Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Rhoads (and variant spellings) families who came from Germany, Hesse, Prussia, and Switzerland. Some allied families came from Baden, England, Holland, and Ireland. Focus is on the descendants of Henry (Henrick, Hendrick, Heinrich) Rhoads (Rhodt, Rode, Rodt), Sr. (1712-1774) of Mannheim, Germany. He married Catherine or Katherina Rheindhardt (1714-1774). In 1737, Henry emigrated from Germany on the ship "William," and settled in Frederick County, Maryland in 1757. He later moved to Bedford (now Somerset) County, Pennsylvania. One of Henrys sons, Capt. Henry Rhoads, Jr. (1739-1814) married Elizabeth "Dovey" Stoner. After the Revolutionary War, Capt. Henry and his brothers established an historic homestead in Browder, Logan (now Muhlenburg) County, Kentucky. Henry Sr. and other family are buried there at the Rhoades Cemetery. Some Rhoads were Baptists, Episcopalians, and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the 1700s, Rhoads lived in Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. During the 1800s, some moved to Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Later descendants also lived in Russia, and in Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and elsewhere.
