhoda A age 0
1850 census: Catherine (40 yr) and Hiram (39 yrs) Cremeans living in Cabell County, Virginia with children: Lewis age 18, Cyntha age 15, Minta age 13, Cathrin age 11, Hiram age 9, Wesley age 7, William age 5, and Burton age 2
1860 census: Catherine (age 40) and Joseph (age 60) Dick living in Cabell County, Virginia with children: Frances age 17, Rhoda age 11, Benjamin age 10, Ballard age 8, Spurlock age 6, Margaret age 4, Henry J age 3, and Catherine age 1
1860 census: Catharine (age 49) and Hiram (age 48) Cremeans living in Wayne County, Virginia with children: Cynthia age 23, Minta age 21, Catharine age 20, Hiram age 18, Wesley age 16, William age 14, and Burten age 12

From what we know so far, in 1840 Joseph and Eleanor Dick’s family would have consisted of:
John Joseph Dick, age 40
Eleanor Butcher Dick, age 37
David Dick, age 16
Notley T. Dick, age 15
Andrew Jackson Dick, age 13
Reuben Dick, age 10
(possibly) Polly Dick, age 9 (or a baby)
Lafayette Dick, age 8
Morris Dick, age 4
Mary Dick, age 3
(possibly) Joseph Dick, age 3 (or not yet born)

Because "Boone County was formed from an act of the Virginia General Assembly on March 11, 1847 from Cabell, Kanawha, and Logan counties," it is possible that John Joseph Dick never moved from his previous home in Cabell County, Virginia, but that the county boundaries were just changed around him??? (Not sure if he moved or not).
