  Jackson County Past and Present by Carroll Eugene Rhodes, Ripley, WV I was born in Jackson County on April 14, 1933; my name is Carroll Eugen Rhodes. My grandparents are Samuel and Roxie Rhodes; my parents are Clayton Harlan Rhodes and Mazie Rhodes. My father grew up in the Belgrove area of Jackson County. Clayton and Mazie were married in 1927 in Kanawha County’ Mazie died in 1935. Her parents were Benny Rhodes And Rebecca Southall. Our family moved to the Perry Parsons farm on Given Road. I do not remember ever seeing my mother; I was two years old when she died. I was premature and was so tiny when I was , that I had to be carried around in a shoebox.
