General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Rhodes

---

Documents show that the Rhodes who settled in Rhode Island emigrated from Yorkshire, England, about 1635. In England the name was originally spelled Rode and later Rhode. In 1566 appears the first record with the letter "s" added to the name. That the name was taken from a place is shown by the following quotation from an old book: "Two Norman warriors who accompanied William the Conqueror to England, 1066, Willelmus and Hugh by name, were granted the moiety of O'Drode (or little Arm de Rode), situated 4½ miles S.S.W. of Macklesfield, Chester county, England. That the name was adopted from this place is proved by a deed of 44 Henry III., in which Willelmus' descendant, Thomas de Rhode, granted by charter to Margery, daughter of Geoffrey de Lostoc, all his rights to the town of Rode for one pair of white gloves and a halfpenny for all services." The Cecil John Rhodes, of Kimberley, Africa, and of England, was a descendant of the Hertfordshire branch of the family. ¹
