RHODES/RHOADS/ROTH Looking for any record of Daniel & Catherine Rhoads, w. Hanover Twp, Dauphin Co., PA, b. abt 1835, m. abt 1855, d. perhaps in Civil War. My G-Greatfather was Willoughby R. Rhoads, b. 26 Oct 1857, w. Hanover Twp, Dauphin Co., PA (& Bapt. 8 Dec 1857) as per Birth & Baptism record, Wenrich Church, Linglestown, PA. His parents were listed as Daniel & Catherine Rhoads. I have his(?) textbook with the following Inscription: "Willoughby Roth's Arithmetic, School No. 6, Dec. 2nd 1859, signature illegible, Teacher". (Family history has held that Roth or Rotz was the original name.) The 1870 Census lists: Roth, Willoughby, Age 14, b. 1856; Servant in household of Charles Zettelmoyer, Berks Co., Greenwich Twp. I don't know if this is my G-Greatfather. His father may well have died in the Civil War & he had to work for this family. Willoughby Rhoads married Margaret Rebecca SHEPLER, b. 15 May 1856, Middle Pacton Twp. Their son (my grandfather) was Irvin Albert Rhoads, b. 22 Jul 1877; Bapt. 22 Dec 1878; parents Willoughby & Maggie Rhoads as per Birth & Baptism record, Wenrich Church. I have Margaret's prayer book, "The Heidelberg Catechism", German Reformed Church in the USA, 1809. On the inside left leaf is written MAGGIE SHEPLER; On the right leaf MAGGIE RHOADS MIDDLE PAXTON TOWNSHIP, DAUPHIN CNTY PA. Margaret died 3 May 1886 (at age 30) & is buried at Wenrich Church Cemetery, Linglestown, PA with HER parents, Samuel & Regina(ALBERT) Shepler. Marker reads: "Margaret R.; b. 15 May 1856; d.3 May 1886; 30.0.15; w/ of Willoughby Rhodes". Willoughby (& Irvin) moved to Springfield, Ohio & remarried. Jerry Rhodes
