Notes |
- Charles Rhodes 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 wich some of the goods were sent to him, was in the awintermute 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.
