This is Sharon's maternal grandmother's side of the
family.
The resident historian is Mabel Starcher
Chapman,
Sharon's first cousin once removed,
whom I met at a reunion at Mabel's home in Ripley, West Virginia, the
summer
of 1994 and who still lives there. Most of this
information
so far, however, comes from another of Sharon's first
cousins once removed, Dorothy Raines
Stalnaker
of Dunbar, WV, in Nov 1996 and following, and from the families
themselves.
I'm attempting to list here the generations before and since Emmett
M. Rhodes.
Bulletin, July 25, 1999--This
just
in from another Rhodes descendant, Mary Jo Dearing: She has found
Emmett M. Rhodes in the 1880 census of Jackson County, WV (next county
over to the west from Roane) listed as age 8, along with his siblings,
parents, and paternal grandparents. A quick call to Dorothy
Stalnaker
substantiated several pieces of the information (Emmett's birth year
and
a sibling's name), leading me to believe that it is in fact the same
family!
I am now in the process of entering these data onto this page.
What
fun! :-)
Pieces of her posts:
I have...an 1880 Jackson county census record here that lists Emmett
M....age 8. Father is Isaiah and mother is Manda J. with children
Agnes,
Manuel, Cordelia,Mary A., Ezra,Bennett and Alfred C. If you
have Emmett as having first child in 1890, he would be about
18...possibly
the one you're looking for.
...it has W014 beside the family...is another
family on this page with
same no.
...Alexander age 74 and Mahala age 69, so could possibly be Isaiah's
parents...
re... the code numbers... the W is for the
location...the other no.
is household no., so I would definitely say that the Isaiah and
Alexander
are related.
Also, here is a page to check out: it is email
addresses for people
researching Rhodes in Roane county, WVand maybe one of them could help
you.
