Hi PAT; Nice to hear from you again. Got the info you sent. I had one piece
of it but not the rest. I am sure that when I dig into it further I am sure
it will yield some answers. I thank you very much for your time and help.

A number of connections between the Rhea and Turk families occurred through
the years. The marriage between Thomas Turk Jr. and Anne Rhea, which
occurred in 1776 in Augusta County, VA, produced these children: Thomas Turk
III, James Turk, Robert Turk, Margaret Turk, Sally Turk, Archibald Rhea
Turk, Hiram Kerr Turk, William Turk and Ellizabeth Turk.
Margaret Turk, Thomas Turk Jr's half sister, married John Rhea in 1784.
Their children were Thomas Turk Rhea, James Turk Rhea, Elizabeth Rhea,
William Rhea

Goodmorning PAT; I just read your post about the RHEA-TURK reunion and it
reminded me that I haven't talked to you in a long time. I am still
searching for Mary Jane RHEA's father. The 1860 Greene Co, census in Caney
Branch area (dist 3) shows that her mother is Margaret RAY, and they are
living in the household of HENNEGAR's, RAY's and WELLER's. So I am at this
time searching to see if Margaret's maiden name is HENNEGAR or WELLER. Do
you by any chance have any info on the HENNEGA, WELLER or RAY relationsh
