Hi,

I am a descendant of James Starr Rhodes who married Eliza Ann Frances Adams.

Do you have additional information on this family? I am trying to confirm what I have and add to it.

I am particularly interested in confirming that Ebenezer Rhodes was born in Holland and who his parents were (I have that they were German).

I am also interested in confirmation of my information on Mary (Hargis) Starr who was a widow when Ebenezer Rhodes married her. Many have her as daughter of Moses Starr, but this does not fit my information. I believe she is being confused with a daughter Mary Starr of Moses Starr whose son was John Starr. I do not have confirmation on her first husband.

This is from SOLDIERS OF THE REVOLUTION AND THE WAR OF 1812 BURIED IN McLEAN COUNTY, ILLINOIS

Items in brackets [ ] are my additions.

Rhodes, Rev. Ebenezer, (New Light Baptist)
b. Holland, May 21, 1780.
Private, Capt. Philip Riser's Company, Ohio Militia, Aug. 12, 1813 to
Sept. 21, 1813.
Settled at Blooming Grove, in what is now McLean County, Ill. 1823.
d. Blooming Grove, Dec. 6, 1842.
Buried: in Cox & Rhodes Cemetery, [Old Rhodes Cemetery] (now Woodlawn) Sec. 22, Bloomington Township, [was Blooming Grove] McLean County, Ill.
(See Duis' "Good Old Times" 1874, Page 173, and Adjutant-Generals Records, State of Ohio.)

I have an edited copy of "Good Ole' Times" by Duis.

Wife, Mary (Hargis) Starr - Rhodes,
ch.
John H. S. [John Hargis Starr] Rhodes;
Samuel [Samuel Austin] Rhodes;
Rhoda (Rhodes) Stringfield;
Naomi (Rhodes) Nigest;
Jeremiah [Jeremiah S. "Jerry"] Rhodes;
Aaron Rhodes;
Ebenezer Rhodes, Jr.;
Rev. James S. [James Starr] Rhodes;
Polly [Mary or Maria “Polly”] (Rhodes) Mitchell.

Please contact me so we can compare notes.

Thanks,
Sharon
