"The widow, Anne Luckey Balch, continued to live in their home until some
time after the 1830 United States Census was taken. At that time she was
tabulated with two females, one between 15 and 20 years of age, the other
between 20 and 30 years of age. The latter was probably her bound servant,
Dorcas Lewis, who would have been about 25 years of age in 1830. There were
no males in the household wh

Worth S. Ray gathered a lot of information on the Ray/Rhea/Wray/Rae

Unfortunately, some of it has proven to be incorrect, given the many years
that have passed since he compiled TENNESSEE COUSINS, and the number of
family researchers who have been sifting through the records for since the
book was originally published in 1950.
I wanted to fill in some of the blanks in your message and correct some of
the misinformation, with regard to my own two Rhea lines: (1. Robert

Hi, Jan!
Are you going to have to drive to Oklahoma to check this Ray story? There
could be some new information there! Do you know anybody in Oklahoma who
could read it and copy maybe? I'm curious as a cat, I guess. Let me know if
you learn more.
I had such a good time being with you last week. Staying out late didn't
bother me
at all. I just slept a little later the next morning. That was the first

Pat,
It's a long shot, but it may be worth your effort to check further into the
Cumberland Co., KY, records for your elusive THOMAS RHEA. His sister,
ELIZABETH, who married her cousin, ROBERT RHEA, had an Adair County address
in 1803, one year after it was organized from Green County (see Rockbridge
Co., VA, Deed Book E, pages 227-29). Cumberland County, organized from
Green Co. in 1799, borders Adair Co. Might THOMAS RAY be your THOMAS RHEA?

Hi Ed and the list:
June and I have been looking for ole Singleton for more years than I like to
think about! I surely hope someone on the list can help her. Singleton is
one big puzzle, and another one is Joseph Rhea/Ray who married Amy Allen. I
would love to find who Joseph's parents were. My dear 95-year-old friend in
Oregon has been searching for him for more than 50 years.
