Research Notes

Charles Rodes apparently was born about 1663, must have been about 13 years of age the last time he saw his family, was indentured as a servant in Virginia.

The 1704 Quit Rent Rolls of Virginia list Charles Rhoades of New Kent County being taxed on 175 acres of land, also a Francis Rhodes of James City, taxed on 100 acres.

The records say that Charles Rodes married in New Kent County, Virginia in 1695, he had a daughter Mary baptized in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County in 1703. A John Rodes was born in New Kent County in 1697, and the Assumption is great that he is son of Charles Rodes. The given name of Clifton frequently appeared in both the English family to which Charles Rodes belonged and in the Virginia family descended from John. Possibly another son of Charles Rodes was Clifton Rhodes whose Will was proved in York County, Virginia in 1745, naming son Francis and mentioning children of his brother John Rhodes of Hanover County.^[1]
