Notes:

From an old record we learn that Charles Rhodes, the father of Esther, was, with another boy, kidnapped from England and impressed as a sailor, and while on the Jersey coast was fortunate enough to make his escape. His friends, learning
of his whereabouts, supplied him with some goods to start a store. A chest in which some of the goods were sent to him, was in the Wintermute family for a long time, until the spring of 1890 when it was sold at vendue with other goods disposed
of by David H. Wintermute, of Newton, and so passed out of the family. The chest had a drawer in one end and beneath that a secret compartment. Rhodes served as Surrogate of Sussex County for a long time.



An old Bible of Charles Rhodes Sr, in possession of Mrs. Crissey, of Glenwood, says there were born to he and wife, Alice, a daughter, 25th of July, 1751, at sunrise; a son, Joseph, 27 June, 1755, at 9 o'clock a.m.; William, December 20,
1756, at 4 or 5 o'clock a.m.; Isabella, November 7, 1759; Charles, 19 June, 1763

Charles married Alice Van Kirk on 5 Aug 1760. Alice was born on 3 Mar 1733; died on 24 Aug 1821. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

T. Michael Louden has written:

"I have found the grave of George Wintermute and check the tombstone against the book. George is buried between the graves of Mary Wintermute and Ashfordby Wintermute (his son). Who is Mary Wintermute? The stone is very faded marble but
looks like it says:

"Mary

wife of

?A? Wintermute

died

?1? Jan 181?4?

Aged 5????..."

rest is unreadable but is shaped like the rest of age and a quote of some sort in smaller print as was the style at the time. The are no grave markers either side of these three or in front or behind. I assume these are filled graves but
without current markers. If I assume that Mary is a previously undocumented wife of Ashfordby it raises the question of why they were not buried adjacent to one another instead of with a space between them where George is buried 10 years
later.



Any ideas on who Mary "wife of Wintermute" is?
