My McMinn, Polk, Monroe Co. surnames are RODDEN, LEWIS, RUTHERFORD, STEPHENS, LANDERS, HILL, MORRIS and LAMBERT. All listed surnames connect to the original RODDEN family that migrated to Monroe Co., TN in 1827. All RODDENS of these areas descend from this family. I am trying to connect as many descendants of this family (many known to be in McMinn, Monroe, and Polk Co., TN) as possible to gather clues. If you think you may be connected, or just happen to have any of the above surnames in your line, or possibly descend from any of the families below and would like to compare notes to see, please contact me at Tameria@mindspring.com.
