Merle, both from a spiritual and genealogical standpoint I'm interested
in the Roth/Rhoads/Rhodes/Rhoades of the Palatinate (Germany) you
mention. The more well known Henry Rhoads that migrated to the Green
River area of Muhlenberg county Kentucky is in my heritage. I strongly
suspect my family heritage religiously can be attributed to these folk.
I would like to know more of their religious experience since I know
somewhat of their secular history.

They were Lorentz Linhardt/Leonhardt/etc. and Henry Rhodes. Rev.
Linhardt arrived here between 1790 and 1800. His place of origin is
unknown. Rev. Rhodes may have been born and raised here to another
Rhodes/Roth family or may have moved here about the same time. Both are
mentioned as Dunker ministers.
