Just received more information on this surname. Cicero Rhoades was a Civil War Vet - who served under General Braxton Bragg, Company A - Infantry and fought at the Battle of Stone River (Murfreesboro). He was born in Mississippi but lived most of his life in Millington TN. Obit states he was 87 yrs old at time of death (no year/date on obit). Obit shows RHODES not RHOADES. Other info was taken from an article called "Thirty Seconds >From Death" Johnny Reb, Ill, Recalls Slaughter. Possibly from a Memphis newspaper????? Any info would be appreciated. Denise and Billy Flynn (great-great grandson of Cicero RHOADES) ----- Original Message ----- From: <TNSHELBY-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: <TNSHELBY-D@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2000 11:35 AM Subject: TNSHELBY-D Digest V00 #5
