W/D 21-387
X, 50. James J. RHODES,F.W.B.
Minister, well known in Jones & Lenoir Co.
records indicate he married
numerous couples. Instrumental in the forming
of the Tuckahoe F.W.B. Church,
& then holding together the Baptist during
the split of that church. The
clerk of the church at that time wrote of
him in a record book, after the
split, as he began preaching in private
homes in 1862, " God had been with
him, for his labors had been blessed
even beyond his expectations." In 1865
he propossed to a few of his
scattered sheep of the old flock that was
without a shepard, along with a
few lambs he had gathered that they meet at
Pleasant Hill Meeting House,
which they did & constituted on 11 Sept. 1865,
The Plesant Hill F.W.B.
Church. He became the first pastor, & was re-elected
time and again. He
represented the Church in the Baptist Association for
years. Afterwards,
he led the church in an attempt to obtain a building at
Tuckahoe
crossroads which is believed to be what is now Great Branch F.W.B.
Church,
or Whaleys Chapel. Although I have not been able to find out who his
1st.
wife was, it is family tradition that she was Indian. It has been passed
down the family by word of mouth, and now and then it shows up with in his
descendants, it has only showed up through the decendants of his first
born,
Levi J. RHODES. It was said she was CHEROKEE, but my belief is she
was
Tuscarora.

Hi, I was born and raised in northern Indiana and have spent much of my life here. I have been interested in genealogy for over twenty years and I am still learning and feel I have a lot to learn. I am a member of the Society of the Descendants of Washington Army at Valley Forge, also a member and a past chapter president the Son of the American Revolution. When at home you will usually find me in front of the computer looking for dead relations and communicating with the living ones.
