(1.b.2.e.9) Robert R. Rhodes

Son of William Leper Rhodes and Rebecca J. Rollins

MY GRANDFATHER OTTO M. RHODES ALWAYS SAID THAT WILLIAM LEPER RHODES WAS HIS GRANDFATHER.

THIS IS WHERE ITS GETS A LITTLE CONFUSING.

ACCORDING TO THE CENSUS, ROBERT R. RHODES WAS FOUND IN THE

"1860 JACKSON COUNTY CENSUS", LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF JACOB RHODES AT AGE 2.

"1870 JACKSON COUNTY CENSUS", LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF JACOB RHODES AT AGE 11.

"1880 ROANE COUNTY CENSUS", LIVING WITH HIS NEW BRIDE REBECCA J. GREEN. THE ROANE COUNTY CENSUS LISTS WILLIAM LEPER RHODES AS BEING HIS FATHER.

SO IF WILLIAM IS THE FATHER OF ROBERT R. RHODES.(WHICH I BELIEVE HE IS). THEN WHY WAS ROBERT LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF JACOB RHODES. WAS WILLIAM SICKLY. WAS HE TO POOR TO CARE FOR ALL HIS CHILDREN?

I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND WHY ROBERT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD WITH JACOB FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. IF ROBERT WAS BORN IN 1856 THEN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN WILLIAM AND RECECCA'S 1ST CHILD. THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS THAT ARE UNANSWERED ABOUT THIS.

ROBERT R. RHODES (B) 1856-59, IN JACKSON COUNTRY, WV. SOME SOURCES HAVE HIM LISTED AS BEING BORN IN 1854.HE MARRIED RECECCA J. GREEN ON 6-6-1879 IN JACKSON COUNTY. REBECCA IS THE DAUGHTER OF WILLIAM AND SARAH GREEN.

ROBERT IS FOUND IN THE 1880 ROANE COUNTY CENSUS. CHILDREN ARE AS FOLLOWES:

LEVI F. RHODES (B) 10-8-1881 (M) SANDY RHODES

WILLIAM L. OR S. RHODES (B) 8-18-1883

LIDY MAY RHODES (B) 11-1-1885, (M) CHARLES BOGGS, IN OHIO.

JACOB G. RHODES (B) 3-25-1886, (M) LYDIE HARGUS ON 1-1-1907. HE WAS 21 SHE WAS 18. SPENCER,WV

CHARLES L. RHODES (B) 10-1-1887 / DIED 1971 (M) MABEL STAATS ON 3-3-19. BURIED AT LONGVIEW CHURCH, EVANS, WV.

GEORGE W. RHODES "GENERAL" (B) 1888

OTTO MCKINLEY RHODES (B) 1-24-1889 / DIED 4-2-1977, (M) GERTIE MAE JETT ON 7-29-1925. HE IS BURIED AT PAYNE CEMETERY, CLIO, WV.

MARY S. RHODES (B) 10-5-1891, (M) OKEY KNOPP

LEANDER RHODES (B) 1894 / DIED 1968, (M) DAVIS

NELLIE JANE RHODES (B) 9-17-1901 / DIED 9-30-1969 (M) EDWARD DEWEY TAYLOR.

ACCORDING TO MY GRANDFATHER OTTO M.RHODES HE RECALLS IN DETAIL A VERY TRYING AND SCARY TIME FOR HIM AND THE FAMILY OF ROBERT R. AND REBECCA J. RHODES, DURING HIS CHILDHOOD. IN THE EARLY 1900'S (BETWEEN 1903-13) WHILE ROBERT AND REBECCA WERE LIVING IN ROANE COUNTY. THEY WERE SENT TO A WORK/POOR FARM IN PUTNAM COUNTY, WV. HE SAID IT WAS LOCATED ACROSS THE RIVER FROM REDHOUSE IN PUTNAM COUNTY. AT A PLACE CALLED ROCK STEP ROAD. NO ONE SEEMS TO RECALL A WORK/POOR FARM BEING LOCATED THERE. THERE WAS ONE LOCATED IN BUFFALO BUT HE SAID THAT WAS NOT THE ONE.

THE FOLLOWING WAS TAKEN FROM A HISTORY WRITTEN BY FRED TAYLOR.

ACCORDING TO FRED TAYLOR MY GRAND MOTHER GERTIE RHODES SAID THAT ROBERT BECAME ILL AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HIMSELF OR HIS FAMILY. HE HAD A BONE DISEASE MAYBE RICKETS. THE FAMILY LOCATED THEMSELVES AT THE POOR FARM IN PUTNAM COUNTY. WE AREN'T SURE IF THIS WAS BY FORCE OR BY CHOICE. LATER MOST OF THE CHILDREN WERE PLACED IN FOSTER HOMES OR ADOPTED. FRED'S MOTHER NELLIE JANE RHODES WAS ADOPTED BY MATTHEW AND MAGGIE ROBINSON WHO LIVED NEAR BY THE FORMER RESIDENCE ON JULY HOLLOW.

MY GRANDFATHER OTTO RHODES WAS TAKEN IN BY HOWARD HIVELY. HE GOT A JOB WITH THE UNITED FUEL COMPANY AT AGE 15 AND HE SET OUT ON HIS OWN.

MY GRAND MOTHER GERTIE SAID THAT REBECCA WORKED HARD IN THE FIELDS, AND IRONING, SOMETIMES ALL DAY. SHE ALSO SAID THAT MY GRAND FATHER OTTO REMEMBERS SITTING ON THE POURCH WITH HIS HEAD IN HIS MOTHERS LAP WHEN SOMEONE CAME TO TAKE HIM AWAY. HE SAID HER LAP FELT SO WARM. SOMETIME LATER WHILE HOEING LETTICE IN THE GARDEN, SHE AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY THAT WERE LEFT SLIPPED AWAY AND SET UP HOUSEKEEPING AT OSBORNE MILLS NEAR CLENDENIN. REBECCA IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN BURIED THERE WITH NO MARKER. ROBERT IS BELIEVED TO HAVE DIED AT THE POOR FARM IN PUTNAM COUNTY.
