Less detail
Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Charles Allen was born Abt 1821, RI (son of Rhodes Greene Allen and Rebecca Bowen).

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Rhodes Greene Allen was born Abt 1791 (son of Joshua Allen and Waite Greene); died 11 Oct 1880; was buried , North Burial Ground, Providence, RI.

    Notes:

    Apparently there were two individuals of this exact same name, as two marriages were reported for Rhodes Greene Allen in the year 1811 -- one in March (to Rebecca Bowen) and one in September (to Sarah P. Jones). These cannot be marriages of the same man because the death of Rebecca C. Allen, wife of Rhodes, was reported in 1822.

    In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is at Providence, RI, as follows: Rhodes Allen 59, Mary Ann 49, Richmond 18, Edward 15, Thomas 7, Mary 16, Caroline 10, Charles 29, John 37, & Rhodes 34 (all born RI).

    In the Federal Census of 1870, Rhodes is age 74, living with son George Allen and family at Providence.

    In the Federal Census of 1880, Rhodes Allen is age 87, a rope maker, living at Providence. With him are son George W. L. (a moulder) and daughter-in-law Matilda (sews carpets).

    His grave is supposedly at the North Burial Ground in Providence, but I have not personally seen it:
    ALLEN RHODES G 1792 - 11 OCT 1880 PV001

    I have not viewed the death record or the RI Death Index listing for Rhodes, but I hope this would confirm the identity of his parents.

    Rhodes married Rebecca Bowen 31 Mar 1811, Providence, RI. Rebecca was born Abt 1789; died Dec 1822, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]
