Living with him is his second w 1 CONC ife, Elizabeth Washom Scott Gray. John says he is 80 years old and was bo 1 CONC rn in North Carolina. 1 CONT 1 CONT John Gray inherited his father's, William Gray's, land on the Catawba riv 1 CONC er in Burke Co., North Carolina on June 5, 1790. But he moves to Rockingh 1 CONC am Co., Virginia before 1801, where he marries Mary Ann Trumbo in Novemb 1 CONC er 17, 1801. 1 CONT 1 CONT John and Mary Trumbo Gray were allegedly the first settlers in the Springv 1 CONC ille, Perry Twp., Lawrence Co., Indiana area. John Gray was a reknown hunt 1 CONC er and an accomplished gunsmith. Apparently early in life he had been a ca 1 CONC ttle driver in western Pennsylvania. 1 CONT 1 CONT A family tradition is that John Gray fought in the Battle of Tippecanoe du 1 CONC ring the War of 1812, but no official military documents confirm this. 1 CONT 1 CONT According to Collier's "History of Lawrence, Orange and Washington Countie 1 CONC s, Indiana, John "came to Lawrence Co. in the fall of 1815 from Kentucky a 1 CONC nd built a cabin not far from the present site of Springville...In the fol 1 CONC lowing spring, he went back after his family, which he brought to his fore 1 CONC st home in Indiana." 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1973, the Indiana Junior Historical Society published a booklet entitle 1 CONC d, "John Gray, Hunter, Pioneer; First Settler of Springville, Indiana, Law 1 CONC rence County. Many facts and stories are in this booklet, among them the f 1 CONC ollowing: 1 CONT 1 CONT "The Indian and The Bear Hunt" 1 CONT 1 CONT "Indians were planning an attack...in North Carolina. The alarm spread a 1 CONC nd a company of militia went into the Indian country with John Gray as a s 1 CONC cout. Tey searched for a few days without finding any Indians. 1 CONT 1 CONT "One rainy morning Gray and several militiamen sat in the opening of a te 1 CONC nt oiling theri rifles and playing cards. Gray happened to look up from h 1 CONC is task and saw an Indian approaching. When the Indian was about a hundr 1 CONC ed feet away, Gray raised the empty gun as if to shoot. The Indian stoppe 1 CONC d, raised his hand to his breast, and called, 'Caw.' 1 CONT 1 CONT "The soldiers, in alarm, jumped up, scattering the cards all over the ten 1 CONC t. Gray told the Indian that he was in no danger and invited him into t 1 CONC he tent. A very long conversation followed. The Indian assured the party t 1 CONC hat his tribe was not on the warpath, and that the whole rumor was one b 1 CONC ig mistake. The soldiers readily believed him. 1 CONT 1 CONT "The Indian noted that Gray was a hunter and told him he knew where to hu 1 CONC nt bears. A solder in the party was also interested, so the next morning t 1 CONC he three men, unbeknownst to the commanding officer quietly sneaked from t 1 CONC he camp, taking their horses and some pack animals. 1 CONT 1 CONT "The Indian led them for about a day into the mountain valley, a spot we 1 CONC ll known to him, and they pitched camp. The next day, the killing of the b 1 CONC ears commenced. The hunters soon had enough hides and bear meat to load a 1 CONC ll of the horses to the limit. 1 CONT 1 CONT "The party returned to camp and found the company alarmed as to their safe 1 CONC ty. Their comrades gladly welcomed the hunters back. They had plenty of fr 1 CONC esh meat on hand and everyone was satisfied." 1 CONT 1 CONT Another story... 1 CONT 1 CONT It is said that when they came to Lawrence Co., it was so remote that Jo 1 CONC hn Gray never expected to have any neighbors and Mary Trumbo Gray did n 1 CONC ot see the face of another white woman for two years. 1 CONT 1 CONT "It seems at first, Gray did not have any idea to establish a permanent ho 1 CONC me...Gray built what he called a camp. He sat saplins in the ground f 1 CONC ro an outside fram. Connecting these were more saplings running horizontal 1 CONC ly. They were tied to the frame with buckskin or hickory withes. The fra 1 CONC me he weather-boarded with deerskins. In a similar way he put on a roof wi 1 CONC th polies and skins. The use of nails was out of the question. There we 1 CONC re none. The only nails used in the settlements in the south were ma 1 CONC de by local blacksmiths, and there were not many of them (in Indiana at t 1 CONC he time). Gray may have used some wooden pins to hold the structure togeth 1 CONC er, but that is just a guess. Just how well it resisted rain and wind we a 1 CONC re not told. John Gray had been among the Indians a good deal and, no doub 1 CONC t, had learned much from the Indians about making a warm, dry shelter. 1 CONT 1 CONT "There was a little beech tree not far from the front of the Gray ("camp 1 CONC ") house. John Gray trimmed away the small branches and used the larger o 1 CONC nes to hang the hides of deer and bear. The little boys would throw the he 1 CONC ads and horns of the animals into the top of the tree. Soon the tree w 1 CONC as a mass of horns and hides. 1 CONT 1 CONT "One day Mary and the children were surprised to see a party of India 1 CONC ns at their home. The party stopped at the beech tree and looked at its tr 1 CONC ophies of the hunt. Then they formed a circle around the tree and began a. 1 CONC ..dance. It was a dance to honor the great white hunter. When it was compl 1 CONC eted, the Indians quietly vanished into the forest. This dance was repeat 1 CONC ed from time to time as long as there were any Indians in the country. 1 CONT 1 CONT "How long the Grays lived in the camp (house), we do not know. However, Ma 1 CONC ry Gray wanted a real home. John Gray went back to North Carolina and brou 1 CONC ght back a young hunter nameed Zack Dix. These two experienced woodsman bu 1 CONC ilt a substantial cabin--one that lasted the Gray family for many years. ( 1 CONC Note: John and Mary Trumbo Gray's daugher Dorothy would later marry a Nath 1 CONC an Dix.) 1 CONT 1 CONT Gray also brought back from North Carolina some razorback hogs. There we 1 CONC re enough acorns and beechnuts in the woods to fatten the hogs. But the ho 1 CONC gs brought a new problem. The Grays liked pork for a change of meat--a 1 CONC nd so did the bears! 1 CONT 1 CONT "One day Mary Gray heard a big squeal. She ran to the "branch" and there s 1 CONC he saw a pig in the embrace of a bear. She quickly raised the alarm. Joh 1 CONC n, the boys, and the dogs came on the run and killed the bear. Gray and t 1 CONC he boys alsway kept a rifle with them in the clearing. After this first be 1 CONC ar adventure, whenever Mary heard a pig squeal, she would fire the rifle t 1 CONC hat was now kept at the house. John, the boys and the dogs would rush to t 1 CONC he house and kill the bear. The dogs quickly learned the signal. Whenev 1 CONC er they heard the report of the gun, they rushed for the cabin. They wou 1 CONC ld have the bear up a tree by the time the hunters arrived for the kill... 1 CONC We don't know how many bears were killed in the way, but it is an assur 1 CONC ed fact that the pigs outlasted the bears!" 1 CONT 1 CONT "The Farewell" 1 CONT 1 CONT "There came a time when the Indians visited the Gray cabin for another pur 1 CONC pose other than giving a hunting dance around the tree decked with hides a 1 CONC nd antlers. They seated themselves in a circle in front of the cabin and i 1 CONC nvited John and Mary Gray to join them. Then the cheif lighted his pipe a 1 CONC nd drew on it. He then handed it to Gray who took a puff. It was then pass 1 CONC ed to Mary Gray who also drew lightly on the smoke. It was then passed aro 1 CONC und the circle. In a few minutes the chief rose, gathered his blanket arou 1 CONC nd him, and strode toward the forest. One by one the other Indians follow 1 CONC ed in a single file. 1 CONT 1 CONT "The Grays did not understand the meaning of the visit and there was nobo 1 CONC dy to enlighten them. But after that, there were never any Indians se 1 CONC en in the locality. The ceremony was a farewell visit to the great hunter. 1 CONC " 1 CONT 1 CONT Editor's Note: The word Indian is used throughout the text, as it is in t 1 CONC he booklet. This editor resisted the temptation to change it to Native Ame 1 CONC rican(s). 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT John Gray was married twice, the second time to Elizabeth Washom Scott, t 1 CONC he widow of Henry Scott and the mother of Phoebe Scott Gray, wife of John 1 CONC 's son Ephraim. This second marriage may have been icy, as Elizabeth immed 1 CONC iately relinquishes her dower rights to John's property within a month aft 1 CONC er he dies. Also, John does not mention his daughter by Elizabeth, Marth 1 CONC a, in his will (although this daughter may have been dead before John di 1 CONC es on November 10, 1857). Moreover, John only gives his "imputed" son by E 1 CONC lizabeth, John Ransom Gray, $10 from his estate.

William Gray and his family lived in Burke County, No 1 CONC rth Carolina, which is near the border of South Carolina. There were fo 1 CONC ur children born: three boys and one girl. Only one of the names of the ch 1 CONC ildren is known, and that is John. William Gray was a farmer or plantati 1 CONC on owner and owned slaves, who worked on his plantation. 1 CONT 1 CONT William Gray fought in the Revolutionary War. He enlisted in 1777 as a pri 1 CONC vate in the First North Carolina Regiment under Colonel Thomas Clark. Will 1 CONC iam Gray was killed in the battle of Kings Mountain, fought at Charlott 1 CONC e, South Carolina on 17 October 1780 between 1100 British and 1000 Americ 1 CONC an soldiers or "backwoodsmen," as they were called. The British losses we 1 CONC re 250 killed and 664 taken prisoner. The American losses were 28 killed a 1 CONC nd 60 wounded. 1 CONT 1 CONT The following is the story of the battle of Kings Mountain, as told by a g 1 CONC randson, William Gray, to his grandchildren, Lilly Wattles and her brothe 1 CONC rs and sisters: 1 CONT 1 CONT "After William Gray went to the war, the British Tories came to his hom 1 CONC e, took the shoes from his wife Lydia's feet, cut out the piece she was we 1 CONC aving from the loom, and drove off all her cattle, horses, and other stoc 1 CONC k; they also took her five slaves. All this time her three boys stood b 1 CONC y, too little to help their mother when a man lashed her with a big wh 1 CONC ip as she remonstrated; but they vowed that when they were men they wou 1 CONC ld find this man and give him back blow for blow. The Tories left Lydia Gr 1 CONC ay only one little crippled mare her husband kept to raise colts, one of w 1 CONC hom he rode away to battle. After the battle this horse found his way ba 1 CONC ck home, but his brave rider lay sleeping at Kings Mountain. 1 CONT 1 CONT "Lydia Gray's patriotic neighbors arose, took her stock away from the Tori 1 CONC es who had it, and gave her slaves back to her. They gave this Tory warni 1 CONC ng to leave the county in so many days, which he was glad to do. After t 1 CONC he news of her husband's death came, Lydia Gray lost her mind and was sh 1 CONC ut up in one of those old cabins for a time, maybe months, maybe years; h 1 CONC er neighbors bringing her food and caring for her children. After a time s 1 CONC he recovered her mind, gathered her children together, and went on livin 1 CONC g. One little girl had been taken by a family who had no children, and th 1 CONC ey begged to keep her and were allowed to do so. (We have often speculat 1 CONC ed about this child.)" 1 CONT 1 CONT Other documentary records of William Gray are: 1 CONT 1 CONT 1. War Department Records at Washington, D.

Census of 1790 of North Carolina, Burke County, which shows: 1 CONT 1 CONT "Lydia Gray, the family consisting of three males, two females and five sl 1 CONC aves." (This was the only Gray family listed in Burke County, North Caroli 1 CONC na. There were no other Grays in North Carolina.) 1 CONT 1 CONT HOWEVER... 1 CONT 1 CONT On a trip to the Burke Co., North Carolina library in November, 2003, docu 1 CONC ments were obtained that cited William Gray as a Tory: 1 CONT 1 CONT (Letter to Dr. Robert Rhode of Northern Kentucky University) 1 CONT 1 CONT Dear Bob: 1 CONT 1 CONT William Gray the first probably did die at the Battle of King’s Mountain-- 1 CONC fighting for the British. Yep, Dave and I uncovered compelling evidence th 1 CONC at William I was a Tory. 1 CONT 1 CONT Lydia may have been accosted all right, but it was most likely by the Patr 1 CONC iots in the area. 1 CONT 1 CONT Evidence includes William’s biographical page from "Revolutionary War Sold 1 CONC iers of Western Carolina: Vol. 2, Burke County", pg. 125, which has bi 1 CONC os on Tories and Patriots from the county; and a page 95-97 from Vol. V 1 CONC I, #4 of the Burke Co.

Also on this li 1 CONC st are Greenberry and William, James, John and Spencer Wilson, John Bradsh 1 CONC aw, Nathan Burchfield, Edward, Seth and Hezekiah Hyatt and Edward Leatherw 1 CONC ood—all seem to be neighbors of William and Lydia.

Lyda is cited as “formerly of this county.” It se 1 CONC ems that she did die in 1820-21 in Heywood Co., NC. 1 CONT 1 CONT It seems from other pages garnered from "Revolutionary War Soldiers of Wes 1 CONC tern Carolina" that the area where William lived on the Catawba River w 1 CONC as a Tory hotbed. By the way, the area where his land was on the north si 1 CONC de of the river is now in Caldwell Co. He also owned land on the south sid 1 CONC e, however, which seems to still be in Burke to this day. 1 CONT 1 CONT I am sending you copies via snail mail of this evidence. 1 CONT 1 CONT There is a small chance that William may have switched sides at the last m 1 CONC inute and that the Tory neighbors accosted Lydia because of this, but th 1 CONC is is a very small chance. 1 CONT 1 CONT Ann 1 CONT 1 CONT P.S. I know that Ephraim’s branch insists that Lydia’s maiden name was Ri 1 CONC chardson. However, the Wilson family (Greenberry Wilson) and the Fieldi 1 CONC ng Bradshaw family and the Burchfields may be related somehow to the Gray 1 CONC s. Two of the Bradshaws married Robinson sisters. Also, Nathan’s widow, “E 1 CONC berilla” or Arabella (according to the 1790 census) was a neighbor of Lydi 1 CONC a’s. The Bradshaw family named one of their daughters Lydia. Once sour 1 CONC ce in the library had Greenberry Wilson’s father as Ephraim Wilson. This d 1 CONC iffers from online sources, however. The Bradshaws were from Virginia; t 1 CONC he Wilsons and Leatherwoods from Baltimore Co., Maryland. 1 CONT 1 CONT There seem to be no Richardsons in Burke Co. at that time. 1 CONT 1 CONT According to Anna Louise Gray Handy, a descendant of Ephraim Gray, s 1 CONC on of John and Mary Ann Trumbo Gray and grandson of William and Lydia Rich 1 CONC ardson Gray, William and Lydia had at least ten children, nine sons and o 1 CONC ne daughter. Eight of the sons settled in the South, while John and Mary A 1 CONC nn Trumbo Gray migrated to Indiana. 1 CONT 1 CONT Mrs. Handy may have gotten her information from a biography of her grandfa 1 CONC ther Dr. John Wesley Gray, M.D. in the "Green Co. Biographical Memoires, V 1 CONC ol. 2 (of 3) (pg. 492-496), printed in 1908. In this tome, the author, Ma 1 CONC ry Lou Wiles, interviewed Dr. Gray, who told her his great-great-grandfath 1 CONC er, named John in the book, died in the Revolutionary War "at the Batt 1 CONC le of Cowpens."

Ellis Rhode relates this incident, as to 1 CONC ld by William and Lydia Richardson Gray's grandson, William to his own gra 1 CONC ndchild, Lilly Wattles (Elizabeth Gray Wattles, William Gray, John, Willia 1 CONC m) and her siblings: 1 CONT 1 CONT "After William Gray went to the war, the Tories came to his home, took t 1 CONC he shoes from his wife Lydia's feet, cut the piece she was weaving from t 1 CONC he loom, drove off all her cattle, horses and other stock, they also to 1 CONC ok her five slaves. All this time her three boys stood by, too litt 1 CONC le to help their mother when they lashed her with a big whip as she remons 1 CONC trated...The Tories left Lydia Gray only one little crippled mare her husb 1 CONC and kept to raise colts, one of whom he rode away on to battle. After t 1 CONC he battle, this horse found his way back home, but his brave rider lay sle 1 CONC eping at King's Mountain. 1 CONT 1 CONT Lydia Gray's patriotic neighbors arose, took her stock away from the Tori 1 CONC es who had it, and her slaves back to her. They gave these Tories warni 1 CONC ng to leave the county in so many days, which they were glad to do. Aft 1 CONC er the news of her husband's death came, Lydia Gray lost her mind and w 1 CONC as shut up in one of these old cabins for a time, maybe months, maybe year 1 CONC s; her neighbors bringing her food and caring for her children. After a ti 1 CONC me, she recovered her mind, gathered her children together and went on liv 1 CONC ing. 1 CONT 1 CONT Nearly all of Lydia's children were returned to her, but the childless cou 1 CONC ple who had cared for her infant daughter begged to keep the girl, and Lyd 1 CONC ia allowed them to do so." 1 CONT 1 CONT Another branch of John Gray's family, through Floy Kroeplin, says that a y 1 CONC oung couple came to live with Lydia and her children during Lydia's breakd 1 CONC own. After Lydia recovered, the young couple begged Lydia to allow th 1 CONC em to have the little girl, Arabella. Lydia allowed them to do so, but f 1 CONC or how long no one knows. If this is true, Arabella knew who her mother w 1 CONC as anyway, as Lydia lived with her in her latter years. 1 CONT 1 CONT However, on the 1850 census, Arabella Gray Deaver Harrington says s 1 CONC he is 80 years old, which means she was about 10 years old when her fath 1 CONC er died, and could not be the infant daughter in question. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1790, Lydia Gray is enumerated in the Burke Co., North Carolina cens 1 CONC us (page 108 or 5 of 11 on Ancestry.com). Living with her are: two males o 1 CONC ver 16 (John and Ephraim); one male under 16 (William), and two other fema 1 CONC les (Arabella and ?). In the fourth column, which should be all other fr 1 CONC ee persons (meaning freed slaves) there is a five; however, for some reaso 1 CONC n, there is no column on that page for slaves. There is a possibility th 1 CONC at Lydia had five slaves. 1 CONT 1 CONT According to deed records, William Gray Sr.'s land was not inherited by so 1 CONC ns John and Ephaim until 1802. However, Lydia may have been living in Bunc 1 CONC ombe Co. by then, perhaps with her son, William Jr. Her daughter, Arabel 1 CONC la Gray Deaver, was a newlywed to Nathaniel Deaver and living in that coun 1 CONC ty in 1800. There is a William Gray, age 16-26 with a woman more than 45 y 1 CONC ears old in Buncombe Co. in 1800. This could very well be Lydia Richards 1 CONC on Gray. 1 CONT 1 CONT According to Ephraim's family branch, Lydia Richardson Gray died in Haywo 1 CONC od Co., North Carolina. This is supported by probate records. Some say s 1 CONC he died at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Wiliam and Arabella Gr 1 CONC ay Deaver Harrington, who had returned to Haywood Co. for a short time fr 1 CONC om Kentucky and Missouri. 1 CONT 1 CONT Lydia Gray probably died in early 1821 in Heywood Co., North Carolin 1 CONC a, as her son Ephraim Gray petitions to be the administrator of her esta 1 CONC te on June 26, 1821. (Heywood Co. Pleas and Quarter Sessions). The small p 1 CONC robate packet included an inventory of Lydia's possessions, dated Janua 1 CONC ry 1822. 1 CONT 1 CONT Also, the descendants of Ephraim Gray, John Gray's brother, maintain th 1 CONC at the former story is closer to the truth, that William and Lydia Richard 1 CONC son(?) Gray had more than four children, Arabella was older, and that the 1 CONC re was a younger daughter who was adopted by the other couple. Accordi 1 CONC ng to a 1908 biography of her great-grandson, Dr. John Wesley Gray of Bloo 1 CONC mfield, Greene Co., Indiana, William and Lydia had nine sons, eight of wh 1 CONC om settled in the Southern states and one, John, who came to (Lawrence Co. 1 CONC ), Indiana. The biography does not mention that William and Lydia had daug 1 CONC hters, but the family does know of one, Arabella; there were probably at l 1 CONC east two. 1 CONT 1 CONT New evidence arose in August 2006 that may explain the family story. Willi 1 CONC am and Lydia Richardson Gray had neighbors, brothers Nathan and Thomas Bur 1 CONC chfield. Nathan was one of the witnesses who claimed in court that Willi 1 CONC am Gray was a Tory, and Nathan himself was charged as one. Thomas and h 1 CONC is wife, Sarah Ligenwood Burchfield, were childless in 1780. After the W 1 CONC ar of 1812, a Lydia Burchfield Rose, widow of Jacob Rose, in a depositi 1 CONC on to obtain a War of 1812 pension, states in court that her father (unnam 1 CONC ed) died at the Battle of King's Mountain on October 7, 1783. Accordi 1 CONC ng to the Burchfield descendants, this doesn't apply to any of the Burchfi 1 CONC eld men--and some think she lied. However, it now seems plausible that Tho 1 CONC mas and Sarah Ligenwood Burchfield were the childless neighbors who adopt 1 CONC ed the youngest daughter of William and Lydia Richardson Gray--hence Lyd 1 CONC ia Burchfield. 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 0 @I0079@ INDI 1 NAME Jacob /Trumbo/ 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 SEX M 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1754 2 PLAC Augusta Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 DEAT 2 DATE 30 DEC 1841 2 PLAC Brock's Gap, Rockingham Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 FAMS @F0071@ 1 FAMS @F0074@ 1 FAMS @F0075@ 1 FAMC @F0076@ 0 @I0080@ INDI 1 NAME Elizabeth Moyer /Lair/ 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 SEX F 1 BIRT 2 DATE 5 APR 1754 2 PLAC Rockingham Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 DEAT 2 DATE ABT 1790 2 PLAC Rockingham Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 CHR 2 DATE 15 APR 1754 2 PLAC St. Michael's and Zion Church, Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania 1 FAMS @F0071@ 1 FAMC @F0077@ 1 NOTE @NI0080@ 0 @NI0080@ NOTE 1 CONC This Elizabeth Lair was a fifth cousin of the Elizabeth Lair who married C 1 CONC hristian Christopher Roadcap or Rothgeb and who was the mother of Barba 1 CONC ra Roadcap, wife of Daniel Nead Jr. and grandmother of Rebecca Nead Van Hu 1 CONC ss (Mrs. Joseph Powell Van Huss) on the Root side of the family. 0 @I0081@ INDI 1 NAME Hans Jacob /Trumbo/ 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 SEX M 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1714 2 PLAC Alsace, France 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 DEAT 2 DATE 1783 2 PLAC Rockingham Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 IMMI 2 DATE BET 1824 AND 1827 2 PLAC Came in the first wave of Palatine immigration to Pennsylvania 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 FAMS @F0076@ 1 FAMC @F0078@ 1 NOTE @NI0081@ 0 @NI0081@ NOTE 1 CONC Note that Hans Jacob and Mary LNU Trumbo's daughter Margaret, married a Jo 1 CONC hn Gray; he may be related to the John Gray who married Mary Ann Trumbo, t 1 CONC he daughter of their son and daughter-in-law, Jacob and Elizabeth Lair Tru 1 CONC mbo. 0 @I0082@ INDI 1 NAME Mary Dorothea /Kuster?/ 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 SEX F 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1718 2 PLAC Alsace, France or Rockingham Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 DEAT 2 DATE ABT 1785 2 PLAC Rockingham Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 FAMS @F0076@ 1 NOTE @NI0082@ 0 @NI0082@ NOTE 1 CONC Although Mary's maiden name is unknown at this time, some believe it may h 1 CONC ave been Kuster. 1 CONT 0 @I0083@ INDI 1 NAME Andrius Trumbore or /Trumbouger/ 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 SEX M 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1688 2 PLAC Alsace, France or Rhenish, Germany 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 DEAT 2 DATE ABT 1755 2 PLAC Augusta Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 IMMI 2 DATE BET 1624 AND 1627 2 PLAC Came in the first wave of Palatine immigration to Pennsylvania 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 FAMS @F0078@ 0 @I0084@ INDI 1 NAME Mary-Magdalena /Unknown/ 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 SEX F 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1692 2 PLAC Alsace, France 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 DEAT 2 DATE BEF 1755 2 PLAC Augusta Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 IMMI 2 PLAC Came in the first wave of Palatine immigration to Pennsylvania 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 FAMS @F0078@ 0 @I0085@ INDI 1 NAME Matthias /Lair/ 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 SEX M 1 BIRT 2 DATE NOV 1714 2 PLAC Otisheim, Wurrtemburg, Germany 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 DEAT 2 DATE 25 JUN 1787 2 PLAC Near Linville Creek, Rockingham Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 IMMI 2 DATE 1738 2 PLAC Came on the boat "Nancy" into Philadelphia during the Palatine immigrations 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 FAMS @F0077@ 1 FAMC @F0079@ 1 NOTE @NI0085@ 0 @NI0085@ NOTE 1 CONC Matthias Lair fought in the Revolutionary War (Virginia DAR National Numb 1 CONC er 555916.

Difficult economic conditions, brought about by continuous warfa 1 CONC re and heightened by several years of unusually severe weather in the ear 1 CONC ly 1700's, surely played a role in his decision, as did the ever-present t 1 CONC hreat of conscription for military service. 1 CONT 1 CONT Inheritance, or the lack of one, also may have been a factor. Matthias w 1 CONC as the sixth, and the last, child born to his father, Mattheus, the bak 1 CONC er of Otisheim, and his first wife, Anna Scheur. One older sister and t 1 CONC wo older brothers apparently reached adulthood. His mother died when Matt 1 CONC hias was but ten months old, and his father remarried seven months after h 1 CONC er death. Eight more children were born into the family, four of whom liv 1 CONC ed to adulthood. Matthias' father died in 1735. Given the laws of the d 1 CONC ay and the size of the family, any inheritance would have been meage 1 CONC r, at best, and certainly would not have provided for Matthias. 1 CONT 1 CONT It also is possible that Matthias was recruited by a "Neulander," or "so 1 CONC ul stealer," an immigrant broker who often worked for a shipping compan 1 CONC y, and who was paid a commission based on the number of immigrants he w 1 CONC as able to recruit. Many of the Neulanders worked the same villages ye 1 CONC ar after year, organizing meetings in inns and public houses to extol t 1 CONC he riches of the new land and signing contracts with potential immigran 1 CONC ts to transport them to the Colonies. The possibility that Matthias may h 1 CONC ave been recruited by such a broker is reinforced by the fact that the sh 1 CONC ip on which he sailed to America drew its passengers, almost exclusivel 1 CONC y, from Otisheim and surrounding villages for nearly twenty years 1 CONT 1 CONT For whatever reason, or combination of reasons, Matthias left Otisheim som 1 CONC etime in the early part of 1738, three years after the death of his fathe 1 CONC r. The first leg of his journey would have brought him to the banks of t 1 CONC he Rhine River, where he would have boarded a boat that would take him, al 1 CONC ong with other immigrants, to Rotterdam. The subsequent journey down t 1 CONC he Rhine would have been long and tedious, requiring six to ten weeks to c 1 CONC omplete, as the boat slowly traversed some twenty-two principalities alo 1 CONC ng the river, each with its own customs and toll house to be cleared. Up 1 CONC on reaching Rotterdam, Matthias would have been assigned, for a fee, a sma 1 CONC ll space in a local house near the wharves, there to await the ship that w 1 CONC ould take him to America. Sometime in June or July of 1738, he boarded t 1 CONC he Nancy, captained by Master William Wallace, and began the last pha 1 CONC se of his journey - first sailing to Dover, England, and continuing from t 1 CONC here to America. 1 CONT 1 CONT The voyage to America in the seventeenth century has long been consider 1 CONC ed lengthy, uncomfortable, and dangerous. Certainly, it was lengthy and u 1 CONC ncomfortable; danger is a matter of perspective. In actual fact, the gene 1 CONC ral mortality rate during those voyages was only slightly higher, for bo 1 CONC th adults and children, than the mortality rate the immigrants would ha 1 CONC ve faced had they remained at home in their villages; that is, about thr 1 CONC ee percent for adults and five to seven percent for children. However, wi 1 CONC th every norm or every general rule, there is an exception, and the wor 1 CONC st exception recorded in the many years of German immigration to America w 1 CONC as the year 1738. Christened the "Wurg-Engle diss Jahr," or "Year of t 1 CONC he Destroying Angel," 1738 was a disastrous year for immigrants. During t 1 CONC hat twelve month period, 6,490 German-speaking men, women and children sai 1 CONC led from Europe in twenty-three ships bound for Pennsylvania. They suffer 1 CONC ed from the problems of inexperienced captains, unusually severe weathe 1 CONC r, spoiled provisions, epidemics of disease and long delays before departu 1 CONC re. As a result, 2,260 of the immigrants died, some thirty-five perce 1 CONC nt of the total number who began the voyage. 1 CONT 1 CONT Whatever hardships he may have faced, Matthias safely reached Philadelph 1 CONC ia on September 20, 1738. Immediately after his arrival, he took the Oa 1 CONC th of Allegiance to King George II and the Oath of Fidelity to the Penn 1 CONC s. As had been required of non-British immigrants since 1730, he also to 1 CONC ok the Oath of Abjuration, renouncing the temporal power of the Pope and t 1 CONC he claims of the Pretender. For the privilege of entering Pennsylvani 1 CONC a, he paid the sum of forty shillings and twelve pence. Ship records of t 1 CONC he Nancy indicate that Matthias was twenty-four when he first set 1 CONT foot in America, an age that agrees with the record of his birth, locat 1 CONC ed in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Otisheim. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1744, Matthias married Catharina Moyer (originally, the name was probab 1 CONC ly Mayer or Meyer), who also had journeyed to America aboard the "Nancy 1 CONC ." The marriage took place in Philadelphia at St. Michael's and Zion Chur 1 CONC ch, the same church in which christenings of the first five children bo 1 CONC rn to Matthias and Catharina are recorded. The first four of those childr 1 CONC en were born during the time when the Lehrers lived in Philadelphia Count 1 CONC y. Although christened in Philadelphia, Elizabeth, the fifth child, was p 1 CONC robably born in Virginia. 1 CONT 1 CONT Sometime between 1752 and 1754, Matthias moved his family to the Shenando 1 CONC ah Valley of Virginia, where he purchased several hundred acres of land al 1 CONC ong Linville's Creek, near Brock's Gap and Rader's Meeting House, in wh 1 CONC at was then Augusta County, later to become Rockingham County. Neighbo 1 CONC rs in the area were names familiar to the Lehrers from Pennsylvania - t 1 CONC he Hites, Kizers, Chrismans, Cassels, Bowmans and Custers. Some of the 1 CONC se families had already intermarried, and marriages between the families w 1 CONC ould continue for several more generations. Another close neighbor, who m 1 CONC oved to the area of Linville Creek sometime between 1753 and 1760, was Joh 1 CONC ann Ferdinand Lehrer, a first cousin of Matthias from Otisheim. Both m 1 CONC en were the grandsons of Mattheus Lehrer, the schoolmaster of that village 1 CONC . 1 CONT 1 CONT Although his sons would do so, Matthias was far too old to serve in the mi 1 CONC litary at the time of the Revolutionary War; however, according to 1788 mi 1 CONC litia vouchers for Rockingham County, the Lehrer family provided horses a 1 CONC nd food in support of the war effort. 1 CONT 1 CONT Matthias died in Rockingham County in 1787, at the age of seventy-three, l 1 CONC eaving all of his property to his wife, Catharina, who survived him by ano 1 CONC ther seventeen years. By the time of his death, Matthias had left the sma 1 CONC ll village of Otisheim far behind; he had successfully established himse 1 CONC lf and his family in a new world, and he had seen his adopted home beco 1 CONC me a nation, a feat that his native land would not achieve for close to an 1 CONC other hundred years. 0 @I0086@ INDI 1 NAME Catharina-Margaretha /Moyer/ 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 SEX F 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1720 2 PLAC Germany 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 DEAT 2 DATE ABT JAN 1804 2 PLAC Near Linville Creek, Rockingham Co., Virginia 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 IMMI 2 DATE 1738 2 PLAC Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the boat, "Nancy." 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 PROP 2 PLAC An heiress 2 SOUR @S01770@ 3 DATA 4 TEXT Date of Import: Oct 10, 2000 1 FAMS @F0077@ 1 FAMC @F0080@ 1 NOTE @NI0086@ 0 @NI0086@ NOTE 1 CONC In 1738, Catharina made the same voyage to Philadelphia, on the Nanc 1 CONC y, as did her future husband, Matthias.

As in the case of his father, little is known of Mattheus' life, b 1 CONC ut one can assume that it was strongly affected by the difficult econom 1 CONC ic conditions of the period and by the various French invasions of the are 1 CONC a, most of which made Sherman's "march to the sea" seem like a cakewa 1 CONC lk in comparison. 1 CONT 1 CONT Records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Otisheim provide the dat 1 CONC es of his birth, his death and his two marriages.

Eight children were born to this mar 1 CONC riage, the last in 1727. Four of these children lived to adulthood.

In a 1 CONC ny case, she did have contact with her birth mother, Lydia Richardson Gra 1 CONC y. 1 CONT 1 CONT Arabella and her first husband, Nathaniel Deaver, left North Carolina arou 1 CONC nd 1809 for Illinois, where Nathaniel was an interpreter for the Army ( 1 CONC he is said to have spoken seven Native American languages). When Nathani 1 CONC el died in December of 1812, his brother William Deaver came to Illinois a 1 CONC nd "rescued" Arabella's three daughters by Nathaniel and took them ba 1 CONC ck to North Carolina. Then, according to some in this family, Arabella st 1 CONC ayed in the Illinois/Kentucky/Missouri basin area with her two sons by Nat 1 CONC haniel. She married her second husband, John William Harrington in Livings 1 CONC ton Co., Kentucky in 1814. 1 CONT 1 CONT It seems that Arabella and her second husband, William Harrington, may ha 1 CONC ve returned to North Carolina at some point after their two daughters we 1 CONC re born in Missouri. Arabella seems to have reclaimed her daughters by h 1 CONC er first marriage when they moved back. Arabella's mother, Lydia Gra 1 CONC y, is said to have died in Arabella's home in Heywood Co., North Caroli 1 CONC na in 1820. 1 CONT 1 CONT Again, family history differs from historical record. According to so 1 CONC me of Arabella's descendants, John and Arabella Gray Deaver Harrington we 1 CONC re a part of Austin's original group of Texas colonists, which arriv 1 CONC ed in Texas in 1823. Family history said they were among a group of 1200 t 1 CONC ravelers, herding livestock with them, and endured all types of weather, s 1 CONC ickness and death. In passing through Arkansas, Arabella birthed her young 1 CONC est child, John Jr., but before leaving that state, John William Harringt 1 CONC on was killed by a falling tree or in a sawmill accident (perhaps it was b 1 CONC oth). Arabella Harrington, with five children, continued on to Texas. 1 CONT 1 CONT However, this may not be the case. Stephen F. Austin born in Virginia b 1 CONC ut reared in southeastern Missouri, issued his first land grants through t 1 CONC he Mexican government in 1822 to 300 settlers. No Harrington or Deav 1 CONC er is listed among Austin's first group, called the "Old 300." The Harring 1 CONC ton's may have been a part of Austin's first group, but William's death ca 1 CONC used them to remain in Arkansas. 1 CONT 1 CONT Arabella seems to have been a part of the second group, which received Spa 1 CONC nish land grants and settled around 1825.

However, Seymo 1 CONC ur Cobb Rhode's gravestone in the Hamburg Cemetery, Fremont Co., Iowa sa 1 CONC ys he was born on December 18, 1799. 1 CONT 1 CONT Seymour was a little over a year old when his parents, John and Mary Lew 1 CONC is Rhode, removed to Warren Co., Ohio, taking Seymour and his brothers Jon 1 CONC athan, Caleb and Thomas with them. John and Mary Lewis Rhode left the Sou 1 CONC th because of the Quaker belief that slavery was wrong. 1 CONT 1 CONT During the next six years, the Rhode clan lived in Warren Co., Ohio, and n 1 CONC ear briefly in Wayne Co., Indiana, where the 1820 census records th 1 CONC em as residents. But soon after the census they moved back to Warren Co 1 CONC ., Ohio, as John Rhode had never sold his land there. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1825, Seymour Cobb Rhode married Rebecca Hurley of Greene Co., Ohio, t 1 CONC he daughter of Zedock and Lillis Campbell Hurley. 1 CONT 1 CONT The extended Rhode family lived in Warren Co., Ohio until 1826. That yea 1 CONC r, Seymour's father, his father, John Rhode, and all his brothers Willi 1 CONC am and Jonathan purchased land grants for land in northwestern Indiana ne 1 CONC ar the Illinois border in Warren Co. The land was thick with hardwood tre 1 CONC es and near the Wabash and Tippecanoe rivers. John Rhode deeded part of h 1 CONC is land to Seymour and Rebecca Hurley Rhode. 1 CONT 1 CONT Rebecca's parents, Zedock and Mary Campbell Hurley, soon joined them in Wa 1 CONC rren Co., Indiana, and they spent the rest of their lives there. "Semour C 1 CONC obb Rhode bought 160 acres from Zadoc and Lillis Campbell Hurley, his in-l 1 CONC aws, and secured another 160 acres from the government. Zadoc Hurley had o 1 CONC riginally purchased the 160 acres from the government in Crawfordsvil 1 CONC le in 1828. Zadoc's wife, Lillis Campbell, was the daughter of John Campbe 1 CONC ll. They were married at Union District, S. Carolina, in either 1804 or 18 1 CONC 05." (From Adilda McCord's memoirs; however, Zadock and Lillis's marria 1 CONC ge is recorded in Warren Co., Ohio in Dec. 1805.) 1 CONT 1 CONT All of Seymour and Rebecca Hurley Rhode's children were born in Warren Co 1 CONC ., Indiana: William in 1827, Jonathan in 1830, Thomas in 1834, Heste 1 CONC r, b. ca. 1835, Caleb, in 1836, and Mary Lillis in 1838. William, their ol 1 CONC dest died in infancy. Mary Lillis also died at about six months of age. Re 1 CONC becca Hurley Rhode died in November, 1838, shortly after giving birth to M 1 CONC ary Lillis; their deaths seem to be related. 1 CONT 1 CONT After Rebecca's death, there was a guardianship case involving Seymour Co 1 CONC bb Rhode. Seymour was granted guardianship of the sons, heirs of Rebecca H 1 CONC urley, the daughter of Zadock Hurley. Seymour was to give guardianship rep 1 CONC orts to the court as required by law. Apparently, Esther Rhode (later Mr 1 CONC s. Semer Gray), the daughter of Seymour Cobb Rhode and Rebecca Hurley, w 1 CONC as in the care of someone else--perhaps her grandparents Hurley--as s 1 CONC he is not mentioned in the guardianship. Perhaps Zadock and Lillis Campbe 1 CONC ll Hurley were concerned that any possible inheritance they intended to le 1 CONC ave their grandchildren, and did not like or trust Seymour Cobb Rhode wi 1 CONC th this money. 1 CONT 1 CONT Perhaps Seymour Cobb Rhode chafed at being required to report to a cou 1 CONC rt in regards to his own children. Maybe he failed to do so, and his so 1 CONC ns were removed from his care. The Rhode family insists that Jonathan w 1 CONC as reared by two Rhode uncles (probably William and Thomas), and did not r 1 CONC eturn to his father's home until he was 16 years old. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1841 letter from Caleb Rhode to Jonathan Rhode in Arkansas, detailing t 1 CONC he affairs of their father's, John Rhode's estate, Caleb says that Willi 1 CONC am Rhode is building "brother Semour one of the bigest (sic) fram hous 1 CONC es in this county it is said to be 48 by 18 with a shed on each side 10 fe 1 CONC et wide...etc." 1 CONT 1 CONT Seymour Cobb Rhode is enumerated as Seymour Rhoade in the 1850, Adams Twp 1 CONC ., Warren Co., Indiana census on page 61 or 11 of 13 on Ancestry.com. Seym 1 CONC our C. says he is age 48 (?), and was born in South Carolina.

One year later, in 1856, Seymour Co 1 CONC bb Rhode deed part of his farm to his own son Jonathan, and Jonathan and h 1 CONC is family moved to be with his father.

Rhode, John Rho 1 CONC de immigrated to America from Germany as a young man. No record exis 1 CONC ts of his life in Germany; the names of his parents or other family member 1 CONC s, his birthplace and his occupation before coming to the American Coloni 1 CONC es are all unknown. Also, little is known of his first years in his new ho 1 CONC meland. 1 CONT 1 CONT One fact is certain: John Rhode was a Quaker. Therefore, it is quite like 1 CONC ly that John Rhode was one of the thousands of Palatine immigrants who arr 1 CONC ived in the Colonies between 1724 and 1770. These Palatines, from Alsace-L 1 CONC oraine and other parts of southern Germany, were escaping the afterma 1 CONC th of the Thirty Years War. William Penn sent emmisaries to area to encour 1 CONC age the people, weary of war, famine and uncertainty, to come to Pennsylva 1 CONC nia. He painted glowing pictures of the fertility of the land and the unli 1 CONC mited opportunites that awaited in his colony. Boat after boat of dauntle 1 CONC ss Palatines landed in Philadephia. As they disembarked, passengers were r 1 CONC equired to become Quakers, and to swear an oaths of allegiance to the Ki 1 CONC ng of England and William Penn. One of these boats just may have carried J 1 CONC ohn Rhode to his new life. 1 CONT 1 CONT There are official War of Independence service records that confirms Jo 1 CONC hn Rhode'service in the Revolutionary War. For instance, Mr. A. S. Sal 1 CONC ly of South Carolina's State Historical Commission, notes there is a st 1 CONC ub entry in Revolutionary War payment book P, entry #479, again 1 CONC st an S. C. Figg, stating, "Issued this 9th of May 1785 to Mr. John Rhod 1 CONC es for three pounds 4S9 Sterling--for provisions for the State Troops & Mi 1 CONC litia in 1780-81 as part of the account audited. Principal S 4, 9--Annu 1 CONC al interest S 4.6." 1 CONT 1 CONT One of John's great-granddaughters, Harriet Rhode McCormick (Joseph, Jonat 1 CONC han, John) insisted that she heard from older members of the family that J 1 CONC ohn Rhode took part in the Revolutionary War as a baggageman or teamster." 1 CONC Another, Fern Williams (Sarah Cobb Williams, Allice Rhode Cobb, Jonathan R 1 CONC hode, John) claims that older members of the family said thatin the fin 1 CONC al years of the war John Rhode was involved in commissary transports for t 1 CONC he "Swamp Fox," General Francis Marion, and his famed guerilla fighte 1 CONC rs in Charleston, South Carolina area. 1 CONT 1 CONT According to family bible records, in 1784 John Rhode married Mary Lewi 1 CONC s, b. 1764, in a little stone church on a small island in the Charlesto 1 CONC n, South Carolina harbor. Their first child, William was born the next yea 1 CONC r. Available marriage records, which are very incomplete, do not list t 1 CONC he marriage. Ellis Rhode says in his book that nothing was known of Mary 1 CONC 's parents; however, more recent research supports that she is the daught 1 CONC er of William and Mary (Hughes?) Lewis. 1 CONT 1 CONT Mary's sister, Hester or Esther Lewis, married Seymour Cobb. These are t 1 CONC he first recorded marriage between the Lewis' and the Cobbs; many would fo 1 CONC llow. 1 CONT 1 CONT The 1790 Census 1 CONT 1 CONT The U.S. Census, conducted in 1790, raises a few questions. John Rhode's n 1 CONC ame is listed as "John Road." The surname misspelling is not uncommon; ma 1 CONC ny surnames were misspelled in census records, especially from 1790-190 1 CONC 0. There a several John Roads, Rhoads, etc. listed in the South Caroli 1 CONC na in that census, but this one is the only one in Charleston District (t 1 CONC he part of which is now Dorchester Co). The census lists seven membe 1 CONC rs in his household, one male over 16 (John), one white female (Mary), thr 1 CONC ee males under 16 years old, (sons William, b. 1785, Jonathan, b. 1788, a 1 CONC nd Caleb, b. 1790, and two slaves. So it is reasonable to assume this list 1 CONC ing is for "Jno. Rhode" (1790 Census, Charleston District, St. Georges Par 1 CONC ish/Township, pg. 33/620 or 5 of 6 on Ancestry.com). 1 CONT 1 CONT Interestingly, Ellis Rhode notes that there are three other "Road" listin 1 CONC gs in the neighborhood: Henry, William and Christian. In this era, it w 1 CONC as very common for relatives to settle in groups. Were these brothers or o 1 CONC ther relatives of John Rhode? Although Ellis Rhode and Annie Dash Moo 1 CONC re of Waltersboro, South Carolina, a descendant of Mary Lewis Murray, t 1 CONC he daughter of John Rhode, believed this was quite possible, there is noth 1 CONC ing written in the family records or spoken in oral traditions which menti 1 CONC ons that John Rhode had brothers or other relatives. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1800, St. George's Parish, Colleton Co., South Carolina (pg. 180), a Jo 1 CONC hn Rhode is enumerated. But something is amiss--the census taker marks Jo 1 CONC hn Rhode with three sons (he should have four) and one daughter ( there sh 1 CONC ould be two) two females more than 44 years old. Mary Rhode would have be 1 CONC en age 36. 1 CONT One son is age 10-15, two sons are 16-25 and John is listed as more th 1 CONC an 44 years old. The daughter is listed as age 16-25. This is wrong. Th 1 CONC is is not our John Rhode. But no other by that name is enumerated. 1 CONT 1 CONT There is a land grant Vol. 66, page 388: John Road 800A in District of Ch 1 CONC arlestown, St. George's Parish, waters of Poak Swamp, NE side of Edisto Ri 1 CONC ver: 1 CONT 1 CONT The Rhode Plantation 1 CONT 1 CONT However, Annie Dash Moore supplied Ellis Rhode an actual land grant for t 1 CONC he John Rhode plantation, which confirms the family legend that he did o 1 CONC wn a plantation in Dorchester Co., South Carolina. This handwritten gran 1 CONC t, dated 1796, is made out to "John Rode" and signed "Witness his Excellen 1 CONC ce Arnoldus Vanderhorst Esquire, Governor and Commander in Chief in and ov 1 CONC er said State, at Charleston this Fourth Day of January Anno Domini One Th 1 CONC ousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Six and in the Twentieth Year of the Indep 1 CONC endence of the United States of America." The 500-acre plantation is in S 1 CONC t. John's Parish near the town of St. George, about 50 miles from Charlest 1 CONC on. On one side of the yellowed document is a plat showing property bounda 1 CONC ries as being the Edisto River and various trees. No price is mentioned; h 1 CONC owever, a piece of the land grant is missing. 1 CONT 1 CONT Although the Quaker religion opposes slavery, plantation owners had litt 1 CONC le choice but to own slaves. What John Rhode grew on his plantation is n 1 CONC ot really known, but the common crops for the area are rice and cotton, bo 1 CONC th labor intensive, The only way a plantation owner could successfully rai 1 CONC se such crops was to use slave labor. As Ellis Rhode surmises, when John R 1 CONC hode bought his 500-acre plantation he may have bought more slaves. Als 1 CONC o, by the time he left South Carolina eighteen years later, he probably ow 1 CONC ned many slaves. 1 CONT 1 CONT John Rhode's Family 1 CONT 1 CONT John and Mary Rhode had three sons by the 1790 census. A daughter, Esthe 1 CONC r, was born in 1794. After the plantation was purchased, three more childr 1 CONC en were born, Mary in 1796, Thomas in 1797 and Seymour Cobb Rhode in 180 1 CONC 2. Seymour was named for his uncle, Semer Cobb, the husband of his mother 1 CONC 's sister, Esther Lewis Cobb. Some of the Rhode children married in Sou 1 CONC th Carolina. In 1806, William married Sarah Murray, the daughter of Willi 1 CONC am Murray. In 1813, Mary Rhode wed her sister-in-law Sarah's brother, Will 1 CONC iam Murray Jr. Later, Esther Rhode married Daniel Summers, whose given na 1 CONC me was unknown to Ellis Rhode and Anna Dash Moorer). 1 CONT 1 CONT John Rhode's Family Leaves South Carolina 1 CONT 1 CONT According to Ellis Rhode: 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1811, John Rhode's oldest son, William Rhode, left South Carolina for O 1 CONC hio, an area in northern Ohio near Lake Erie. The family legend says th 1 CONC at William, by then 25 years old husband and father, left with a gro 1 CONC up of Quakers who opposed slavery. Indeed, legions of Southern Quakers d 1 CONC id migrate to Ohio after 1800, leaving the South because they had conclud 1 CONC ed in their meetings that slavery was wrong. Jonathan, John Rhode's second 1 CONC -oldest child, probably left with or soon after his brother; his marria 1 CONC ge is recorded in Ohio in 1812. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1814, John and Mary Lewis Rhode and their other sons, Caleb, Thomas a 1 CONC nd Seymour, also left for Ohio. They left the South presumably for the sa 1 CONC me reason, although Ellis Rhode claims that by then, slavery was becomi 1 CONC ng unprofitable for small plantation owners. Ellis implies that the two da 1 CONC ughters, Esther Rhode Summers and Mary Rhode Murray, did not migrate wi 1 CONC th their parents. Mary married to William Murray IV in 1813. 1 CONT 1 CONT Ellis Rhode says that Annie Dash Moore found legal documents in South Caro 1 CONC lina that bear John Rhode's signature as late as 1814, but there see 1 CONC ms to be no record of the plantation's sale. The Rhode family legends s 1 CONC ay that John gave his slaves three choices: to stay on the plantation as f 1 CONC ree men, to select the man they wish to be sold to, or to go with John a 1 CONC nd his family to Ohio, where they would also be given their freedo 1 CONC m. It is said that a number of slaves left with the Rhodes, evidence th 1 CONC at John Rhode treated his slaves fairly and kindly. Another Rhode family s 1 CONC tory claims that Joseph Rhode, son of Jonathan Rhode, possessed the lar 1 CONC ge black trunk, allegedly once filled to the brim with silver coins, whi 1 CONC ch his grandfather John Rhode took to Ohio. 1 CONT 1 CONT According to Ellis Rhode, from 1814 to 1820 the Rhode clan moved moved fo 1 CONC ur times. As mentioned, the first move to "the fire lands" meaning to Ohi 1 CONC o, Ohio, an area formerly owned by Connecticut before Ohio became a sta 1 CONC te in 1803. Then the family went to Seymour, Jackson Co., in southern Indi 1 CONC ana. Warren Co., Ohio, in the southern part of that state, was their ne 1 CONC xt residence. (This is incorrect, see below.) 1 CONT 1 CONT According to Ellis Rhode, the 1820 census lists them as living near Richmo 1 CONC nd, Wayne Co., Indiana, which is in eastern Indiana near the Ohio borde 1 CONC r. But, although sons William and Jonathan are found there, John and Ma 1 CONC ry Lewis Rhode are not. They are not found in the 1820 census. But they st 1 CONC ill own their land in Caesar's Creek Twp., Warren Co., Ohio. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1930, John Rhode ("John Rhads") is found in Warren Co., Indiana on ro 1 CONC ll 32, page 183 or page 17 of 36 on Ancestry.com. in the house are one ma 1 CONC le age 70-80 (John), and one female age 60-70 (Mary). 1 CONT 1 CONT John Rhode is enumerated in Warren Co., Indiana in the 1840 census on ro 1 CONC ll 97, page 96 or 61 of 70 on Ancestry.com, In the home are one male, a 1 CONC ge 80-90 (John) and one female, 70-80 (Mary Lewis Rhode). 1 CONT Recent Research 1 CONT 1 CONT However, evidence now indicates that the Rhodes never went to northern Ohi 1 CONC o, and were in Warren Co., Ohio as early as 1806. There are two "John Road 1 CONC s" listed on the 1806 tax list in Warren Co., Ohio. We know from other sou 1 CONC rces that there were two other "John Roads" who settled there, one in Hami 1 CONC lton Twp. and one in Franklin Twp, in addition to our John, who settl 1 CONC ed in Wayne Twp. But the one in Hamilton Twp. did not settle there until a 1 CONC fter 1810. So it is reasonable to assume that one of the "John Roads" list 1 CONC ed on the 1806 tax list, for property assessed in 1805, is our John Rhod 1 CONC e. 1 CONT 1 CONT Also, Mary Lewis Rhode is granted a certificate of membership at Miami M 1 CONC M, the first Quaker MM in Ohio, on October 9, 1806. She is received on a c 1 CONC ertificate, dated July 26, 1806, from Bush River MM in Newberry Co., Sou 1 CONC th Carolina. 1 CONT 1 CONT An early court record indicates that Mary Lewis Rhode gave consent for h 1 CONC er niece and ward, Mary Easterling Townsend, to marry her husband John Tow 1 CONC nsend in Clinton Co., Ohio in July 1807. Deed records support this ye 1 CONC ar as the year of migration to Wayne Twp., Warren Co., Ohio very near t 1 CONC he Caesar's Creek MM house. John Rhode purchases his first tract of la 1 CONC nd in Wayne Twp., Warren Co., Ohio on May 14, 1807. 1 CONT 1 CONT Why did Ellis Rhode write that John and Mary Lewis Rhode and sons first se 1 CONC ttled in the Western Reserve? A professional genealogist in Warren Co., Oh 1 CONC io, hired by Joy Jepson, a descendant of William and Sarah Murray Rhode th 1 CONC rough William and Mary Rhode Railsback, provided the answer. There were t 1 CONC wo "fire lands" in Ohio, the one adjacent to land known nationally as t 1 CONC he Western Reserve, and parcels of land in Warren Co., Ohio owned by a m 1 CONC an named Symmes. Symmes' entry book was burned by a disgruntled land owne 1 CONC r, and the area became known locally as "Symmes' fire lands." When the old 1 CONC er Rhode family members told Ellis that the family settled in "the fire la 1 CONC nds" Ellis naturally thought they meant the more commonly known Western Re 1 CONC serve, and wrote such in his book. But this is incorrect; the older fami 1 CONC ly members meant "Symmes' fire lands" in Warren Co., Ohio. Although John a 1 CONC nd Mary Lewis Rhode did not actually live in "Symmes fire lands," they liv 1 CONC ed very near them. 1 CONT 1 CONT Another family mystery is: Why did John and Mary Lewis Rhode leave their t 1 CONC wo daughters in South Carolina? There may be some chance that Esther, w 1 CONC ho was 11 years old in 1806, and Mary, who was nine, did move to Ohio wi 1 CONC th their parents, but there is no evidence in the Quaker records that th 1 CONC ey did. According to Anna Dash Moorer, a decendant of William and Mary Rho 1 CONC de Murray, John Rhode, and perhaps Mary Lewis Rhode, did return to St. Geo 1 CONC rge's, Dorchester Co., South Carolina on several occasions to sell his Sou 1 CONC th Carolina land. Did the girls move to Ohio, but return to South Caroli 1 CONC na with him on one of these trips? Or were they left behind in 1806, perha 1 CONC ps with Semer and Esther Lewis Cobb or Henry and Eleanor Lewis Easterlin 1 CONC g, for safety reasons? Or even with older brother, William and his wife, S 1 CONC arah Murray Rhode, who did not move to Wayne Co., Indiana until 1810? May 1 CONC be the intention was that the girls would eventually move to Ohio once t 1 CONC he family was established there...but the two daughters later balked at mo 1 CONC ving from their refined hometown in the South to the rough Ohio pioneer te 1 CONC rritory. In any case, the two daughters remained in South Carolina, marrie 1 CONC d, and raised families there. 1 CONT 1 CONT So John Rhode came directly to Warren Co., Ohio.There is a source that sa 1 CONC ys John Rhode did live in Wayne Co., Indiana, with his son William Rhod 1 CONC e, in 1820. But our John Rhode was still on the tax lists in Warren Co., O 1 CONC hio through 1829 (for 1828) and did not start selling his land in Warren C 1 CONC o., Ohio until 1828. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1828, the extended Rhode family sold their lands in Warren and Clint 1 CONC on Co., Ohio and moved to the area which is still largest settlement of Rh 1 CONC ode descendants to this day, Warren Co., Indiana. The land is in the north 1 CONC western part of the state, near the Illinois border, and situated near t 1 CONC he Wabash and Tippecanoe Rivers. Crops and goods made in the region were s 1 CONC hipped by flatboat on these rivers to nearby Lafayette, or floated do 1 CONC wn to the Mississippi River as far as New Orleans. 1 CONT 1 CONT The New Homeplace 1 CONT 1 CONT John Rhode and his five sons obtained their farms through federal land gra 1 CONC nts, the first was awarded to John in 1826. He obtained several others fr 1 CONC om 1826-1828 before the family actually moved. The region the Rhode clan c 1 CONC hose as its new homeplace is considered by many experts as having the fine 1 CONC st stand of hardwood timber the world has ever produced. Clearing the Rho 1 CONC de land, heavily covered by white oak, was no easy task. According to Ell 1 CONC is Rhode, some of the timber was used for buildings and for fencing, but m 1 CONC ost of it was "log-rolled" and burned. The stumps had to be "grubbed ou 1 CONC t" before the land was ready for plowing. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1934, 82-year-old Seymour T. Rhode (Joseph, Jonathan, John) wrote a let 1 CONC ter to Ellis Rhode describing the arduous tasks tackled by the early India 1 CONC na settlers: 1 CONT 1 CONT "No one could guess from the aspect of Indiana today that when the first s 1 CONC ettlers entered it the greater portion waas covered with dense growt 1 CONC hs of magnificent hardwood trees--oak, waalnut, beech, ash, maple and t 1 CONC he king of the Wabash Valley, the giant sycamore--in all more than 40 kin 1 CONC ds of trees, which not infrequently reached a height of 100 to 190 feet a 1 CONC nd a circumference of 25 to 35 feet. It makes one shudder to realize th 1 CONC at most of these huge and splendid forest monarchs did not even furnish ti 1 CONC mber of fuel, or serve any useful purpose. They were simply cut, pil 1 CONC ed in heaps, and burned with immense labor to clear the land for plantin 1 CONC g. It could not be helped. The forest was a barrier to progress, a f 1 CONC oe to agriculture, and a refuge for Indians, bears, panthers, wildcats a 1 CONC nd lynxes, as well as for deer and other gentler wild creatures. 1 CONT 1 CONT "The stout Hoosier pioneers, snatching at every opportunity to sweeten to 1 CONC il and hardship with fun and frolic, made the 'log rolling' a community fe 1 CONC stival. The 20 to 50 men of a neighborhood would gather early in the d 1 CONC ay with axes and handspikes at the home of one of their number, and, divid 1 CONC ed into opposing squads, would make a game of seeing which sidecould out 1 CONC do the other in heaping the logs for burning. In the log cabin, their wom 1 CONC en folk were busy quilting and preparing the feast of venison, roast turke 1 CONC y, fried chicken, hog, hominy, potatoes, hot cornbreak, biscuits, and ging 1 CONC erbread, pies, preserves, milk and cider. In the evening, the young peop 1 CONC le would still have energy left for dancing and games, while a hundred fla 1 CONC ring log bonfires lit the sky. Each settler received the same help from h 1 CONC is neighbors, so the festivity was repeated many times during the seaso 1 CONC n, usually April or May. 1 CONT 1 CONT "The log-rolling was a splendid opportunity for political candidates to i 1 CONC ngraatiate themselves with the voters; an opportunity, too, for the cna 1 CONC ny farmer, who, it is said, would sometimes postpone his log-rolling unt 1 CONC il campaign time in order to profit by the enthusiastic labor of rival can 1 CONC didates. 1 CONT 1 CONT "In 1870, when I visited Indiana, there were a few odd treacts of thsi ve 1 CONC ry magnificent timber left standing. Uncle Seym (Note: Seymour T. Rhode, s 1 CONC on of Jonathan and brother of the letter-writer's father, Joseph Rhode. T 1 CONC he letter-writer was his namesake.) had about 20 acres that there neer h 1 CONC ad been axe in, mammoth oaks, many of them 60 feet or more to the neare 1 CONC st limb, and with a superb spread of tops. As a young man, from the prair 1 CONC ie country of Iowa, it surely was impressive, and had a very lasting effec 1 CONC t. Forty years later, in 1910, while visiting with the Gray familly at Ode 1 CONC ssa, Indiana, my cousin Harvey Garton drove me to an 80-acre tract that h 1 CONC ad been preserved. In fact, this 80 acres stood like a mountain in a valle 1 CONC y. The timber was mostly oak and yellow poplar. The effect is lastin gto t 1 CONC his day. But alas, time was called on the preserver and the heirs were cal 1 CONC ling for their share. Harvey Garton said the tract had been sold for $10 1 CONC 00 per acre, or $80,000, for the timber alone. I thought of the back-break 1 CONC ing work, those oldtimers had done in getting rid of their timber, a 1 CONC nd to think of the stumps to wrestle with after the logs and limbs were of 1 CONC f." 1 CONT 1 CONT After the land was cleared the Rhode family faced another monumental jo 1 CONC b. Because of the rivers in the area, the Wabash, Tippecanoe and White, we 1 CONC stern Indiana farmland had to be drained. Because of the wetness of the la 1 CONC nd, sickness, particularly chills and fever, was common. Ellis Rhode writ 1 CONC es that "there were many ponds and sloughs, which caused much malari 1 CONC a, so nearly every family had the "ager" from time to time." In additi 1 CONC on to causing sickness, the land's wetness made raising crops vitually imp 1 CONC ossible without ditching and tiling. The first tiling was three-inch, th 1 CONC en retiled with four-inch tiling. Later, the four-inch tiling was remov 1 CONC ed and replaced with six- to 18-inch tiling, which gave the most adequa 1 CONC te draining. 1 CONT 1 CONT But the Rhodes toiled on, and finally they were rewarded for their effort 1 CONC s. The Rhode farms, located primarily in Adams, Pine and Warren township 1 CONC s, were some of the most prosperous in the area for years. As they succeed 1 CONC ed, more land was added. Rhode sons would grow up and buy yet other far 1 CONC ms in the area. Many of the original Rhode farm tracts were passed down fr 1 CONC om generation to generation, some are still held in the family today. 1 CONT 1 CONT The Rhode Familly Spreads Out 1 CONT 1 CONT John Rhode and all five of his sons, William, Jonathan, Caleb, Thomas a 1 CONC nd Seymour, all owned farms in Warren Co., Indiana from 1826 until the 184 1 CONC 0s. As generations past, some of the Rhode clan left Warren Co., Indiana f 1 CONC or new lands to the west. 1 CONT 1 CONT Caleb Rhode left for Kansas, possibly in the 1840s. 1 CONT 1 CONT Jonathan Rhode and his family left in 1839 for Lead Hill, Arkansas in t 1 CONC he northwestern corner of that state. Whatever hardships they were tryi 1 CONC ng to escape in Indiana, they met far more in the rock-filled land of Arka 1 CONC nsas. The move was so unsuccessful that in 1843, Jonathan's wife, Mary Har 1 CONC riet Anderson Rhode, pleaded on her deathbed for her family to return to I 1 CONC ndiana. Several months later, all did except for one son, Daniel. (Note: J 1 CONC onathan's nephew and Daniel's cousin, Isaac Rhode, son of William and Sar 1 CONC ah Murray Rhode, accompanied them to Arkansas and remained there for the r 1 CONC est of his life.) 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1847, Daniel finally did leave Arkansas and went to the very southweste 1 CONC rn corner of Iowa, in Fremont Co. near Tabor. He wrote to the family in In 1 CONC diana, extolling the virtues of the fertile and virtually treeless land. T 1 CONC wo of Daniel's brothers. Joseph and John, decided to join him there in 184 1 CONC 8. Their uncle, Seymour Cobb Rhode also moved to Fremont Co., Iowa, arou 1 CONC nd 1850. Some of his sons came a few years later. 1 CONT 1 CONT Thomas Rhode and his sons sold their farms and left for Iowa in 1848 as we 1 CONC ll. Thomas and his family, however, settled near Salem, in the southeaste 1 CONC rn part of Iowa. 1 CONT 1 CONT Later generations of Rhodes headed to the Sheridan, Wyoming vicinity a 1 CONC nd to Sonoma and Orange counties in Southern California. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 2000, five areas are known to have significant concentrations of Rho 1 CONC de family descendants: Warren Co., Indiana; Henry Co., Iowa; Fremont Co 1 CONC ., Iowa; Sheridan, Wyoming and Orange Co., California. 1 CONT 1 CONT John Rhode's Final Resting Place 1 CONT 1 CONT John Rhode died in 1840 and his wife Mary Lewis Rhode in 1843. On o 1 CONC ne of the farms, once owned by William Rhode and situated between small t 1 CONC owns of Pine Village and Independence, is the Quaker-Rhode Cemetery. Jo 1 CONC hn and Mary Lewis Rhode are buried here, and their graves are marked wi 1 CONC th a very impressive tombstone bought in the 1950s by contributions from m 1 CONC any of his decendants throughout the U.S. Many other Rhode family membe 1 CONC rs and those close to the family are also buried here. Other Rhodes are bu 1 CONC ried in the nearby Gray Cemetery, in Pine Twp., Warren Co., Indiana ea 1 CONC st of Pine Village and north of Rainsville. 1 CONT 1 CONT John and Mary Rhode lost at least five nephews in the Civil War: 1 CONT 1 CONT John, William and George T.

In the fall, grain was harvested with a "cradle," a large scythe with f 1 CONC ramework which collected the grain in bundles as it was cut. The bundles w 1 CONC ere bound using straw for bands. "Flailing" separated the grain from the s 1 CONC traw. A flailer would would pound the grain by swing a long stick with a s 1 CONC horter stick tied to the end by a piece of rope. One separated grain fr 1 CONC om the hulls by winnowing on a windy day. One poured the grain from a bask 1 CONC et, The lighter hulls would be blown to one side by the wind, and the heav 1 CONC ier grain would fall into another basket. 1 CONT 1 CONT Hay was cut with a scythe and dried. It was then raked with pitchforks, pi 1 CONC led in haycocks, pitched onto a wagon and hauled to the haystack or the ba 1 CONC rn. 1 CONT 1 CONT Corn was also sowed by hand. The whole family helped in harvesting or husk 1 CONC ing the corn in the fall. As the wagon went slowly down a row, it would s 1 CONC top, and two or three rows on each side would be husked and thrown into t 1 CONC he wagon. Someone had to husk the down row behind the wagon, which was t 1 CONC he hardest job. and no one was anxious for his turn. Selected ears of co 1 CONC rn were hung in the barn to dry; these would be used for seed the followi 1 CONC ng year. Livestock were fed corn on the ear. Corn intended for milling h 1 CONC ad to be shelled by hand, a laborious process. The shelled corn and winno 1 CONC ed wheat were hauled to a mill and traded for cornmeal and flour. 1 CONT 1 CONT Sorghum cane was taken to a neighbor, who operated a small sorghum mill. T 1 CONC he stalks were fed into rollers operated by a horse hitched to a sweep, t 1 CONC he horse walking around in a circle. The roller crushed out the juice, whi 1 CONC ch was boiled down in shallow pans, making molasses. The children made mol 1 CONC asses candy by adding peanuts to the boiled down molasses. 1 CONT 1 CONT Between harvest and spring plowing, men continued to hunt and fish, and th 1 CONC ey crafted the household furniture. 1 CONT 1 CONT Hunting provided meat and clothing. Wild game was plentiful; turkeys, gees 1 CONC e, ducks, prairie chickens, quail, squirrels and rabbits abounded. Fish a 1 CONC nd clams and crawfish filled the rivers and creeks. Deer meant venison f 1 CONC or the table and buckskin for garments. Buffalo could be found in the fore 1 CONC sts and bison on the plains until past mid-century. Every family had a sup 1 CONC ply of tanned buffalo hides for overcoats and bed coverings in the winte 1 CONC r. Caps and mittens were fashioned from furs: raccoon, mink, musrat, beave 1 CONC r, even skunk. 1 CONT 1 CONT Farm livestock was butchered to add to the meat supplies. Hog hams and sid 1 CONC es were smoked over hickory wood in a smokehouse. The women and older chil 1 CONC dren would prepare the chickens. After they twisted the chickens' necks, t 1 CONC hey plunged the birds into large kettles of boiling water to loosen the fe 1 CONC athers and make plucking less of a chore. Beefsteak too, would be an occas 1 CONC ional meal. 1 CONT 1 CONT The forests yielded many good things to eat, wiich were gathered by the wh 1 CONC ole family. As winter ended, maples were tapped for sap that was boiled do 1 CONC wn into scrumptious maple syrup. Spring meant mushroom hunting in the coo 1 CONC l, wet woods. In summer, wild blackberries grew along the fence rows, whe 1 CONC re one often got into the poison ivy with bad results. Wild grapes and plu 1 CONC ms weeere turned delicious jelly and gooseberries made wonderful pies. T 1 CONC he children loved to eat wild choke cherries, which puckered their mout 1 CONC hs and blackened their teeth. Black walnuts were gathered under the tre 1 CONC es after the first frost in the fall. Shucking the walnuts stained the han 1 CONC ds, and these stains did not come off for days. Hickory nuts grew on the s 1 CONC hellbark hickory trees. Paw-paws wee considered a great delicacy, despi 1 CONC te the work it took to gather and prepare them. 1 CONT 1 CONT The women worked as hard as the men; maybe harder. Food preparation and cl 1 CONC eanup were never-ending and arduous in those days. Long hours were spent c 1 CONC ooking meals and cleaning up afterwards. Arising at dawn, women baked bisc 1 CONC uits and hotcakes. The midday meal was most usually the largest of the da 1 CONC y, and all morning the women would be chopping, frying, boiling, and stewi 1 CONC ng. Supper often would be the leftovers from the midday dinner. Saturd 1 CONC ay usually was baking day, and the cabin would be filled with the delicio 1 CONC us aroma of fresh-baked breads and pies. 1 CONT 1 CONT Clothes were made with flax or wool, which was carded and spun during t 1 CONC he long winter evenings, or store-bought calico cotton fabric. Female hand 1 CONC s, after finishing the day's work, would pick up a needle to sew, da 1 CONC rn or quilt by candlelight. Keeping the house clean was often futile, wi 1 CONC th dirt floors and the wind blowing grain dust and dirt through cracks. T 1 CONC he floors must be swept and the cabin dusted. Rag rugs, twisted from worn- 1 CONC out clothing and fabric scraps, needed beating. 1 CONT 1 CONT Laundering clothes and linens was especially backbreaking, and this task w 1 CONC as not undertaken often and only in the warmer months. If a family own 1 CONC ed a kettle large enough, water was heated and harsh soap added to the ket 1 CONC tle. Clothes were put in and swished with a thick stick in the soapy wate 1 CONC r. Then the heavy, soaked clothes had to be removed, dripping, and plac 1 CONC ed in baskets until the weighty kettle was emptied and re-filled with cle 1 CONC an water to rinse. This rinsing process had to be repeated several time 1 CONC s. Older girls would help twist the clothes to wring, and throw or, if th 1 CONC ey had any pins, pin the clothes over lines to dry. If a family did not o 1 CONC wn such a kettle, clothes were hauled to a creek, placed on a large, bare 1 CONC ly submerged rock, and pounded with a smaller stone while the water rush 1 CONC ed over it. The water chilled the hands, and it was a monumental effort n 1 CONC ot to get the cleaned clothes muddy again. Then the clothes were hauled ba 1 CONC ck home to line-dry. 1 CONT 1 CONT Most everything was homemade by the women. Tallow candles, the only sour 1 CONC ce of light, were boiled from Mattresses had to be stuffed with straw. So 1 CONC ap was made by letting water drip through a barrel of ashes. In a large ke 1 CONC ttle, his ash water was boiled with hog fat, which made very potent soa 1 CONC p. When hardened the soap was cut into cakes. 1 CONT 1 CONT Every family raised a large garden. The women canned vegetables for wint 1 CONC er use. The root vegetables such as potatoes and carrots were "put dow 1 CONC n" or stored in a cave or cellar where they would not freeze. Apples, peac 1 CONC hes, cherries and pears were gathered from the trees, occasionally cultiva 1 CONC ted in pioneer orchards, and they were canned or dried. Cows furnished fre 1 CONC sh milk, which womenfolk poured into shallow crocks to separate. The cre 1 CONC am was skimmed from the top and, after souring, churned in a dasher chu 1 CONC rn to make butter. Work went on, and women often accomplished their labo 1 CONC rs while heavy with child or after just giving birth. It was not uncomm 1 CONC on for women to bear 10 to 12 children, all without benefit of pain reli 1 CONC ef for childbirth. Childbirth mortalitly was high for both mothers and inf 1 CONC ants. 1 CONT 1 CONT There was plenty of work on the farm from early to late for the adults. T 1 CONC he children had their chores to do when they came home from school: filli 1 CONC ng the woodbox, gathering the eggs, feeding the farm stock, hoeing and wee 1 CONC ding the garden, carrying water from the spring. Older boys, of course, wo 1 CONC rked in the fields alongside the men. 1 CONT 1 CONT Girls would learn from a young age to sew and embroider small items, oft 1 CONC en for their treasured rag or straw dolls. Many a young girl slightly burn 1 CONC ed a finger or two baking her first pie under the tutalage of her moth 1 CONC er or grandmother. Older girls kept an eye on their smaller siblings. As t 1 CONC hey became adolescents, the girls were expected to do everything the wom 1 CONC en did. For by the time they were eighteen to 20, they would have homes a 1 CONC nd families of their own to care for and they needed to be prepared. 1 CONT 1 CONT But there was still time for fun. For the boys, hunting and fishing masque 1 CONC raded as too much fun to be work. There was always the "ol' swimming hol 1 CONC e" for the boys as well. All children loved "going nutting" and gatheri 1 CONC ng berries, sometimes eating as many as they put in their baskets. Cats a 1 CONC nd dogs were everywhere on the farm, and also youngsters usually made pe 1 CONC ts of all the young livestock--calves, colts, chicks and even the piglet 1 CONC s. There were horses to ride; all the children knew how to harness, dri 1 CONC ve and ride horses. A treat for the youngsters on cold, long winter evenin 1 CONC gs would be gathering around the fireplace to roast nuts or pop popcorn. 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 0 @I0381@ INDI 1 NAME Emma /Owers/ 1 SEX F 1 ALIA /Polly/ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1826 2 PLAC England 1 DEAT 2 DATE 1887 2 PLAC Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 1 FAMS @F0276@ 1 FAMS @F0277@ 1 FAMS @F0262@ 0 @I0382@ INDI 1 NAME Jonathan /Rhode/ 1 SEX M 1 BIRT 2 DATE MAR 1839 2 PLAC Warren Co., Indiana 1 DEAT 2 DATE 18 JUL 1854 2 PLAC Tabor, Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 2 CAUS Killed by lightning 1 BURI 2 DATE UNKNOWN 2 PLAC Rhode Cemetery, Tabor, Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 1 FAMC @F0261@ 0 @I0383@ INDI 1 NAME Harriet /Rhode/ 1 SEX F 1 BIRT 2 DATE ABT 1840 2 PLAC Lead Hill, Boone Co., Arkansas 1 DEAT 2 DATE AFT 1880 2 PLAC Rawls, Mills Co., Iowa? 1 FAMS @F0278@ 1 FAMS @F0279@ 1 FAMC @F0261@ 1 NOTE @NI0383@ 0 @NI0383@ NOTE 1 CONC Ella Morris is too old to be William Morris' daughter.

His father, John Rhode, was a native of Oh 1 CONC io, born in the western part of that state in 1817. When a boy he we 1 CONC nt to Indiana and afterward to Arkansas, where he remained for four year 1 CONC s, after which he returned to the old home in the Hoosier state. He w 1 CONC as of German lineage, for the great-grandfather of our subject came to t 1 CONC he new world from Germany. 1 CONT 1 CONT The grandparents of our subject were Jonathan and Harriet (Rosencrans) Rho 1 CONC de. The latter died in Arkansas about 1842, and the grandfather subsequen 1 CONC tly returned to Indiana, where his death occurred about 1845, having reach 1 CONC ed an advanced age when called to the home beyond. They reared five so 1 CONC ns and two daughters, who have families. Two uncles and two aunts of o 1 CONC ur subject lived and died in Indiana, while John, Daniel and Joe Rhode a 1 CONC ll came to Iowa, John and Joseph having arrived in the state in 1851, whi 1 CONC le Daniel preceded them, having removed from Arkansas to Iowa in 184 1 CONC 7. He was amongthe early settlers in the vicinity of Hamburg and before 1 1 CONC 851 he came to Fremont county and filed claims to a large tract of land, t 1 CONC hus becoming the owner of eighteen hundred acres. He was one of the wealt 1 CONC hy men in the country for his time. He entered nearly all the land at o 1 CONC ne dollar and a quarter per acre and took an active part in reclaiming t 1 CONC he primitive prairie for purposes of civilization, his improvement of h 1 CONC is property promoting the general prosperity as well as his individual suc 1 CONC cess. 1 CONT 1 CONT On coming from Arkansas he drove one hundred head of steers to Iowa, whe 1 CONC re he sold them to the Mormons who were en route to Utah. The purchase pr 1 CONC ice was about eight dollars per head and he sold them at from eighty to o 1 CONC ne hundred dollas per yoke, thus realizing a handsome profit. 1 CONT 1 CONT The Rhode brothers were prominently known in Fremont county as leading bus 1 CONC iness men and the name has been inseparably connected with the histo 1 CONC ry of this portion of the state. The mother of our subject bore the maid 1 CONC en name of Polly Cobb and was born in Lawrence county, Indiana, in which s 1 CONC tate she gave her hand in marriage to John Rhode. 1 CONT 1 CONT Our subject was their first child and at the time of his birth the fath 1 CONC er was but twenty-one years of age. In their family were four children, t 1 CONC he second being Elizabeth, the wife of Josiah Eggleston, who is livingat P 1 CONC uget Sound, Washington, and has three children. Hannah is the wife of M 1 CONC r. Buffington, a farmer of Nebraska, living in the Niobrara river countr 1 CONC y. Her first husband was Mr. Tarpening and she has three children. The f 1 CONC ourth member of the Rhode family was a son who died in infancy. The moth 1 CONC er died in Indiana, about 1825, and the father was again married, in Lawre 1 CONC nce county, that state, his second union being with Miss Martha Scot 1 CONC t, by whom he had eight children, five sons and three daughters. The elde 1 CONC st, Joseph, died at the age of fifteen years, and with the exception of t 1 CONC wo others all were married. 1 CONT 1 CONT Great changes have come since John Rhode and his brother Joseph travel 1 CONC ed to Iowa in the true 1 CONT emigrant style, with two large covered wagons, each drawn by four yo 1 CONC ke of oxen, and two two -horse wagons, while each of the brothers also h 1 CONC ad five cows. As they crossed Illinois in the spring their wagons often g 1 CONC ot stuck in the mud, at which times they would double the teams and thus e 1 CONC xtricate the wagons. They were two months in making the journey and arriv 1 CONC ed in Fremont county in July or August. 1 CONT 1 CONT The two brothers located near their brother, Daniel, and the father of o 1 CONC ur subject paid six hundred dollars to John Hughes for his timber clai 1 CONC m. He secured timber land, which everybody considered the most desirabl 1 CONC e, the prairies being regarded as comparatively worthless, as there was n 1 CONC ot timber to fence them. Then, too, on the prairies it was so cold and bl 1 CONC eak that the settlers feared that they might freeze to death. Sever 1 CONC al of the pioneers did die upon those broad open stretches of country. 1 CONT 1 CONT About six years before his death, John Rhode buried his second wife. He p 1 CONC assed away about 1896, upon the farm where he located in 1852, living th 1 CONC en in a log cabin. About 1857, however, he had erected the present lar 1 CONC ge frame house. At one time he was the owner of eight hundred acres of la 1 CONC nd and at his death he was still in possession of three hundred acres havi 1 CONC ng given the remainder to his children, to whom he either donated la 1 CONC nd or money. 1 CONT 1 CONT Daniel T. Rhode, whose name begins this record was reared upon his father 1 CONC 's farm. He was thirteen years of age when he came to Iowa, and here he r 1 CONC emained until the 1st of May, 1859. He was of the number who started f 1 CONC or Pike's Peak, on the discovery of gold there, but after spending one sum 1 CONC mer in that country he returned home. While en route he saw a number of b 1 CONC uffaloes and killed three in one place. He remained with his parents unt 1 CONC il the spring of 1862, when he returned Pike's Peak, Colorado, remaining f 1 CONC or eighteen months, during which time he worked on the stage route, buildi 1 CONC ng log houses and barns. He then went to Idaho, where he engaged in mini 1 CONC ng gold for three months, and then returned with ten thousand dolla 1 CONC rs of the precious metal. In one day he secured gold to the value of fift 1 CONC een hundred and twelve dollars, having in one pan eighty-two dollars. Th 1 CONC is fortunate find came to him just at the right moment, for he and his par 1 CONC tner were almost destitute of funds when they discovered the mine, in wh 1 CONC at was known as Stinking Water Gulch. They accidentally discovered the go 1 CONC ld by digging at the side of a boulder, and Mr. Rhode still has in his pos 1 CONC session nuggets which he found and which are worth from fifty to one hundr 1 CONC ed and twenty-seven dollars. 1 CONT 1 CONT When twenty-nine years of age, on the 21st of March, 1868, Mr. Rhode was u 1 CONC nited in marriage to Miss Sarah C. Taliaferro, who was born in Missour 1 CONC i, a daughter of James and Catherine (Holland) Taliaferro, the former a na 1 CONC tive of Missouri and of French ancestry, while the latter was a nati 1 CONC ve of Ohio. Unto our subject and his wife have been born eleven childre 1 CONC n, three of whom died in childhood. The others are Dora, the wife of Char 1 CONC les Delaney, by whom she has two children; Clara May, who is the wife of G 1 CONC eorge Plank, and has two children, both of whom are now in Oregon; Wilber 1 CONC t, who died at the age of twenty-six years; Alonzo, who is a farmer of th 1 CONC is neighborhood and has a wife and one son; Maggie, the wife of Alonzo Kem 1 CONC pton, also a resident farmer of Green township; Curtis, a young man of tw 1 CONC enty-one now in Oregon; Albert, who died at the age of fourteen years; Pea 1 CONC rl, Richard and Daniel, aged respectively, seventeen, fourteen and nine ye 1 CONC ars; and Ruby, who died at the age of four years. 1 CONT 1 CONT Mr. Rhode is six feet in height and weighs two hundred and fifty-three pou 1 CONC nds, and we seldom meet a man of greater strength or endurance. Of stro 1 CONC ng domestic tastes, his greatest enjoyment comes to himthrough his associa 1 CONC tions of home. He is today the owner of four hundred and eighty acr 1 CONC es of land, of which one hundred and fifty is timber. He also has ten acr 1 CONC es and a good residence in Tabor. He has recently purchased two thousa 1 CONC nd acres in Kansas, upon which he has placed his son Alonzo. He carri 1 CONC es on general farming and in addition successfully follows stock-raisin 1 CONC g, keeping on hand twenty-four horses, while annually he feeds and sells o 1 CONC ne hundred head of shorthorn cattle. He has the most of his land seeded d 1 CONC own and has grown from six to seven thousand bushels of corn in a year. H 1 CONC is fine timber is largely black walnut. Fine modern improvements may be s 1 CONC een on his place, including his mammoth barn, which is forty by seventy-t 1 CONC wo feet, with sixteen foot posts. It is all built of hewed frame timbe 1 CONC rs from his woods and has an eight-foot basement. Everything about the pl 1 CONC ace is neat and thrifty and up to date. 1 CONT 1 CONT In his political views Mr. Rhode is a Republican, having supported the par 1 CONC ty since casting his first 1 CONT presidential ballot for Abraham Lincoln. He has served as school direct 1 CONC or and road commissioner, but has never been an aspirant for office, prefe 1 CONC rring to devote his time and energies to his business affairs, in whi 1 CONC ch he has met with creditable success. 1 CONT 1 CONT THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD 1 CONT March 19, 1907 1 CONT 1 CONT Retains Gold Nuggets. Daniel T. Rhode, who died in Oregon about a year a 1 CONC go and who for many years was a resident of Green township two miles south 1 CONC west of Tabor, was the possessor of a fine collection of gold nuggets a 1 CONC nd in the distribution of the estate his wife was privileged by order of t 1 CONC he court to retain these nuggets from being sold by the administrator. The 1 CONC se nuggets have a history if the details 1 CONT could be followed, but only a mere mention can be made from facts gain 1 CONC ed by interviewing W. B. Cantwell of this city, who knew Rhode at Virgin 1 CONC ia City, Montana in 1864. D. T. Rhode and John Argyle discovered the Summ 1 CONC it district of Alder Gulch on July 4, 1863, and the fame of that noted min 1 CONC ing camp soon spread through the length and breadth of the whole west a 1 CONC nd thousands of people rushed thereto, a few to succeed and many to be dis 1 CONC appointed. Rhode and Argyle had their claims which they worked from July u 1 CONC ntil the mining operations stopped on account of cold weather when they so 1 CONC ld out for a sum amounting to perhaps $13,000 a piece. How to get away wi 1 CONC th that much money was a question , as the road agents were so bold th 1 CONC at it was 1 CONT almost impossible to get money out of that locality by stage or private co 1 CONC nveyance, but Rhode and Argyle hit upon a plan that was successful. They p 1 CONC ut the gold dust into bucksin sacks and these sacks they put inside of 1 CONT the collars they worked upon their mule team. The sacks containing the nug 1 CONC getts they took care of in some other way and of nights when they campe 1 CONC d, they hid these nugget sacks in the snow and thus they followed that pl 1 CONC an until they reached Salt Lake City, Utah, and from there they came ho 1 CONC me by the way of Denver, Colo, by more safe protection of travel. 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 1 CONT 0 @I0485@ INDI 1 NAME Sarah /Taliferro/ 1 SEX F 1 BIRT 2 DATE 30 SEP 1852 2 PLAC Bethany Co., Missouri 1 DEAT 2 DATE 2 MAR 1915 2 PLAC Tabor, Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa or Clarkson Hospital, Omaha, Douglas Co., Nebraska 1 FAMS @F0322@ 1 NOTE @NI0485@ 0 @NI0485@ NOTE 1 CONC The Tabor Beacon 1 CONT Tabor, Fremont county, Iowa 1 CONT March 11, 1915 1 CONT 1 CONT The funeral services for Mrs. Sarah Rhode were held Thursday at 2:30 at t 1 CONC he home of her daughter, Mrs. A.

Her childhood was spent upon the R 1 CONC hode Brother's farm, two miles east of Tabor. In 1890 the family mov 1 CONC ed to the present home. Thus her entire life has been passed in this commu 1 CONC nity, where she has filled and important place. 1 CONT 1 CONT Her education was secured first at Hill school east of town, then in the T 1 CONC abor public schools, and in Tabor College, from which she graduated in 190 1 CONC 5. Of her class of six, she is the third to finish this earth's school, a 1 CONC nd to pass on to the school eternal. 1 CONT 1 CONT In 1894, Alice united with the Congregational church, and about the same t 1 CONC ime, when only 13 years old, became a member of the choir. From that ti 1 CONC me on she has been a valuable assistant in the musical organization of t 1 CONC he town. Possessing the gift of a beautiful voice, she has always us 1 CONC ed it willingly and freely. Many know the comfort her song has brought th 1 CONC em in their sorrow at the passing of loved ones. 1 CONT 1 CONT As a teacher she has been in close association with the young people of t 1 CONC he community. For about three years she taught in the rural schools, and s 1 CONC he was now completing her tenth year of active service in the Tabor Conso 1 CONC lidated Schools. Her tact, humor and sympathy have made her an ideal gui 1 CONC de for young people; she has endeared herself alike to the hearts of her s 1 CONC tudents and her fellow teachers; she has kept the interest of many boys a 1 CONC nd girls upon their school work through the difficult years of early adole 1 CONC scence; many splendid young men and women today call her blessed for the e 1 CONC ncouragement and inspiration she has been to their lives. 1 CONT 1 CONT Words fail to tell the influence she has been in the home, where since t 1 CONC he death of her mother, Alice has taken a mother's place in the household. 1 CONT 1 CONT Her illness was brief. Upon the morning of the first day of the new yea 1 CONC r, Alice began her new life in the world where there is no car or sorrow. 1 CONT 1 CONT There was waiting for her the mother, one sister, and the uncle, for so ma 1 CONC ny years a part of the Rhode household, There survives the father, one sis 1 CONC ter Mabel, the brother, John, with his wife, Mildred, and the children wh 1 CONC om Alice loved so well, Harriett, Jonathan and Marcia. 0 @I0744@ INDI 1 NAME Mabel /Rhode/ 1 SEX F 1 BIRT 2 DATE NOV 1882 2 PLAC Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 1 DEAT 2 DATE 1941 2 PLAC Tabor, Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 1 RESI 2 PLAC Tabor, Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 1 OCCU 2 PLAC Teacher 1 FAMC @F0407@ 1 NOTE @NI0744@ 0 @NI0744@ NOTE 1 CONC Never married. 0 @I0745@ INDI 1 NAME John L. /Rhode/ 1 SEX M 1 BIRT 2 DATE 15 SEP 1895 2 PLAC Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 1 DEAT 2 DATE 30 OCT 1967 2 PLAC Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 1 RESI 2 PLAC Tabor, Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 1 RESI 2 DATE 1930 2 PLAC Tabor, Ross Twp., Fremont Co., Iowa 1 OCCU 2 PLAC Farmer and mechanic 1 FAMS @F0408@ 1 FAMC @F0407@ 1 NOTE @NI0745@ 0 @NI0745@ NOTE 1 CONC The Tabor Beacon 1 CONT Tabor, Iowa 1 CONT Wednesday November 8, 1967 1 CONT Page 4, Col 4 1 CONT 1 CONT Final Rites Held For John L.
