I'm looking for any information on Thomas RHOADES b. about 1812 in GA (according to census & his son, Jesse) In 1837 he married Ann LINDLEY (b. about 1821). On the 1840 Walton County, GA census they had a daughter, Lella (b. about 1839). They lived in Lindley's District of Walton County, according to that same 1840 census. I was told that Thomas had married Martha LINDSEY, & that is what is on Thomas' son's, Jesse, pension application as being Jesse's parents. Jesse was their youngest child. The only marriage I've found,so far, for Thomas, is to Ann LINDLEY. On the 1850 Walton County census, I've found Thomas (1813-GA), Martha (1815-GA), Lella (1839-GA), James (1841-GA), Martha (1843-GA), William J. (1845-GA), Sarah (1846-GA), & Jesse T. (1849-GA). On the 1860 census, they have moved to Cobb County, GA, & there's not a Martha (1815-GA) or Lella listed. I feel certain that Lella had married, & Martha had probably died?. 1870 census shows Thomas living with Martha, John(1864-GA), & Nancy????(1867-GA) in Paulding Co., & 1880 census (Cherokee Coounty) has Thomas, Martha, John, Delilah (1867-GA), Green (1871-GA), & Samuel (1872 or 1877-GA). Martha is 34 years younger than Thomas, but she's listed as his wife. What does everybody think about all this? Bettie <><
