Notes:

Henry Rhodes came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, settling at Lynn before 1640, where he died in 1675. He was an ironmonger in Lynn, 1640; a witness 1647; representative to the General Court 1657. He served in King Philip's War and fought against the Indians in the Nipmugg Country, and at Narragansett in 1675. He signed his name with various spellings, but commonly "Rodes." Bodge, in his "History of King Philip's War," records him as "Henry Rhoades," as he is frequently quoted in other historical references. There are many branches of the Rhodes family existing in the United States, practically none are found spelling their names "Rhoades," except the descendants of Henry, of Lynn. In England, where the family originated, but one family is found which so spells its name and that is the one from which Amphillis Rhoades, great-grandmother of George Washington, descended.
This branch of the Rhodes family descended from a long line of English ancestors, tracing back to Willemus, of Rode, on many of whom heraldic honors had been conferred. Henry Rhodes brought to America a coat-of-arms and copy of the original charter inscribed, "These are the ancient names of the family of Rhodes of Adrod, Cheshire, whereof James Rhodes, of Lancashire, is descended of the second house, Henry Rhodes, son of George."
All descendants of Henry Rhodes are qualified for membership in the Society of Colonial Wars and Order of Founders and Patiots of America. - Colonial Families of the United States, 1920
