No Benneville listed in marriages there either with spelling RHOADES,RHODES, RODES, ROADS, var. Try other churches in the area, Amity churches had several of that surname earlier (bef 1800). I did find 2 marriages at First Reformed Church, Reading, for a Beneville RHOADS, but not sure if either are the father of William S., since the first one is after his birth. There is no baptism at First Reformed for a William S born May 1835 Rhoads, Beneville and Raushe Mary 12/24/1835 Rhoads, Beneville of Amity Township and Lewis, Rebecca of Robeson Township 1/28/1849 Diana in AL Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
