Dr. Andrew Bass - General James Rhodes
General James Rhodes (born 1765; died 1810) was the son of James and Elisabeth Rhodes. General James Rhodes stands out in Wayne County History as a merchant, land owner and the husband of Anna Bass (born 1776; died 1817), the daughter of Dr. Andrew Bass and Alice Rhodes, daughter of William and Sarah Rhodes. Dr. Bass was a leader in the American Revolution and one of the founders of the town of Waynesborough. He willed to his daughter, Anna, twenty-two slaves and more than four thousand acres of land. His will was probated April 1791 Wayne County Court. Henry Rhodes of Dobbs County, will probated January 25, 1774, is thought to be the grandfather of General Rhodes.
The Rhodes Family Bible shows that General Rhodes and Ann Bass were married April 10, 1793 and that they had three sons and three daughters to wit: Joseph Andrew, James, William Thomas, Sallie Ann, Anna Maria and Rhodes Clarissa. James was the only son who lived to marry and that was to two daughters of Daniel Kornegay.
After the death of General Rhodes in 1810, his widow married Cullen Blackman. Daughter Sallie Ann married Stephen Smith; Anna Maria married (1) General Edward Ward (2) Buckner Lanier Hill; and Rhodes Clarissa married Richard Blackledge Hatch.
