[John M. Gwin Note: The information on this page was originally borrowed from other sources and not documented by me. My wife's family is of the Rhodes line, and I most gratefully copied this collection here for the benefit of others who may be researching it. I believe there may be much more information available from these fine researchers, but as I recall, I originally copied here only that of direct lineage to my wife's family. In April 2011, I began looking in the various censuses for several of these families, listing my results here. Please direct any questions to the following contributors or to me, John Gwin, at jmcdgwin@zianet.com--thanks!]
