His father, Phillip Rhoad, was born in Pennsylvania, and taken by his father, Jacob Rhoad, to Shenandoah County, Virginia, in infancy, where he was reared, and removed to Highland County, Ohio in 1805. His mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Stols. Samuel Rhoad's mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Magdalene Wendel. He was reared on a farm and received a limited education in the subscription schools, which were held in the old pioneer log cabin. The cabins had split logs for seats, paper windows, puncheon floors, hugh fire places and board roofs. He and General Jacob Amminam, who was a cadet at West Point, were schoolmates, attending school in an old still-house, with curtains to separate the school room from the engine and boiler. He was born and reared on the old homestead, married and lived there until he had six children. In 1850, he came to Wapello County, Iowa, thence to Greene County, in 1855, settling upon his present farm, which was then wild land. There was but one log cabin in sight. There were many wolves, deer, wildcats, and a few elk. He went to Panora and Elk Rapids to mill, a distance of twenty miles or more, and frequently went to Des Moines to trade. Cornbread was then the "staff of life," and cornmeal was legal tender. Mr. Rhoad was married July 5, 1835, to Miss Martha McCurdy, daughter of Hugh McCurdy, now deceased. She was born in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Her mother's name was Martha McAllister. Mr. and Mrs. Rhoad had eight children, four of whom are living. Andrew, Josephine; wife of P. M. Fitz, Patrick of this county; Hannah, wife of J. C. Beaman, of Washington Township; and Martha J., who lives at home. Mrs. Rhoad died August 19, 1871.
