Biography
John was born in August 11,1801, probably in Kentucky. I place him as the son of Ignatius Rhodes and Alisia Greenwell although others tend to place him as a son of Ignatius's brother, Benedict. However, all of Benedict's land went to his two daughters and their husbands. His birth conflicts with information for James Rhodes' family leaving Ignatius as the most likely father.
He passed away on August 11, 1864 in Marion County, Kentucky and is buried at St. Charles Cemetery. A memorial page has been constructed on Find A Grave. The page list his father as Benedict Rhodes, which I disagree with for a number of reasons.
