Betty, Your (or your husband's) surname is interesting to me. My grandmother had a brother named William McDuff Roden/Rhoades and father named David McDuff Rhoades/Roden. Another brother was named Robert Wesley Roden. Sisters were Maggie and Eliza Ozella Roden. I am wondering if you have any RHODESes/RHOADESes/RODENs in the 1800s either as direct ancestors or siblings or cousins.
