I have George Rhoads/Roth/Rhodes in my line I am researching from Pa. I go
back to Samuel Roth born 1800 married to a woman named Sara something. They
had a son George Rhoads( the spelling changed then) born 1826. His son was
another George Mifflin Rhodes born in reading, Pa. in 1860 who also had a
son named George Milton Rhodes born in Reading, Pa. in 1898 I believe who
also had a son named George Milton Rhodes who is my father born in
1922.George Rhoads born in 1826 is buried at the Aulenbach cemetery in
Reading, Pa. I was wondering if anyone knows of these people or relatives. I
am stuck at the one named Samuel born 1800. Thank you, debbie
