Francis Augustus Rodman
Francis Augustus Rodman is my great grandfatherand was born in Liepsig, Germany Abt. 1829. He had two brothers, Edward and Herman. As the story goes his grandmother (no name) raised him after his mother died giving birth to Edward. His Father died of a 'broken heart' when he found out his wife died giving birth while he was in Java at the family Coffee Plantation. He arrived in America Abt. 1850 and married Marie(Lydia) Eberwine of Kentucky.He went on to become Secretary of State of Missouri 1865-1870. I dont know how to find out who his parents are. This is all in a letter from Marie Sexton to her Nephew Herman Julius Rodman wriiten 26 Oct 1940.
