The Revolution - page 127
"Armed with flint lock muskets of small bore and with long barrelled rifles
which they loaded from the muzzle by the use of the ramrod, equipped with
powder horn, charges made of cane for loading, bullet molds and wadding, but
bravely arrayed in homespun of blue, and belted with cutlass and broadsword
by the side, cocade on the hat and courage in the heart, her revolutionary
soldiers marched to the music of fife and drum into battle for freedom
against the powers and might of the mother country."
Nelson County,Ky the place to which my Rhodes ancestor, Basil, moved seems
to have pretty good records.
I expect to obtain a copy of Basil Rhodes will some time soon. As you can
see, he married twice. Thomas was evidently son of the first wife whose name
I have not found.
The following material came from James William Cantley who began collecting
data on the family in endeavor to trace back as far as possible. The
relationship to the Rhodes family comes through Elizabeth Rhodes Booth whose
second husband was Squire Owens Bridewell.
Elizabeth Rhodes was the daughter of Basil Rhodes.
Mrs. Sarah Milligan Rhodes, widow of Thomas Rhodes died in Oct,1853 of
yellow fever age 65. (on tomb stone in Wintergreen Cemetery, Port Gibson,
MS)[ She was evidently living then with her son-in-law Squire Owens
Bridewell. We have not found any death notice or grave for Thomas Rhodes. He
did spend some time in near-by Carroll County. There are record books in
Carroll which contain a great deal of information but they were totally
unorganized when we visited them in 2000. ]
