Has anyone ever seen the name Febra Rhea in a legal document anywhere? Is
she only in family stories?

If John Rhea only married once and his wife was Sarah Scales, he certainly
married too late for her to be the mother of his children. EARLY MIDDLE
TENNESSEE MARRIAGES, VOL.1, GROOMS by Byron & Barbara Sistler, has the
following: Jno. S. Rhea to Sarah P. Scales 12-17-1827 (12-18-1827) [Li]
In Joseph Scales will dated 18 Jan 1830 he mentions his daughter Sally P.
Rhea. As John Rhea's children were born about 1801 to 1820, I definately do
not believe Sarah Scales was John Rhea's only wife. I realize th
All of those who are asking about the John Rhea in the lawsuit; he has been
documented. We have many very fine researchers who have been working on this
family , for many years. Robert Perry Rhea, Richard C. Fremon, and Ed Foley,
happen to be a few of them.
When I started this list many years ago, we all were working on the family
of Matthew Campbell Reagh and Janet Baxter, as this list was formed just for
the above family.
Most of those searching Febra Rhea, have never been able to link to this

Fishing expedition:
Does anyone have any Gregg-Rhea marriages or unions out there during 1750 -
1795, probably, but not necessarily, in Virginia or Tennessee?

Sorry, I did not get back with you all until now on the subject of our
particular Rhea family.
The Reagh that is our ancestor was Matthew Campbell Reagh m to Janet Baxter
in Londonderry County Donegal, IR. in 1687.and has been researched. The
Reagh name has had many changes until 1800, when it was accepted as Rhea, in
VA. No we are not original Rhea's, or lets say it has not been proven that
our name was originally Rhea and changed to Reagh.
There were Rhea in New Jersey long before we got here.

Cheryl, The John Rhea who died in Lincoln Co., TN had the following children:
Altamirs (c1801); Pleasant Vincent (1803); Mary M.B. (1808); Frances Glenn
(c1811); William Bryson (1814); Sarah Ann (1816); Brice M. Garner (1818);
Susan M. (1820). This is not the Pleasant Vincent Uriah Jackson Harris Rhea

Hi Patricia,
I sent you a private e-mail volunteering to take
over the Rea list and would still be happy to do so.

I am in the same boat... I was not aware that this list was only for folks

The date of John Rhea's birth is on his tombstone in the Rhea Cemetery near
Fayetteville, Lincoln Co., TN. John Rhea Feb 23, 1776; Feb 5, 1839 in the
68 year of his age. Sally Rhea is buried beside him with the dates - Dec 24,
1776; Aug 19, 1847.
I wonder if he was married to Sarah Harris in Grainger Co., TN in 1797. Any
ideas?
I have mentioned that John's wife was Sarah, but I did not say Sarah Scales.
I seem to remember seeing Sarah Scales in my records, but the marriage was
about 1827, and I ca

Hello you said:
>Penny,
When you say you have an old letter that mentions Febra Rhea. How old is
that letter, and who wrote it. Could it have been info from Frank Rhea?>
No, this is a letter written in the 1960's from Ida McCollum James to Ida
Depew Ferguson. They were cousins, from Hancock Co TN. Ida James was in
her 80's, living in TX and homesick for her "kin". Ida Ferguson was also
in her 80's and is my husbands grandmother. Ida James was telling about the
family and told what we call the Febra s
Sorry folks! I forgot to change the subject line on my last post about Mary

Hi Emma and Sondra:
I don't think the list is restricted to only one family. I believe what Pat
said was that when she began the list, most of the people who subscribed
just happened to be working on that particular line.
I have TWO different Rhea lines, and have been welcomed with open arms by
everyone in RHEA-L. In fact, I was asked to be the group leader for my
second Rhea line (James/Jesse Rhea) which is not connected to the
Archibald/Matthew the Rebel line, insofar as I've been able to determine.
