Hello. I understand that these surnames are common in Lebanon County. I have little information about these ancestors so will post what I have and hope for luck that someone recognizes this Rhodes or Bender. Ann RHODES was of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry as was her husband Jacob BENDER. She had a sister Margaret who was married to Judge Edwin B. Crocker, brother to Charles Crocker, one of the builders of the Central Pacific Railroad. Jacob and Ann lived for some time in Akron, OH, where they were farmers. They then moved to South Bend, IN, then Bell Creek, NE and on in May of 1863, they left for Virginia City, NV. Two of their sons were already in NV employed as telegraphers. Does anyone recognize Rhodes or Bender? Thank you, Stephanie Colorado
