The Columbus Metropolitan Library located on Grant Street is a great place to work on your genealogy. Let me know if you need any help.

Comment by Jordan on July 22, 2009 at 8:18pm: Thanks Dawn!
I do have a Daniel Rhoades who was born in Penn in 1798, but I have no sisters with the names you gave. There are a lot of Rhoades/Rhodes in Delaware :-)

Comment by Dawn Evans Stringer on July 22, 2009 at 6:55pm: Welcome Jordan! I have an Eleanor Rhoades (1790-1870) married to Nahum Powers. They lived in Delaware county. I know that Eleanor had a brother Daniel, and 2 sisters Mercy and Rhoda. I don't know if they were also in Delaware co or not. I haven't found parents for Eleanor. Maybe there is a connection?
