The origins of Henry Rhodes are unknown to me, except that he was an English Puritan.

Born: 1608 (Savage & other secondary sources), in England.
 

Spouse:  Elizabeth [White?]. Since their oldest known child was born Feb 06, 1641, they married in New England, indicating she is daughter of another immigrant,  who I have not yet identified.

Residence: Lynn, Essex Co, Mass

Owner of mill in Lynn
 

History of Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts, Pg 143

"This I, Clement Coldam, aged about 55 years, doe testifie, that the grant of the old mill was in July ye 12, 1633, to Edward Tomlins, which was the second mill in this colony; and after the Towne saw that the mill could not supply the Towne, they gave leave to build an overshoot mill upon the same water; with a sluice called by the name of the old sluce, being made by Mr. Howell, the second owner of the mill; and then Mr. Howell did sell the same mill to John Elderkin; and John Elderkin did sell it to mr. Bennet, and mr. Bennet did sell it to Goodman Wheeler, and Goodman Wheeler sould it to John Ballard, and John Ballard sold it to Henry Rhodes. And this I testifie that the water to supply the mill with, was granted to the mill, before any Meddow in the Towne was granted to any man, wee mowing all comon then. And this I testifie, that I kept the key of the old sluce for mr. South, which is since about 27 or 28 yeares agoe."
