Here is what I show for the Dorchester Rheas. This is an old record of mine.
I show a differed wife's maiden name, but unfortunately I do not show the
source of the information on this line. I would be interested in how this
compares with the information of other researchers.

Dunn means doctor in Irish. Dun means a fort.
It could just be a surname used as a middle name. Named that in honor of
a respected relative maybe.

Pat...I don't know how I have missed your messages before, although my
computer has been in the shop being overhauled. I belong to the Rhea list
because I have a 'missing' great aunt, Sarah Creech Rhea in Blount Co., TN
who died a long time ago and I can't fit in. Her death certificate claims
she was the daughter of my great grandparents, but she's not on any of the
census in Hawkins and Hamblen Counties where she should have been as a
child, so she's my mystery relative and I keep hoping to pick up a clu
I have no connection with Hennegar, just did a lookup at Ancestry and
Google.com for one of the group members.

Pat,
Eliza J. Rhea is the daughter of the John Rhea, listed in the Greene County
1830 census. Mary Rhea (Age 20) is her sister. According to family lore,
Uriah Mathews managed the Stagecoach Inn at that time.
I have some information on this specific Rhea family, although I have never
been able to trace her father (John Rhea) further back.
Best regards,
James Rhea McCoy

Judy,
you might check the Rhea searchable archives. There are years 1997 to 2003.
I checked and 2001 has some info on Singleton and Mary Henry. You might want
to check other years before 2001 also.
The email address for Rhea searchable archives is:

Has anyone on this list been checking to see if our Rea surname was
originally Dunrea. I just remembered that one of the Rea men in Illinois

Mary, having researched the subject for nearly twenty years, I can tell you
that the possibility of the surname Rea being derived from Dunrea in any way
is virtually nil. The name is of Scottish origin and is a sept (allied

middle names to be taken from a mother's maiden name, forinstance. If his
mother's maiden name wasn't Dunn, then it could come from an e
