Rotch, Charity Rodman, 1766-1824
Charity Rodman Rotch (1767-1823) was a Quaker minister from Massachusetts who was an early settler of Massillon, Ohio.
Rotch was born Charity Rodman on October 31, 1766, to Captain Thomas Rodman (1724-1766) and Mary Borden Rodman (1729-1798) of Newport, Rhode Island. Her father's ship was lost at sea mere weeks after her birth. In 1790 Charity married her brother-in-law Thomas Rotch, a merchant from the island of Nantucket. The new couple lived on the island for several months before moving to New Bedford in 1791. There Thomas joined another branch of the family firm led by his older brother William Rotch Jr. The couple's only child was born in New Bedford in 1791, but died before reaching the age of six months. The following fall, Charity had a brush with smallpox. Though she survived, her health remained poor for the rest of her life.
