ELI(4) 1788-1845

John was the third son of John Chenoweth and Rachel Kerr, born March 20, 1788 probably in Kentucky. It is not known where his parents married. His sister Rachel who was born the following year, gives Kentucky as her place of birth. Eli spent his childhood from a young boy in Ross Co., Oh and married there to Rhoda Rogers on June 18, 1812. Eli served briefly in the War of 1812 in relief of Fort Miegs. Their one son was born in Ohio, but the three known daughters of this marriage were all born in Vigo Co., IN where Eli and Rhoda moved with Eli's father John before 1819. Eli and Rhoda lived the balance of their lives in Vigo Co. Eli died there on March 12, 1845 at the age of 57. Eli died intestate and his son John administered his estate. It is through these filings that Eli's children are known to us. Rhoda lived past 1850 as she is found living with her son John In Vigo County in that Census. Eli is buried in the Lyons cemetery, Otter Creek Twp., Virgo Co., IN. What happened to Rhoda is unknown. The descendants of Eli that are presently known moved on to Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon and California.
