HARVEY J. RODREICK, farmer and stock-raiser, P. O. New Pittsburg, was born near
Petersburg, Md., September 30, 1824. At the age of eleven years, he removed with his
people to Virginia, where he was reared and educated. He was identified with farming in
Taylor County, Va., till 1854, when he went to Lucas County, Iowa. After carrying on
farming there for five years, he went to California, and was for six years actively
engaged in mining operations; returning to Iowa afterwards, he soon after moved into
Montgomery County, Mo., where, after farming there for four years, and afterward two years
in Cass County, he came to Kansas and located here, where he has been actively identified
with his present industry since. On June 4, 1846, he married in Taylor County, Va., Miss
Belinda Robe, who departed this life May 15, 1865, and is buried in Lucas County, Iowa.
Her children living are Milton, in the lumber business in Colorado; David (whose sketch
appears), Luvinah, Mrs. Simeon Armstrong; Jane, Hannah, Mrs. James Stewart Hamilton. He
married January 18, 1871, Mrs. Martha D. Lakey, nee Miller. April 10, 1881, he married
Mrs. Rosana Dexter, nee Beebe, who was born and raised in Athens County, Ohio. She has one
son and one daughter - George William, farmer, and Lizzie Frances, now Mrs. Wiley H. Redd,
farmer. The family holds to the religion of the Baptist Church. His farm contains 160
acres of valuable land, well improved, fenced and watered, good buildings and an orchard
of a nicely assorted variety of fruit.

This looks as if Mary is Henry J.'s daughter-in-law, and there are errors in recording
the birth places of the grandchildren's parents. If these are Milton's children, then
their father would have been born in VA and mother in VA.
