JACOB RHODES
JACOB RHODES, a farmer of Tulare Township, was born in South Carolina in 1835. He left his native State with his uncle,
Cullin Rhodes, in 1852, for Louisiana, and thence to Arkansas, where he remained three years. He then came to California across the plains with ox teams. After a journey of
six months they arrived in Sonora,
where he engaged in mining. In June, 1857, he came to San Joaquin County, where he commenced herding cattle. He now owns a
comfortable home; his ranch contains 320 acres of choice land, situated about
eighteen miles from Stockton. He is principally engaged in the raising of stock,
grain and horses.
He was married in Stockton in 1876, to Miss Annie Hanna, a native of Pennsylvania, who was born in 1849. They have three children:
Annie, aged twelve; John J., aged 10 years, and Harry A., an infant.
