• Notes

  From Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Rock, Green, Grant, Iowa and Lafayette Wisconsin, publ. 1901 - page 814-815 Nicholas RHOADES. . .was a native of England, but having cast his fortunes with the American Colonies, he assisted in the struggle for liberty, and became one of the trusted soldiers of the Revolutionary war, serving under Gen. Washington, and enduring the hardships of that terrible winter at Valley Forge. He was the father of five children, three daughters and two sons, the sons being John W. and Walter. Must have been very young while serving as a ferrier in Lee's Legion (Col. Light Horse Harry Lee's Legion). Prior to Clifton, the family resided in Montgomery County, MD, very near (or on) the Frederick County line. They resided near the small town of Hyattstown. On a map you can quickly locate it along the main road midway between Frederick and Washington on the Montgomery/Frederick County line.[3] He applied for his military pension on 5 Jan 1829. At that time he was residing in Miami Township, Green County, Ohio and was about 68 years old. A note in his file says: "In 1806 he was a resident of Montgomery County, Maryland." Col. Lee wrote two notes, to help Nicholas prove his service in the war which are included in his file. From "http://miamitownship.net/cemetary.asp" Clifton-Union Cemetary Tanyard Road, Clifton HISTORY OF THE CLIFTON-UNION CEMETARY Summarized from an article by Ms. Julie Overton, October 1978 Soon after the Clifton (Cliffside) Presbyterian Church was organized on the third Sunday in August 1811, a log structure was built to hold church services in. This log building was located on the hill over the present cemetery vault, about 50 feet north of General Whitman
