Welcome to our site!  

My name is Barbara Russell and I have been researching the family of Richard 
Alvin Rhoades for several years.  Recently, I have found two other descendants 
who are also researching.  Melody Roswell is a descendant of Richard and his 
first wife, Yerrina Frances "Irena" Garrett.  Kathy Campbell and I are 
descendants of Richard and his second wife, Chloa Melvina Leasure. 

To complicate things further, Kathy and I are also descendants of Richard's 
third wife, Gabriella Amizette Michael through a daughter of a previous 
marriage to Marion Francis Wright.  Mary Frances Wright married Henry Alvin 
Rhoades, a son of Richard and Chloa.  

We have joined forces to find as much accurate information as possible on the 
ancestors and descendants of Richard Alvin Rhoades and his three wives.  Please 
feel free to sign the guest book and email us when you do find mistakes or if 
you have information to add to this site.  We would love to hear from anyone 
researching this line.
