History of Jack County, Texas
Rhoades, Abner Family
William H. Rhoades and Sarah Jane Fleming Rhoades were living in
1830 census in Henry County, Tennessee, beside his father Abner Rhoades.
Abner was the son of John and Absillah Rhoades of Smith County,
Tennessee. Originally from Bertie County, North Carolina.
In 1850 census of Carroll County, Tennessee, I found Willian H. and
Sarah Jane Rhoades with the following children: Sarah Anna, Abner, Nancy
E., Rachel H., Amanda B., Robert, George W., William H.Jr., Moses and
Francis. Soon after 1850 they moved to Texas where T. B., Calvin A.,
and Joel were born. The Rhoades family stopped in Hunt County, Texas
for awhile before coming to Tarrant County,, where William H. Rhoades
died about 1855. he is buried in Pioneer Rest Cemetery in Fort Worth,
Texas. The three oldest girls married in Hunt County. Sarah married
James Hanna, Rachel married William R. Stone. So far I haven't found
who Nancy married. Later Calvin went to Hunt County to visit his
sisters and married there.
Around 1860 Abner Rhoades brough his mother and the younger
children to Jack County, where he settled on the land known as Abner
Rhoades land, one mile south of the Forth Worth and Mineral wells
Intersection, (Highways 199 and 281). in 1865 he married Sarah
Elizabeth Brummett. His sister Amanda married Milton Brittain. his
brothers Robert married Nancy Johnson, Francis married Dorothy Ann
Atkinson, and Moses married Sarah J. Lauderdale. Francis, Robert and
Joel Rhoades died in the ealry 1870's and are buried in Jacksboro by the
side of their mother, Sarah Jane Fleming Rhoades. I have been told
Moses Rhoades settled at Gertrude, Jack County, Texas. So far I have
not been able to contact a descendant of his. Can anyone help me on his
descendants?
Abner and Sarah Elizabeth Thoades raised thirteen children: Abner
Jr., Josephine, Lansing, John, Austin, Alice, hattie, Marshall, Thomas,
Quincy, Gertrude, Maude and Virginia.
Thomas married Mattie Anderson. After the death of his father and
mothe he bought the farm from the rest of his brothers and sisters. he
raised six children there: Lura, C.B., Eura, nealie, R. B., and
Armellia.
R.B. (1815-1977) married Mildred Ulala Smith in 1933. They had
three children as follows:
1. Larry Charles Rhoades (Mar. 9, 1939-Aug. 21, 1975) Married
patricia Sue Ethridge. they have two children: robyn sue and Renne
Anne. He died with cancer and is buried in Austin Memorial
Gardens,Austin, Tx. he worked for the State in the Drug Rehabilitation
Division, at Austin.
2. Terry Glenn Rhoades, Sr., was born Jan. 14, 1946. he married 1.
Earlene Leach. They have two children: Terry Glen,Jr. and Melissa Lee.
He married second to Billie Mayfield Smith Miles. She has two children:
Ron Smith and Jennifer Miles. After the death of his grandfather, Terry
then bought the odl Abner Rhoades farm fromthe heirs. So the land Abner
Rhoades settled on around 1860 still remains in the Rhoades name today
1983. Terry is a stockman.
3. Sue Ann Rhoades was born De. 8, 1947. She married John Wayne
Burnside. They have one daughter, Jalayna Sue. In 1983 they are living
in Azle, Texas. Sue Ann works for the Texas Department of Human
Resources.
Uncle Abner Rhoades as told to me by Everette Abernathie. As far
as I can learn, Uncle Abner and Aunt Sarah Rhoades were the first
settlers in Groveland Community. They were here during the time of
indian depradations. They had several horses tolen. One of their
relatives owned a valuable race horse. Knowing that Indians were in the
vicinity, the settlers would gather in one neighbors house for the night
in order to help protect each other. They put the race horse by the log
house, where they lived, with a rope around his neck and put the rope
through a crack in the wall, and tied it to the owner's arm, so they
could feel the rope during the night. To their surprise the next
morning the rope had been cut and tied to a fence post and the race
horse stolen by the Indians.
