NOTES- THANK YOU TO ROBERT LORD:
The Family of Rhodes
By Nelson Osgood Rhodes
1919
Froissart is the authority for the statement that "the de Rhodes,hereditary
Knights of Flanders, came over to England with the Earl of Flanders and Tofti,
Harold's brother, to assist William the Conqueror."(Volume I, page 121)
Origin of the English House:
The Domesday book records the fact that two warriors accompanying William the
Conqueror, Will emus and Hugh by name, were granted, doubtless as a reward for
their services, the Moiety of Rodes." This estate was found where the
little village of Rode is now situated, in the County of Chester, near the
present silk-producing center of Macclesfield, about 40 miles southeast from
Liverpool.
Willemus had a son, Michael, who was known as Michael de Rodes, and his
descendants may be traced through the Domesday book, tax rolls, civil and court
records, to the present time, carrying that name in some form of the many common
spellings in history.
Development of the English House
Froissart, volume 10, page 354: "The counts de 'Armagnach and Rhodes came
from Normandy with Henry II and Margaret, his mother."
From Burke's "Commoners of Great Britain" we learn that the family of
Rhodes or Rhoades is of great antiquity, having flourished for several centuries
in the Counties of Nottingham, Lincoln, York and Derby.
"The first settler on record in England, of this family, was GERARD deRodes,
a feudal baron , the capital seat of whose barony was Horn Castlein
Lincolnshire. Camden says Horn Castle was a soke or seignory of thirteen
lordships and Gerard De Rodes was consequently one of the greater barons; his
absence as ambassador will account for his name not occurring on the Roll of
Magna Charta, he 'having been sent by King John,29th March, in the 9th year of
his reign, ambassador to foreign parts'."
"It is not known when the Baronetcy became extinct, but the lands of Horn
Castle were lost in the reign of Richard II." (See Camden's
Britanea,Lincolnshire, page 418.)
Baron Gerard de Rodes received from Richard I the lordships of Langar and
Barneston, in Nottinghamshire. They were confirmed in him by King John.
Thornton, writing in 1677, says these lordships were united before Norman times,
having been first granted to William Peverill, "Peverill of the
Peaks." They were previously, at some time , owned by Earl Howe.
Baron Gerard also owned the estates of "Clifton and Wilford," o
fNottinghamshire, previously owned by William Peverill. They came to him during
the reign of King John. They passed to Ralph de Rodes, his son, "a very
great man," who owned them during the 6th Henry III.
Clifton and Wilford passed to Gerard, Lord of Melles, at the end of Henry's
reign or at the beginning Edward I's, and he granted them to Sir Gervase de
Clifton, Steward to Sir Ralph de Rodes.
The estate of Barton, owned by Baron Gerard, followed that of Clifton and
Wilford.
Ann Clifton, directly descended from Sir Gervase, married Sir Francis,directly
descended from Baron Gerard, he being the second Baronet of Barlsborough.
Of the thirteen lordships composing the soke of Horn Castle, of the family of de
Rodes, most of those seem to have been divided or disposed of in Nottinghamshire,
and others in Yorkshire and Derby retained, and to these the principal branches
of the family removed.
This seat of the family in Derbyshire was founded by William Rodes, who married
Emme, daughter and heiress of John Cachehors or Cachehaus, of Stavely,
Woodthorpe.
The Derbyshire Charter, compiled by Isaac H. Jeanes, quotes:
"No. 902, Sale for 417.10.0 by Henry Gray, Knight, Lord of Codnor and Dame
Margaret, his wife , for William Roodes (or Rodes) of Nottinghamshire, of all
trees, wood, etc., lying between Botery(Butterly) Park and Codnor Park to
Michaelmas, 1478. Dated April 14,Edward VI (1421) (V ol. IV, 22)."
Also: "904. Power of Attorney from Robert Remstone, Esq., to Wm.Chadwyk and
William Roodes to receive lands in Codnor, dated August 27,14 Edward IV (1447)
(Wall IV, 21)."
This seems to have remained the seat of the family until Barlborough Hallwas
built by Judge Francis Rodes, whose son, Sir John, Knight, sold Stavely
Woodthorpe and made Barborough the permanent residence.
The periods of residence on the Rhodes estates above follows: HornCastle,
Clinton Wilford and Barton Notts, from about 1154 to 1470;Staveley Woodthorpe,
Derbyshire, about 1470 to 1600 ; Barlborough,Derbyshire, about 1600 to the
present time.
HISTORY SEEMS TO SUPPORT THE CONCLUSION THAT:
o Willemus and Hugh came to England during the Norman Conquest.
o Willemus remained and through his son, Michael de Rode, established the
"Moiety of Rode, " their line continuing to the present time.
o Hugh returned to France and established the family of the Counts deRodez.
o The French family sent its descendant, Baron Gerard de Rodes, back to England
and through him an English branch was established which continues to the present
date.
o Representatives of all these branches have immigrated to America and all
families carrying the name of Rhodes in this country, whatever the form of its
spelling, owe their origin to and can probably claim the father of Willemus and
Hugh as their common ancestor.
