Also want to thank Vivian Brownlie for the marriage certificate for George and Georgia Ann Rhodes, and the death certificate for Georgia Ann Rhodes. Thanks to Lena Allen for the birth and death information on Nancy Rodes-Allen. My Mother Nora Rhodes-Jones had told my sister, Connie Roberts about Paralee Rhodes dying when she was "young", (she was not in the 1900 Scott Co., Census with her Family). Thanks to Christine Vick-Ashlock for her death info on Martha Rodes. ******************************** 8th Generation Caroline Roden "aka" Rodes d/o John F Roden and Rachel Roden, sister to William Roden "aka" Rodes, born ca 1836 Tenn died between 1873 and 1880 AR, married William McCray Sr., b. ca 1810 Tenn., died after 1880 AR.
