Query: RODMAN/OGLESBY/BALLARD of Washington County

I’m looking for any will, obituary, or any other documents of my 4th great grandfather, Dr. William T. RODMAN (1783-1841), husband of Ann Haden OGLESBY (1788-1846), mentioning my 3rd great grandfather Hugh Hurst RODMAN (1807-1884), husband of Rebecca BALLARD (1812- abt 1885). My grandfather Dr. RODMAN died in Washington Co. and is buried at Crown Hill Cemetery.

  1. What documentation do you have that he was a doctor? I know one of his grandsons, William Martin Rodman, buried in Jackson County was a doctor. In all the files I have gone through in Washington County I have never seen him refered to in that manner. Just curious. My Rodman line is off James Rodman and Elizabeth Burton.

  2. I have limited information on him, Tom. Do you have any documentary proof showing William T. as the brother of your James or him listed in the family of Hugh and Elizabeth?

  3. Tom, these sources appear to refer to William T. Rodman as a physician:

    A BLAKEY BOOK

    Issue (RODMAN):
    1. Dr. Hugh Herst b 5 Mch 1807, m 31 Oct 1843 Susan Barbour

    A GENEALOGY OF THE BLAKEY FAMILY AND DESCENDENTS
    page 48
