    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, this is the family household: Roderick Rounds 53, Mary Rounds 42, Emeline Manchester 17, William Manchester 23, Lucy A. Manchester 7, Bradford C. Rounds 4, Charles E. Rounds 2, John Rounds 18, & Abraham Rounds 25.

    (Also see notes for his second wife, Mary H. Dennis.)

    Roderick's death record identifies his mother as Sarah Rounds; no father is mentioned. The 1800 census has an Alfred Rounds in Tiverton, with 3 free white males under age 10. However, there is no Roderick among the birth records for Alfred's family.

    Could he be the son of Sarah Rounds, born 16 Feb 1765, Tiverton, to David Rounds Jr. and Hannah? Just speculation.
