Notes for Zachariah Rhodes: Zachary or Zachariah Rhodes was one of the early settlers of the Colony of Rhode Island. His name first appears as a resident of Seekonk, among the proprietors of the contemplated town of Rehoboth, MA, in 1643, and, in the following year, he was among those who formed a compact for a town government. In 1645 they submitted themselves to the jurisdiction of the Plymouth Court, to which they were assigned by the Commissioners of the United Colonies, and were incorporated by the Scriptural name of "Rehoboth."
From the year (?) the name of Zachariah Rhodes disappears from the Rehoboth Records. About that time a difficulty arose about compulsory payment for preaching, when he, with several others, left the town, taking up his residence in Warwick, in the Colony of Rhode Island, where many of his descendants have ever since resided. He married Joanna, daughter of William Arnold, and had seven children.
