THE NAME!

Janet Reece Smith

From The Saga of The Parsons Family by the Parsons Family Organization.

The first and last name changed with every generation:

Heinrich Rhodt III, Jr (1739) married Elizabeth Stoner

Heinrich Rhodt II, Sr (1712) married Catherina Rheinhardt

Heinrich Rhodt I (1683) married Catherine Cable

Rhodt would be the German name of this family. Each generation is spelled different. Rhodt, Roth, Roesch, and finally Rhoads as it is known today.
