Although this is being posted months after the original post, and I hope you have found your ancestor, there is something to be said about the spelling of the Rhoden name.It is MY name, however, it is NOT the spelling that MY ancenstors used.They actually did very little spelling, since most all of OUR ancestors in the 1700-1900's COULD NOT READ OR WRITE!!The written records reflect the spellingthat the census enumerator or the record clerk chose.Ed Rhoden
