THE HISTORY OF STONINGTON, CONN., by Richard A. Wheeler, page 554.
    In the old town graveyard at Newport, Rhode Island is the heraldic tombstone of John Rhodes, Esq., who died March 31, 1746, aged 75 years, grandson of Sir Godfrey Rhodes of Rowden, in Yorkshire, England, and according to Burke's Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies, "Francis and Charles Rodes, grandsons of Sir Francis Rodes, Bart, a nephew of Sir Godfrey, went ot America." As these are familiar names in the Rhodes family, which came to these familiar names in the Rhodes family, which came to Stonington, Conn., we feel that this John Rhodes, Esq., may be connecting link in the family between England and America, as he might have been the father of Capt. Simon Rhodes, who was born Jan. 24, 1716, and was of Newport, Rhode Island, when he was married by Elder Joseph Park on Dec. 15, 1756, to Anne, who was the daughter of Capt. James and second wife, Content (Maxson) Babcock of Westerly, Rhode Island.
    Tradition says that he had been married before and as he was 40 years old at the time he married Anne, this might have been so.
    The first mention of Capt. Simon Rhodes on the Stonington records is "A distribution of lands between Jonathan Babcock and his sister, Ann Rhodes, the wife of Capt. Simon Rhodes of Stonington, Oct. 24, 1759." Afterwards there are several deeds shoping that he purchased large tracts of land. He built a house on the land owned by his wife, which is standing at the present time, and known as the Rhodes Mansion Place. It is situated not far from Westerly, Rhode Island. Capt. Simon's wife, Anne Babcock (No. 46), Babcock family, was born March 30, 1732, and died Nov. 7, 1768, aged 37, and then Capt. Simon married Aug. 27, 1769, Martha Babcock (No. 100), Babcock family, who was born Dec. 8, 1729, daughter of George and Susannah (Potter) Babcock. Capt. Simon rhodes died april 22, 1784, aged 68 years, and Mrs. Martha Babcock Rhodes married May 12, 1800, Col. James Rhodes, b. Aug. 1730 (not known to be any relative of Capt. Simon Rhodes). He died June 21, 1806, and she died March 30, 1809, aged 80 years. Col. James Rhodes' first wife was Anna Crandall who he married Dec. 14, 1752.
