The Back Rhodes of Our Genealogy

I am trying to trace my Father's family. They lived in and around the bootheel of Missouri. My Father Curtis Quentin Rhodes was born in 1918 to William J (Jefferson i think) Rhodes (who died around 1925.. Wife Cora Alice Myers. There were 8 kids I think... Earl Eric Warren Ora and I can't remember the rest. I think his Father was Samuel J Rhodes 1841 to 1919 Married to Susanah J Kirkpatrick (1851-1915) but not sure then there is Eli Rhodes maybe father of Samuel Not sure he belongs at all. Then I cant find anything. I was always told my Father was Irish (black Irish with coal Black hair and sky blue eyes) and my Grandmother Cora also Irish... I cant find anything to substantiate this I know there were Rhodes family in Ireland but I cant make a connection. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

In reading some of the text, it said that the township of Merry Hill was named for the Rhodes Plantation....which is false....Merry Hill was the name of Thomas Ashburn's Plantation in 1775, ..He willed it to his son William...I'm sure the Plantation was sold because by 1830 their were no Ashburn's living in Bertie or surrounding areas.

Hello, I am David Q. Rhodes (B 1972), a descendant of Lewis Irwin Rhodes and Pearl Hinzman it may be in the WV tree he died in Ohio. Their son Warren H. Rhodes and Evelyn M. (Scott) Rhodes were my mother and father. I have 2 children, Caroline VG Rhodes (B 1996) and Carter Jay Rhodes(B 2010).

I am a descendant of William Rhodus (b. 1791-d.1852 MS) and have been researching for his parents for about two years now. I am posting because after studying naming patterns in my particular Rhodus family, I believe his father’s name should be one of the following:
1. William Wesley Rhodus (Rhodes)
2. Wesley Rhodus (Rhodes)
3. William Rhodus (Rhodes)

If you have an idea what Rhodus/Rhodes family my William Rhodus (1791-1852) might belong to, please feel free to email me at: danielverret98(at)yahoo.com. I found United States Federal Census Records that indicate he was born in South Carolina, North Carolina and Kentucky. So, any help or information about his possible parents will be greatly appreciated!

Hi y'all, Just wanted to add another RHOADES entry that seems to be missing from this site. It is:

Samuel RHOADES, born 18 Dec about 1826, in Pennsylvania, maybe Lykens Valley, Dauphin County, also lived in Schuylkill County, married at least twice, first to Lucy/Lucita GABLE/DeFREHN in the 1840s, then to Rebecca E. RICHARDS in 1868, possibly to a Susanna UNKNOWN in between.

Had a dozen children in Pennsylvania and Nebraska, where he moved the family in 1878. Died 4 Jan 1910, Waterloo, Douglas County, NE.

Please contact me if you have any related interest at ftoewe<at>austin.rr.com. Cheers.

My 4th great grandfather was Christian Rhodes (1760-1848) of clarion county PA. Married to Susannah Shafer and then Elizabeth nulf. He's my brick wall, other parts of my family I can trace back to the 1500's, the Rhodes side ends with him. Would love to find his ancestry.

my 3rd great grandmother was Barbara Elizabeth Rhoades born 1817 Pennsylvania - she married David Walter/s. They had a son named Joseph Rhoades Walters. She died in Beale/Juniata County Pennsylvania. Any help direction would be appreciated.
Also -I am a direct descendant of Hans Graf - Jacok Graf was my 10th great grandfather. Fronica was my 7th great grandmother.
