EVEN MORE INTRIGUING!!!
My husband, Lynn Rhea of Chattanooga, had a great uncle John Rhea here in
Chattanooga. He also was single. His brother Andler Wesley "Wes" Rhea
was my husband's grandfather. John seems to have been a very popular name
with the Rhea's.

Dr. Bob,
I believe the person to whom you're referring in your story about the
soldier from TN and AL is Lewis/Louis Rhea who married Martha "Patsy"
Holloway 8 Dec 1824 in Bennettville, AL.
I don't have the name John as the first name of my Louis/Lewis, though.
Lewis/Louis was the son of Robert "Bobbie/Robbie" Rhea, Jr. and Mary
Stephens (daughter of Col. Jehu Stephens). Robert Rhea, Jr. and Mary
Stephens are my 3-great-grandparents.
We have records indicating that Louis/Lewis served in the War of 181
Who is related to this person? and through which branch of our Rhea's.?

Pat....I have found some more info on Archibald RHEA, father of Anna Eliza
RHEA.
Other children of Archibald and Catherine SEVIER RHEA shows a James W - no
dates, John Sevier, Jane, Anna Elizabeth born 1809 and Mary born 1812. I am
hoping some of you have something on this family,
Thanks, Mary Ellen RHEA McKelvey
Hello Pat and everyone on this list:
I have come across this Anna Eliabeth RHEA born 1809 and wonder if
anyone on this wonderful list can tell me anything about her. It shows
her parents to be Archibald RHEA and Catherine Sherrill SEVIER.
Archibald being born ca. 1774 in Washington Co., TN and Catherine
being born ca 1781 and they were married 10 Feb. 1803 in Knox Co TN
and Catherine Sevier RHEA died 31 May 1827 in Alabama.
These counties in Tennessee are mentioned: Washington, Knox, Monroe,
and Overton.
Lawrence, I believe was the name of the Single John L. Rhea in Knoxville.
When I was thru Alabama this summer, I was told by a Barnes Cousin who lives
Gadsden in Northeastern Al, of the local Judge named William Rhea and a
retired Army General who lives in Gadsden and coincidently had the same name
as Judge Rhea in Sneedville, Tenn. We visted him, and while we were there
he added some interesting information about how he was descended from a
solider in TN who went south to fight with Andrew Jackson in the
Intriguing! My great-grandfather was a John L. Rhea. He however lived in
Knoxville TN. There was another John L.Rhea contemporary in Knoxville who
was a prosperous merchant. His lien parallels mine. Many same descendants
and cousins. He was single and never married, however. My line is through
Matthew. In can connect back to Sterling Rhea, and further back. The time
lines of all three John L. Rheas and my Rhea John L.'s son Robert W. had a
son named Floyd (my uncle).Good searching. Dr. Bob Barnes!

I also had a John L. Rhea. Mine was John Lawrence Rhea b. 1845, Morgan Co.
IL. The Lawrence was from his mother Virlinda M. Lawrence.

Mary Ellen RHEA McKELVEY, Pat, & List:
The ancestry of Anna Elizabeth RHEA (also recorded as Ann Eliza RHEA)
was as follows: Her paternal great-great-grandparents were Archibald
and (?) RHEA; her great-grandparents were Robert and Sarah (BINGHAM)
RHEA [Robert was the brother of William and Archibald RHEA whose
immediate descendants are well documented]; her grandparents were
Archibald and Margaret (?) RHEA, and her parents were Archibald and
Catherine (SEVIER, CAMPBELL) RHEA. Her siblings were as listed
Yes, John was very common.. There were not a lot of John "L" Rheas however.
Question? Did any of your Rheas have difficultly reading or writing? I am
doing a genetic origin study on Dyslexia. For example I can verify 10
generations in my Rhea line. Dyslexia is not a IQ things but a way the
brain is wired. In the dyslexia brain there are as many as 100 pathways
between right and left brian lobe. Most non-dyslexia have around three
pathways. One Neurologist shared how both sides compete for control and some
