Is there anyone on this list who is researching the Moses Ray who died
about 1830 in Warren Co., TN. His wife has been said to be Hannah
Ritter. However, in some documents I found today, it gives her name as
Ritter Hudson Ray. Could her name have Hannah Ritter Hudson before she
married Moses Ray?

Dear Edward,
First, I would like to commend you for your extensive research on the various
lines of the Rhea family.
My maiden name is Rhea, and I am a direct descendent of #350 Alexander Rhea,
a son of #152 James Rhea. As you know, James was the husband of Mary Gr
I have a little information about her. She apparently married Elijah
Drake about 1808. Since the Drakes seem to be related to the John
Rae/Ray/Rhea/Rea I am researching I suspect that this Pheobe is somehow
related to him but more likely a granddaughter or something. Think she
is too young to be a daughter and she wasn't mentioned amongst the aunts
of Dicy (Ray) Perkins in the records that she gave to the Mormon Church
for the baptisms for the dead.
Now I do think that this John Ray/Rea/Rae/Rhea h
You don't need to look it up. I was hoping maybe that you just knew. I
was trying to figure out whether it was close to some of the Rays/Rheas I
thought my line might be related to.

As you and I have discussed before I have strong Native American ties on my
Hendrix, Redwine, Rhea, and Barnes lines. I was seeking a name that fix as a
special name. I was bouncing around Bird names as I love birds and Seabird
popped in. I live near the coast and love seabirds, especially pelicans and
gulls. Shortly there after a N/A elder confirmed this as my given or N/A
name. Interstly after that I found that my Redwine G-grandmother was full

Do you know what VA county Fort Blackmore is in? This sounds
interesting. Dicy was one of the favorite names in my Rhea family.

Uriah (or Neri or Eli) Jackson Harrison Glenn Rhea born 1821, probably in Lincoln

He is probably not the son of John and Sally Rhea of Lincoln Co., TN. Their son
Pleasant Vincent Rhea was born circa 1803, married Fannie B. White, moved to
Washington Co., AR circa 1829 where he died circa 1864.

The place where my great grandfather was buried has all been cleared away and no markings of any graves left. The cemetery

Yes, we're not sure whether it was a mispelling for Seibert or really
intended to be Sebird. Sebird is what he seemed to use as well as the
rest of the family.
You say "Sebird" is Native American. Tell me more about that. I have
wondered about the Native American aspect before as there are some
indications of that.

I'm feeling really brave today having just returned from the LDS Library
and reviewing film 183,383, Mormon Records at Endowment House, Baptisms
for the Dead (1877 Index of Heirs), pages 75, 76, and 97.
I looked at the people that Dicy Ray Perkins, daughter of Aaron Ray and
Nancy Howell, and her husband, William Gant Perkins, son of Ute Perkins
and Sarah Gantt, baptisms and the relationships that they gave for these
people. I previously had a not very easy to read copy of this info and
mostly it was
