Gentlemen:


Mrs. Estelle Wilcox Armstrong of this city is
endeavoring to establish her descent from Major Anthony
Rhodes, who received pay for his service with the army;
during the Revolutionary War; near Warwick, R. I.
Major Anthony Rhodes was born in 1760 (Warwick,
R. I.  ?) and died May 25, 1845. He married Anna Babcock
Langworthy, born 1745, died Oct. 17, 1838 as his second
wife. Their children were Amy Rhodes born Feb. 23, 1788,
died May 24, 1872, and James Avery Rhodes.
Would you please verify the names of the children
as listed on the application of Major Anthony Rhodes for
pension. It is necessary for us to establish the fact that
Amy Rhodes was the daughter of Anthony Rhodes in order that the
National Society, D. A. accept Mrs. Armstrong's
application.

Sincerely yours,
