No. 2 Summary to Bath Co. Bicentennial book ( April 19, 1997)
This article was written on the premise that Robert, Archibald, and William
were brothers. There is little reason to believe otherwise. As mentioned in
the text, William's son, Archibald Jr., named his "Uncle Archibald" an
executor in his will. All three men had sons named Robert, Archibald, and
John, and daughters named Ann. William and Archibald had sons named William,
which Archibald and Robert had daughters named Isabella. Willia
Robert name was a very familiar name in the Rhea family, and many of the
descendants of the different Robert Rhea's used the name Robert. I have never
heard that story, but then that doesn't mean anything either. I'd say your
chances of finding that name have improved since you joined the list.
do you have any documentation, census records, marriage birth, death.
First start with yourself and record birth, m. children, then go to your
father and mother and do the same, and at least back four generations

To Pat and all the newsgroup from DonRhea@juno.com
I am having trouble with many messages on our newsgroup because (on the
Juno server at least) they start out like the one cited above. This
makes it difficult to refer back to whatever the original message was, or
even who it was from. (In the above instance only for example and not

Many families were attracted to Texas in the early days with a promise of
free land. The Texas Archives & Records Division offers a 4 page breakdown of
these instruments.
1)Land grants under Colonization Laws of Coahula & Texas existed from 1821
to 1836.

Ed, Sorry but could you tell me what family you meant that you were not
related to? I am getting so many messages on the Rhea's that I need to know
what each is referring to.
Thanks

RE: Doyle Baker's chart of Archibald and Margaret Campbell Rhea.
Misconceptions were made many years ago and passed down to all of us. It has
taken alot of work, to make it right. If you read, and I suggest copying the
Bath Co. Bicentennial article, summary and intro. you will see that.:
Archibald Rhea b. 1720 was one of the three sons belonging to Archibald Rhea
I .
Archibald Rhea m. to Margaret Campbell, was William Rhea and Elizabeth
Clark's son.
Here is how the chart should look

Hi Pat.
I was able to track every thing in your Robert Rhea, Jr. note down to
Robert K. Rhea. After that I became sort of confused. According to my
genealogy program, Mary, Nancy, and Archibald could not be the children of
Nancy Lewellen or Sarah Rinehart if one compares the marriage and birth
dates. Did Nancy and Robert K. have children or are the children Sarah's.
Do you or someone have information that will help claify these dates? If I
missed some thing, please advise.

I understand that the families from Northern Ireland landed either at
Baltimore, Maryland or Phil, Pa. Do you have passenger lists,Ship for the
family. Was the name spelled Rhea when they landed or was it Ray.
It is always a possibility that your family may be a later branch of the
family, since the only family member , that we know of, that came to the
colonies was Archibald Reah, and various spellings. But one of the points
you need to understand is that before Matthew Campbell Reah was in Ireland,

No. 1-RHEA Introduction to article in Bath Co. Bicentennial Book-April 19,
1997
In October, 1989, when the author was asked to contribute an article on the
Rhea Family for the Bicentennial History of Bath County, Virginia, he
resolved that it would be documented as thoroughly as possible. Anyone
familiar with genealogical research has found the literature cluttered with
unsubstantiated information. Because many readers are prone to accept the
printed word as factual, they, in turn, pass inaccurate statemen

Hi Everyone:
I just came on the Rhea list this morning and thought I should introduce
myself. My husband is the Ray/Rhea descendant, but I am the researcher in
the family. I am looking for the parents of Rev. John M. Ray who died in
1813 and is buried in Van Buren Co. TN. My husband descends from his
daughter, Phoebe who married Elijah Drake > Reuben Miller Drake m: Nancy
Isham > Phoebe Martelia Drake m: William M. Safley >
William Edwin Safley m: Etta Lenora Glimp > Willie Mae Safley m: James

This I printed from the NC/SC-Roots genealogy list. Thought we all could
use it.
Members of many NC/VA families moved to TN during the period 1815-1820. There
was a tremendous volcanic eruption near New Zealand which affected the
weather on the east coast of America. During this period. it was too cold
for families east of the mountains to bring a crop to harvest. The
description, "18hundred-and-froze-to-death," was used to identify this period
of unusual cold.
This is the message I tried to forward.
Tomorrow(Tuesday) I will start William Rhea. His part of this article is 4
pages 8 1/2 x 11. Then there is another page on Rhea's. written by another
family member. I have a lot to share with you.

Recently I wrote for a copy of a Texas land certificate. I received a
response and examined the document for other clues. One mystery that surfaced
was the certificate #48 dtd 2 Aug 1841 was issued by Paschal County Board of
Land Commissioners(BLC). Later certificates were issued by Cass County, TX.
BLC.
I cannot find any reference to Paschal County in any of the Republic's
boundries. Am I missing something? Any HELP?????
This is a correspondence I recieved from a cousin researcher back in January
of this year.

The connections between Archibald and the generations surrounding him are
quite misty. There is really no direct evidence, all of it is circumstantial.
The story about Matthew the rebel comes from a 1930 article published by the
Clan Campbell Society. matthew's presence in Donegal is documented as is his
marriage to Janet Baxter 4/27/1687. They evidently had a number of children.
It appears that the
Being very new to the group (as of yesterday) I hesitate but....the best rule
is keep it simple. If I interpret what your are discussing correctly your
example would be the best, direct and to the point. Numbers confuse many of
us.
Sorry if I stepped on some of your toes by reminding you about attachments. I
get alot of returned messages from a couple of my lists. and some are from
attachments.
I was reminded that we are all adults, and that the Welcome message was
enough of a reminder. So enough said.

Sandi,
I recently heard that there were Rhea's, Scotch-Irish Coventer Presbyterians,
in Mecklinburg Co. NC. Lot's of Rhea's . Probably those different spellings.
I also heard there was a file in the file library of Aol Genealogy Forum on
NC and that it contained alot of the above information. I do not have a
zipper so cannot open it. Maybe you will want to look there for both of us.
