The Rhead family is difficult to research because the name has been misspelled on census records and various other documents. It has been spelled as: Read, Reed, Reid, Ried, Reede and, on the 1830 census for Ontario County, New York, Rhea. Because there are families with these surnames, it is challenging to differentiate between the Rhead's and other families.
Paul and Joni Lerum sent me documents they got at the Westland Historical Society in Wayne County, Michigan that indicate Robert Rhead (b. 1770-1780) was the son of Jacob Rhead, who was the son of Robert Rhead (d. 1770). This information was obtained from Roland F. Rhead and Royena Hornbeck Tice. It is intriguing and when I look at the children of Robert Rhead (b. 1770-1780), it makes sense as Jacob is the first born son and tradition dictated the first born son be named after the father's father. All this time I've looked at the names and never noticed it before. I have also found information on a website, Multer.com, that indicates Robert Rhead, Jr., (who died in 1810) only had two sons: Oliver and Aaron. So it would seem that Jacob Rhead was the father of Robert Rhead (1770-1780 to 1830-1840). I am still looking for information on Jacob and his wife, Sarah Covert.
I received two e-mails from people who gave me the information listed for Generations No. 1 & 2 and some info for Generation No. 3. When I asked where this information came from, both people told me they couldn't remember their source's name. Doing a cursory search on the Internet didn't turn up any info on the people listed so I don't have any documentation to help verify what is listed. However, I've decided to include these names in the hopes that someone can help me track them down. Does anyone have any info on Nicholas Bailey/Baylie or Margaret Littletore, or John Archer?

Notes for ROBERT RHEAD, JR.
He is buried in St. John's Cemetery, located in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York.
Notes for ROBERT RHEAD, JR.:
On the 1790 census, Robert is shown with 3 males over 16 yrs., 1 male under 16 yrs. and 5 females. Robert is one of the males over 16 so that would leave him with 3 sons - Oliver and two unknown. His wife, Mary, is one of the females and his mother, Jane, is still alive and probably living with him so that would leave him with 3 daughters. By 1800 he has another son, Aaron, and another daughter. In 1800 there are 2 sons in the household and three daughters. Oliver and Aaron are the two sons but what happened to the two older sons? Robert only mentions two sons in his will so that must mean that the other two died before 1810. Also, there are five daughters named in his will and he refers to one of them as Hannah Orsser. Was Hannah married to Edward Orser? Edward and his wife die between 1840-1850 in Mount Pleasant, Westchester County, New York.

Generation No. 5
ROBERT RHEAD (JACOB RHEAD4) was born between 1770 - 1780 in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. He died between 1830 - 1840 in Phelps, Ontario County, New York. His wife (name unknown) was born between 1780-1790.
I'm still working on this "missing link." One clue I have to go on is an article about Benjamin V. Hornbeck, who married Phoebe Rhead. (Click here to read the article.) The story mentions Benjamin marrying Phoebe, daughter of Robert Rhead and leaving her at her brother's house in Plymouth, Michigan. Phoebe is a sister of Robert D. and Aden so therefore, Robert Rhead is the father of these three people. (It appears that Phoebe names her third son, Aden, after her brother.) Another clue is the Robert Rhead mentioned in Military Minutes of the Council of Appointment of the State of New York, 1783-1821. Robert is listed as a captain in Lieutenant Colonel John Gallup's regiment for Albany County in 1812; Robert Rhead, Jr. dies in 1810 so this must be his son. Albany County is another clue because the article about Dewey W. Rhead mentions his father, Robert D. Rhead, being born in Albany, New York in 1818.

OLIVER RHEAD (ROBERT RHEAD, JR.4) was born October 5, 1782 in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York and died June 22, 1859 in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. He married MARY FOWLER, daughter of VINCENT FOWLER and DOROTHY VALENTINE. She was born November 17, 1776 in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York and died October 17, 1861 in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. (Mary was living with her son, Benjamin, at the time of her death.)
Notes for OLIVER RHEAD: In 1842 or 1843 in Yonkers, a dam above Ashford (5 miles north of Yonkers) gave way because of heavy rains. Oliver Rhead owned a farm in Sawmill river valley, a little north of St. John's Cemetery, and noticed that the river was rising rapidly. He mounted his horse and rode down to Yonkers to alarm the town. There was no mention of whether or not his ride saved any lives. His brief story is recounted in Biographical History of Westchester County, New York.
He is buried in St. John's Cemetery, located in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York.

JACOB RHEAD was born 1786 in New York and died September 29, 1853 in Colchester, Delaware County, New York. He married MARGARET/SALLY. She was born 1787 in New York and died unknown.
Notes for JACOB RHEAD
I'm not sure who Jacob's father is but I've decided to include him because I do believe he belongs with the Rheads listed here. His father could have been JACOB RHEAD (Generation No. 4) or ARCHER RHEAD (Generation No. 4). JACOB is living next door to JOHN H. GREGORY in 1810 (Colchester) and I suspect JOHN H. GREGORY was married to a RHEAD; if he was, then his wife could very well have been JACOB'S sister.

ADEN RHEAD (ROBERT RHEAD5) was born February 12, 1812 in Albany County, New York and died September 5, 1874 in Nankin, Wayne County, Michigan. He is buried in Newburgh Cemetery, located in Livonia. He married (1) EXPERIENCE before 1832 in Ontario County, New York. He married (2) MELVINA WILSEY, March 12, 1846 in Nankin, Wayne County, Michigan, daughter of ABRAHAM WILSEY. She was born July 26, 1829 and died November 26, 1858 and is buried next to ADEN. He married (3) SARAH ELIZABETH SHELDON, June 8, 1868. She was born 1834 in New York and died unknown.
Notes for ADEN RHEAD
Aden moved to Michigan in 1836 with his brother, Robert D. Rhead. Aden and Robert purchased land in Wayne County, Michigan and proceeded to improve the property. Aden eventually sold his interest in the land to Robert. Aden died in Wayne County and his first born son, Truman, eventually moved to Wisconsin while Robert's descendants stayed in Michigan where, I believe, they remain today. Aden had three sons, Charles, George and Frank, by his second wife, Melvina. George died young.

ROBERT D. RHEAD (ROBERT RHEAD5) was born May 7, 1812 in Albany, Albany County, New York and died October 22, 1898 in Hudson, Lenawee County, Michigan. He married (1) ADELIA E. KINYON, January 1, 1844. She was born November 8, 1814 in New York and died May 4, 1862 in Michigan. He married (2) JANE ROBINSON PITTS, daughter of WILLIAM ROBINSON and CATHERINE, January 10, 1864 in Michigan. JANE was born April 24, 1830 in New York and died February 18, 1911 in Michigan. Her first husband was PHILIP L. PITTS with whom she had three children: JOHN PITTS (b. 1847), JAMES WILLIAM PITTS (b. 1849) and CATHERINE "KATE" PITTS (b. July 1852). PHILIP died before 1860.
Notes for ROBERT D. RHEAD:
According to the biographical information written about DEWEY W. RHEAD in Memoirs of Lenawee County, Michigan, ROBERT only had two children with ADELIA. Those two children were WILLIAM and ARVILLA. However, they had a second son, PETER, who died in 1852, long before the biography for DEWEY was written. The mystery is on the 1850 census which shows a female named LAURA who is 16 years old and living with ROBERT and ADELIA. ROBERT wasn't old enough to father a 16-year-old, so who is she? She could possibly be a young sister of ROBERT'S or a niece. No further mention is made of her and she disappears on the 1860 census. By then she would have been 26 years old so she most likely was married.
Notes for JANE ROBINSON PITTS:
According to the 1910 census for Hudson, Lenawee County, Michigan, JANE had three children but only two are living. DEWEY RHEAD and WILLIAM PITTS are both shown on the 1910 census. KATE PITTS-WILLIAMS is shown on the 1900 census as being a sister to DEWEY but can't be located in 1910 so she must have died between 1900-1910. Also living in the household in 1900 is an 18-year-old female named Maud Williams, probably Kate's daughter. Again, according to the 1910 census, Jane had three children; but I believe she actually had four. On the 1850 census for Farmington, Oakland County, Michigan; Philip L. PITTS and JANE are shown with two sons, JOHN (2 yrs.) and JAMES (1 yr.). In 1860, JANE is living with her parents in Canton, Wayne County, Michigan and has two children, JAMES W. (8 yrs.) and CATHERINE (6 yrs.). I've concluded that the JAMES W. shown in 1860 is actually WILLIAM PITTS and that CATHERINE is actually KATE. But what happened to JOHN? I'm guessing he died between 1850-1860 but why JANE neglected to mention she had four children with two still living in 1910 is a mystery.

JACOB C. RHEAD, JR. (JACOB RHEAD5) was born 1826 in New York and died March 16, 1885 in Colchester, Delaware County, New York. He married JULIA A. She was born August 1827 in New York and died September, 1905.
Notes for JACOB C. RHEAD, JR.
On the 1850 census, Jacob's father is listed as Jacob (55) and his mother's name is listed as Margaret (50), and there is a 6 yr. old boy named Oliver living in the household. On the 1860 census, Sally Rhead (73) and Oliver (47) are living next to Jacob. Jacob's father died in 1853 so he wouldn't be listed but Jacob's mother is now listed as Sally. The 1860 census seems to have the accurate information as far as ages are concerned but I'm not sure which name is correct - Margaret or Sally.
