Thanks for your response.I have a John Rhodes who lived in Alexandria, VA in 1799.He was a carpenter with a wife and 3 children.In Alexandria in the early 1800s there also was a William Rhodes listed as a merchant (wife Rosanna)...also Capt. Anthony Rhodes... and Peter Rhodes (wife Drusilla Stroud).I have not been able to figure out these relationships.Biographical information on a son of John Rhodes says that he came from "an old and highly respected Virginia family" and that he witnessed the burning of Washington in the War of 1812...Does anything here click with your research?Of course Alexandria VA was part of DC in the early 1800s.Dottie
