Rhodes
Brick Walls - John W Rhodes

Much of my father's side of the family is very hard to research. A multitude of reasons exist for this state of affairs, but the main reasons are these: New York did not keep vital records until the 1880s and many of the family members were very poor.
One of the most interesting brickwalls, though, is my great-great-grandfather, John W Rhodes, of Plattekill, Ulster County, New York. After finding my great-grandmother, Irene Rhodes, in the 1880 census, I traced her father, John W, through the census years. One pattern stood out to me, John always lived near or with Jonah and Abigail Rhodes. I assumed that these two might be his parents but I did not have proof of this relationship since before 1880 the federal census did not specify relationships between members of a household and he did not live with them in 1880.
