Surnames: Rhoads and or Purdin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WBB.2ACI/2117.2 Message Board Post: I am doing research of my grandfather, Homer Cluxton Purdin, born on March 23, 1894 and died on August 9, 1969. He was married to Mabel Grace Rhoads. Looking at the 1900 Census, his father is listed as Charles Pudin, and his mother as Mary W. They have Homer listed as Omar. He has brothers, Oscar, George, and Delbert. According to the 1900 Census, his brother Delbert is listed as Albert and he has a sister Emma L. and Clara M. I don't know what info. is right. If these names look familiar, please contact me at lisa_anna@peoplepc.com

It is my understanding that many German families gave all their boys the first name of Johann and all their girsl first names of Maria so if the devil tried to claim them, he would be so confused he would give up!

Ginny, Thank for the info. The Gray family also named their Kids one family after the one before. Again Thanks. Jim

The problem with the early German families in PA is that they named their daughters with a name they rarely used. Maria, Anna, etc. Then called them by their middle names. It makes it very difficult to trace them unless you have a marriage record. It appears they married in Lancaster Co PA luckily. They have wonderful records there. Contact the genealogical society for Lancaster Co PA and inquire about their marriage record. Ancestry. com has much info but like everywhere else, it is submitted by other researchers and no sources are listed. However, it is a wonderful starting point. Matthew Gray born ca 1747 Lancaster Co PA, died 1836 Mill Creek, Mason Co KY. Married Ann/Nancy _____ b 1750 Fleming, KY, d 20 Jan 1852 Mays Lick, Mason Co KY> md ca 1776 PA { Here is a classic of what I said in my first paragraph. She is listed as born in KY and married in PA???] Children posted for them; Andrew, Nancy, William H., Mary, James, Harrison, Augustus,, Isaac, Samuel, Alexander, John b ca 1777 Lancaster, PA, and Thomas b 1817- [too much of an age gap here] Some submitters said Ann/Nancy was Rebecca Shaffer} Matthew Gray son of; John Gray and Rachel Ross. Ch. Matthew b ca 1747 Bart, Lancaster, PA John Gray Archibald b ca 1757 Chillisquaque, Northumberland, PA. John Gray was son of: Matthew Gray b 1768 Lancaster PA [Obviously this date is too early for him to be father of John above who married Rachel. Matthew died 19 Oct 1768 [same year he was born- must be a typo] in Bart, Lancaster, PA. He married Isabella, Children; Jacob, James, Rebecca, John, Jennet, Elizabeth **************** Above needs lots of proving but may have some new clue to follow up on? ******************* ·:*¨¨*:·.~* Ginny *~.·:*¨¨*:·.

Can any one help? Trying to find any info on Rebecca Ann Shaffer who was born in Pa Died in Maysville Mason County, KY Was married to: Matthew Gray born 1747 in Pa Died about DEC-1836 in Mason County, KY? Thanks for your time. Jim Gray

Virginia, Morgan Bryan STRODE [b. 27 Jun 1799 - d. aft 1880] md. Nancy PERRY [fa. ? PERRY / mo. Mary ?]. They married 21 Nov 1829, Mason Co., KY. Nancy was born ca. 1807, KY / died bet 1860-1862. They were the parents of Morgan, Wallace, Serepta, James S., and Gilbert M. STRODE. As you can see, I know next to nothing about the PERRY line, but would love to learn more about Nancy's parents.

I saw your message referring to marriages in Mason Co, KY of persons surnamed Strode and PERRY. Do you have more information on the Perry - Strode marriage? Who? When? I am descended from Benjamin Perry and his wife Lucretia Hamar / Haymore, who married in Mason Co, KY in about 1797. Please let me know if you have any relevant information. Thanks!

In researching my STRODE lineage in Mason County, I keep finding Don Juan STRODE; however, I've been unable to connect him to anyone in the family. I'm hoping that someone will be able to tell me how and where he fits. To date this is what I've learned of the illusive Don Juan: Don Juan STRODE - born ca. 1832, KY, most likely the son/o Don Juan STRODE [b. ca. 1802, KY] & Minerva ? [b. ca. 1814, OH] The elder Don Juan appeared in the 1850 census, East Maysville, Mason Co., age 48, a drayman with wife Minerva, age 36; Malissa, age 16; James and John, both age 13; Philip, age 10; Amanda and Charles, both age 8; George T., age 5; Hannah A., age 1; and Charles BRITTER ?, also age 1. Don Juan, the younger, appeared in 1850 also in East Maysville, age 18, a blacksmith in the Wm. W. CLANAHAN household. John Don Juan STRODE md. 1) Mary Jane SHEPPARD, 12 May 1853, East Maysville, Mason Co. Mary Jane died 2 Feb 1857 of consumption. 2 children were born to Don Juan & Mary Jane: 1. Alice STRODE - b. Feb 1853, Maysville, Mason Co., KY / d. 22 Feb 1917, Campbell Co., KY / md. William ADAMSON, 28 Aug 1872. Alice, age 6, appeared in her father's household in East Maysville, in 1860, but with her maternal grandparents, John A. & Elizabeth (Lizzie) SHEPARD, in 1870, in Maysville. 2. George STRODE - b. 21 Jan 1856, East Maysville, Mason Co., KY. George, age 4, also appeared in his father's household in East Maysville in 1860. In 1880 George W. STRODE, age 25, a farm laborer, appeared in the Frances M. Davis household in Orangeburg, Mason Co., KY; and in 1910, as a 54-year-old single farmer, he appeared in Coahoma Co., Mississippi. Don Juan STODE md. 2) Lucinda BURRIS, 1 Aug 1859, Mason Co., KY. There were apparently no children born of this union. Don Juan, a blacksmith, age 27, & Lucinda STRODE, age 20, appeared in the 1860 census in East Maysville with his dau. Alice, age 6, and his son George, age 4, by his previous marriage to Mary Jane SHEPPARD. Also in the same household are James STRODE, a blacksmith age 23, and Charles STRODE, a blacksmith age 17, who appear to be the sons of the elder Don Juan STODE and most likely the younger Don Juan's brothers. In 1870 Don Juan STRODE appeared in the census for Coahoma Co., Mississippi. [This is the same place where son George was found in 1910] By 1870 Don Juan , now age 37, has apparently married a 3rd time to Elizabeth ?, age 27 and a native of Mississippi. No others are enumerated in his household in 1870. To date this is all I have learned of the illusive Don Juan. I would appreciate any assistance in learning the father of the elder Don Juan, b. ca. 1802, KY, and tying this family to the rest of the Mason County, KY STRODE family.

Do you know who is parents were? Have you already checked the 1880 census at www.familysearch.org? There's two George W. Hunts on the 1880 census that are about the same age. One is the son of Samuel C. HUNT and they are in Burdens, Butler, Kentucky. One is the son of William HUNT and they are in Millers Creek, Estill, Kentucky.

They came to Mason County around 1789/90. It is possible that your Joseph Wells could be their child. Let me know if you turn up anything about his parents. Thanks
