      D. C. RHODES, blacksmith, Stoufferstown, P. O. Chambersburg, was
      born in Franklin County, January 21, 1847, a son of Christian and Martha
      (Metz) Rhodes, natives of Pennsylvania, and of English and German origin,
      respectively. In early life Christian Rhodes was a miller, later a farmer; his
      family consisted of five sons and four daughters, of whom D. C. is the sixth
      child. Our subject grew to manhood in his native county, and was educated
      in the district school. At the age of seventeen he commenced to learn the
      blacksmith's trade, which he followed one year. In 1866 he enlisted in the
      United States Regular Army, and served three years, two and a half of which
      he was orderly sergeant of the company which served among the Indians in
      the West. At the close of his term of service he returned to Chambersburg,
      completed his apprenticeship, and has since worked at his trade in Stouffers-
      town. He does all the work on the wagons made here, also on farming imple-
      ments manufactured in the town, and usually employs two blacksmiths. In
      1870 he married Maggie, daughter of Samuel Disert, Sr., who was born in
      Cumberland County, Penn., September 16, 1812, a son of Samuel and Margaret
      (Au) Disert, who were also natives of Pennsylvania and of German and Irish
      origin. Mr. Disert is a prominent farmer in this township. Mr . and Mrs.
      Rhodes have two children: D. Frank and H. Edgar. Mr. Rhodes is a mem.
      ber of the I. O. O. F. . and an active and energetic Republican.

      It was from the above reference that I concluded that Samuel Disert born in 1812 had parents Samuel Disert and Margaret Au.

      Donna Forney Clark:
      I'm still working on Samuel Disert's birthdate. His headstone at Stouffer Cem., in Chamberburg, PA reads 1810. One source states his birth date as September 16, 1812. The censuses below are not conclusive enough to state the year.

      Source:
      US Census 1850/ 1860/ 1870/ 1880
      Samuel Disert was a prominent farmer in Guilford Township, Franklin Co., PA. Also listed in the 1860 Census as a master carpenter. Also listed in the 1850 census of Greene Township, Franklin Co., PA.
      In the 1860 census, Disert is misspelled or possibly just mistranscribed as Disest. In the 1870 census Disert is spelled Dysert. Samuel Disert appears in the 1880 census as living in Guilford, Franklin Co., PA.
