I have bits & pieces -- Sipron Rhodes m Anne Bray b1857, d/o George Washington Bray, Jr. and Louisa Cordelia Howard, d/o Richard Howard and Louisa Howard b Nov 5, 1805 Washington Co. KY and died Mar 7, 1895 Daviess Co., KY, d/o Charles Howard and Ann Panny Thompson. According to Mrs. Hamilton's book, Charles Howard and John Baptist Howard (who also had a son named Charles) were brothers?? There are several Rhodes connected to this family but none matching any of the Rhodes names you mentioned. Can anyone help us here?? Curiously, in my data base I have John Baptist VanReswick bca 1730 m Appalonia (Unknown) ..... wonder if there is a connection here, too.

In St Mary Cemetery, J. Merritt Rhodes, b. 10/15/1876, d. _________?, Wife Cassandra, there too. No indication of the parentage of Joseph Alfred Howard. Lots of mystery here. Tony Howard "Mary L.
