    1. [MADKY] Rodes Family of Virginia with some Historical Notes
    2. Those of you who have access to the online genealogical database HeritageQuest may be interested in reading about the Rodes family of Louisa Co., VA, of Albemarle Co., VA, and of Madison Co., KY. There is a little bit of history involved besides family history--about the Trustees of Boonesborough, for example. I will give below the title of the Book which has been digitized and is on HeritageQuest, available at many public libraries and some State libraries. I believe only public libraries can now subscribe. Some genealogical societies subscribed for a time, but I believe ProQuest withdrew their subscriptions. Ask your reference librarian where you can find a nearby public library which subscribes. If it is a *foreign* library, perhaps you can pay an annual fee for a card, which card's number probably will be your password. Here is the title A short history and genelaogy of the English family Rodes, who reached America in the 17th century and first settled in New Kent County, Virginia. New York: Ferris Print. Co., 1929, 54 pgs. For Harris-Hunters, one of the John Rodes males married a Harris bride.
