  • Notes 
    • Will of Abraham Rhodes, SMC, 7/19/1797-9/12/1797, JJ#2, fol. 197. Son:
      Ignatius Rhodes, half of the plantation where I now where the dwelling house
      stands. Son: Benedict Rhodes, the remaining half of my plantation.
      Daughter: Mary Rhodes, a negro boy named George; a negro girl named Anna;
      and one good feather bed and furniture. Daughter: Ann Rhodes, a negro boy
      named Tom; a negro girl Sarah; and one good feather bed and furniture.
      Sons: James Rhodes, William Rhodes and Cornelius Rhodes, the residue of my
      estate equally divided. Executors.: Sons, William Rhodes and Benedict
      Rhodes. Witnesses: James Hopewell, John Booth Abell, Edward Ford. NOTE:
      Widow renounced will and elected her third. (St. Mary's County, Maryland
      Wills, 1791-1802 by Linda Reno and Joann Humphries).

      William Rhodes was one of his father's executors, therefore he was of age in
      1797--that's why I show him being born prior to 1777. This all of the
      information that I have on William.ToddWhitesides@aol.com wrote:

John Byrne (b. 17 Oct. 1785 - d. 27 Jan. 1851) and his wife Catharine (b. ca. 1785 - d. 28 Sep. 1843) are buried in St. Martin of Tours Catholic Cemetery in Flaherty, Meade County, Kentucky. John's brother Rev. Robert Byrne (1792-1856) was resident pastor of the Holy Cross congregation in Kentucky.

Sarah Elizabeth's brother James M. Rhodes (1822-1886) married (as his first wife) on 16 Nov. 1847 at the same church to Catharine C. S. Byrne (1828-1852).

      >This Rhodes family has a line of descent from the Gough Family of St. Mary's County, Maryland, and also had some members who migrated to Kentucky via Loudoun County, Virginia. John Abraham Rhodes (mentioned above) was a grandson of Abraham Rhodes of Fosbury Plains (in St. Mary's Hundred), St. Mary's County, Maryland, by his first known wife Mary Gough.
