I agree- When you see Rhoad or Road or Rote on papers from the colonial era they were usually English variants of the name Roth. My own family were Roth(s). In German it is pronounced like Rote (to an English ear). So, Rhoad or Rhoads. The particular variant of the Rhoads spelling owes something to the fact that this was in the SE PA area and the clerks were also familiar with an English Quaker Rhoads family. It could have been just as easily spelled Rhode / Rhodes as it was in other locations.
