I'm sorry, Joyce, I didn't make myself clear. I meant that Wm B, son of Peter and Letha, had a daughter, Mary, born in 1879.

I've been looking in the censuses for Alberts. in 1880, there were 3 in Jackson and one in Roane Co. Albert A, son of James C M and Anne, Albert B, son of John W and Ann, and Albert who was living with Charles Shinn and listed as 'other' in Jackson and Albert W, son of John W and Lucinda in Roane. I suspect the 3rd one in Jackson was a duplicate of either A or B. There are only 2 in 1870, Albert A and Albert W, but B was listed as Baxter. They were born within 2 years of each other, with Albert Baxter being the oldest by 3 months. Albert A was 2 years younger. It looks like Albert Baxter was always listed as Albert B or simply Baxter.

I found Albert A and Sarah in 1900:
1900 Braxton Co WV Kanawha Dist
Rhodes, A A 6/1860 m 17y
Sarah C 9/1863 9-5 children
Mary A 8/1884
Minnie G 3/1888
Donia/Dovia S 6/1890
Viola D 5/1893
Beddie A 3/1895

Albert M is at home in 1880, but not with his parents in 1900. In 1900, I find an Albert M Rhodes, b 7/1859 in Virginia, in Rock Island Co, ILL. He's a carpenter and listed as 'partner', married 11 years but there's no wife listed. He's at the top of the page, and the page before is smeared and black and impossible for me to read, so I can't tell who his partner/s are, but the HOH is from Ohio, and is a wheelwright.

I went back and checked 1880 again, and the only Alberts are all in Jackson and Roane counties - none in VA. Considering the birthdate matches, I'd say this is the son of John and Lucinda.

Since I can't find any other Rhodes male with a name starting with an A, I am going to assume that Baxter was the man who married Minnie Parsons in 1893. She has to be the daughter of Joel and Emma Parsons who were living in Mason Co in 1880.

Anyone got any better idea?

Oh, Betty,

I have the Albert Rhodes md to Sarah Caroline Cobb d/o John Ashley Cobb & Mary Elizabeth Holcomb. I don't have parents for that Albert Rhodes.

Miles Herbert and Teresa Consae "Tessie" Rhodes Tolley are John W. & Ann Elizabeth "Eliza" Rhodes children and their Albert Baxter's siblings. How do we figure out who the other two Albert go with? It is enough to drive you nuts.

Peter married Elizabeth Wilson in 1869 so Letha must have passed away by then. Are you sure of the 1879 b. date for Mary C.

Who are Miles and Tessie?

I just found another daughter for (Peter & Letha's) Wm B and Mary, in both the birth and death records:
Mary C born and died 1879, age 1m 1d, born Bear Fork, died Tug Fork

I think my head is going to explode!

I have James and Anna's son as Albert A and married to Sarah Cobb in Roane Co, 2/8/1883. Jackson Co Births show: Rhodes, Albert A, 6/28/1860, I.C.M. & Anna Rhodes, Jackson Co, farmer

Who are Miles and Tessie?

Ok i have got it right now but you guess for a while then i will tell the Sons name is Daniel Webster Rhodes he married Della May Hite. You all keep Guessing on this i will tell you all tomorrow evening. I spoke to his Daughter and she told me who his dad was.

Joyce,

Of course! Duh!!! It only says Alma GAY to confuse me. Emmet and Rebecca had a 12th child, Cora Ethel, 5/18/1911, Roane Co. I have Emmet as the son of Preston Isaiah and Amanda Jane Tolley Rhodes.

I see I don't have parents for Emmit. I see one married a Anderson :). She married Ralph at the Harmony Baptist Church. She is with Emmet & Rebecca's 11 children in the 1910 Roane Co Censu WCP Harper District.

You can see them in the census with Albert and Barbara. I just have the first names of Lafe's wife and Berts'. Lafe's from the census and obit and Berts from the census.

Joyce,

There is only one birth record that I have found in Jackson County and it's for Lafe, but it's a delayed record, so that doesn't prove anything, including whether the date is accurate! However, in 1910, they are listed as separate boys and in 1930, there are still two of them.

I got Vada's marriage, it's Vilena's I was asking about. I suppose I could complain about them giving them V names but it's probably better than Sarah or Mary. :)

In the 1860 census, Peter and Letha had a son with a name that started with a B, age 10. It looks like Bnsin or Brisin, almost like the enumerator didn't understand what was said and didn't want to ask again. Or the person who transcribed from his sheets to the book had a problem reading the writing - all that stuff that you've run into a zillion times. I am assuming, at the risk of being wrong for the first time in my life [of course I'm joking!], that this child was William Bennett who someone told me was called Benty. I have 2 marriages for him, but cannot find him in the 1880 census.

I need to study it but I think Lake and Lafe are the same. Vada Jane married Thomas Jackson Phares Jan 21. 1928 in Braxton Co. according to William's earlier posting. You can see them in the census with Albert and Barbara. I just have the first names of Lafe's wife and Berts'. Lafe's from the census and obit and Berts from the census.

Betty wrote:Thanks for Lafe's obit. Is that the one you meant or do you have one for Lake as well? Do you know who Lafe married? Or Vilena?

Do you have Albert in 1920? I searched for every name in the family and found no one. Maybe they were moving or maybe Ancestry is missing that page, too.

He (Albert) was the brother that my dad said moved to Braxton Co. Lafe came back to Jackson Co in the end. Wonder if Albert & Barbara are buried at Little Birch too?

Oh Betty,

I'm confusing my Raines. Here is the obit.

Ava L. Rhodes Raines
Ava L. Rhodes Raines 96, of Kenna was called home to be with the Lord Dec. 9, 2001 at Jackson General Hospital, Ripley. She was born February 23, 1905 at Belgrove, a daughter of the late Matt and Ora Dell Parsons Rhodes. She was a housewife and a member of the Warren Chapel United Methodist Church. She loved to quilt with the lades aide at the church.
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Dallas Raines, a daughter, Gay Lucille Raines; two brothers Delbert and Denver Rhodes; and two sister Alma Whited and Amy Stine.
She is survied by her sons, Donald Raines of Kenna, Lee Raines of Sissonville; daughter Carol McKemy of Kenna, Loraine Stogdon of South Charleston; brother Densil Rhodes of Ripley; sister, Ima Anderson, Geraldine Willard both of Charleston, Gladys Jones of Gandeeville, Iva Critchfield of Belgrove; eight grandchildren, twenty-one greatgrandchildren; and two great great grandaughters.
Service will be 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12 at Parson-Waybright Funeral Home, Ripley with ReV. Larry R. Jones Officiating. Burial will be at the Fairplain Cemetery. Friends may call from 2-4 p.m. and 6-9 p.m. Tueday at the funeral home.

The Alma Rhodes that married Ralph Raines (William Ralph but must have gone by his middle name to drive us nuts) was the daughter of Emmit Rhodes & Rebecca Hawkins. I see I don't have parents for Emmit. I see one married a Anderson :). She married Ralph at the Harmony Baptist Church. She is with Emmet & Rebecca's 11 children in the 1910 Roane Co Censu WCP Harper District.

Thanks, Joyce! Ancestry seems to be missing some chunks of different censuses - mostly the ones I want. :)

Alma has to the the child who was listed as Delpha in the birth records. I find a marriage for Alma Gay Rhodes, 21, Roane, to Ralph Raines, 23, Roane, in Roane Co, 15 June 1929. Is this her?

Also one for Inel Rhodes, 19, Roane to Ross Carpenter, 20, Roane in Roane Co, 10 Sept 1929.

1930 Roane Co WV Curtis Dist # 59-59 [all WV]
Carpenter, Ross 20
Ivol, wife 19

Could this be Emma I?

And a marriage in Jackson Co - is this Gordon's or another Ora?

Yes, Joyce, I found his birth record in Roane Co. He seems to have been born in Spencer. All the others except Ava and Geraldine were recorded in Jackson Co, and I could have missed them if they were recorded under a different name.

Thanks for Lafe's obit. Is that the one you meant or do you have one for Lake as well? Do you know who Lafe married? Or Vilena? 

Do you have Albert in 1920? I searched for every name in the family and found no one. Maybe they were moving or maybe Ancestry is missing that page, too.
