Name spelled various ways in VA. He moved to Newark, Ohio with his wife and two oldest children between 1840 and 1843 along with several members of his wife's family, including Isaac Bline. Before 1857, he followed his brother-in-law, Isaac Bline, to the northwestern part of Crawford Co, IL, near what is now Bellair leaving his family in OH. He built a cabin, sent for his family, and when they arrived, they found that he was dead. Locals said that he was mistakenly shot as an Indian. Family members think that he was shot and robbed for the other money he was carrying to purchase more land. In one place Edwin Howe's material says "Val was Accidentley shot and killed by a friend or acquaintance (name unknown) while hunting" and in another It says "Elizabeth (Rhodes), whose husband Val Rhoads was murdered on the Willard Lingafelter place in 1857." No record of inquest or other actions related to the shooting have been found in the Crawford Co, IL records.¹
