This weekend, on our way home from the Outer Banks, I persuaded my husband to stop in Salisbury, NC to check out the McCubbins file on my Barkley family. As we had a long drive, I ask for "just one hour". Boy, I could have used several days!
I rushed and found the Barkley files and started copying. One letter I found may be of interest. It was fr
Does anyone out there know anything about the ancestry or descendancy of
this John Rhea. I found it under the Tennessee Chronical site in Monroe
County Page? I am a descendant of the Rheas but would really like to know
something more about this one to see if he is connected in anyway to my
line. My Rheas were from Tennessee. Thankyou.

Hi Fellow Searchers,
last night I sent a message to the list about David R. Ray and the US
Naval Ship named after him. I need to clear up some confusion. This
young man was not my son. My son is alive and serveing on another ship.
I just happened to find the name of the USS David R. Ray and thought
someone might be searching the line he was in, so sent it to the list.

Fellow Rhea Researchers:
Thought this might be helpful to some of you on the list. We know that William
Rhea, Rockbridge and Augusta co., was issued a hemp certificate . If any of
you see this mentioned you'll know what it means.
A hemp certificate was the same thing as a tobacco certificate. It was
a document showing the holder had turned in so many pounds of the named
commodity to the warehouse for sale. These certificates were used as
cash since there was little hard currency in circulation. In

~Introduction~
Expansion by Americans from the Atlantic to the Pacific took many years,
often
spanning generations. During the colonial years, travel was largely
North-South. Following the Revolutionary War, citizens of the new nation
began
to forge westward and were often joined by newly arriving immigrants.
Expansion occurred by different paths and a variety of tr

THE NATIONAL ROAD
The National Road was originally called the Cumberland Road because it
started
in Cumberland, Maryland. By 1825, it was referred to as the National Road
because of its federal funding. The enabling act for admission of Ohio to the
Union in 1803 contained provisions for construction of a road linking the
East
and West. Congress then passed "An Act to Regulate the Laying Out and Making
a
Road from Cumberland, in the State of Maryland, to the State of Ohio." In
1811, contracts were sig

It is 7 pages long. There is a Rhea listed, but there are other names that if
you are related to people from Augusta Co. Va. that migrated to Kentucky and
were members of the presbyterian church, you're going to find this mind
boggling.

I am not sure how this relates to the large Rhea family, but thought I would
tell you that Robert and Sarah Bingham Rhea had a son Robert. He married in
1787 to Mary Stephens. He had a sister Ann Rhea Turk. Her husband Thomas Turk
Jr. moved to Tennessee and were living in Blount County when he died in 1833.
Their children according to a descendent were James Turk, Robert Turk,
Archibald Rhea Turk, Elizabeth Turk, Margaret Turk, William Turk, Hiram Turk,
Sally Turk, and Thomas Turk. per Robert Perry Rhea, B
Hi Alvey,
I think most of us have found the family name spelled many different
ways. There are as many different reasons for this - as people moved out
onto the frontier there was little time for schooling and usually younger
family members could neither read nor write, also census takers spelled
names phonetically. My family spells the name RHEA and RAY. I can't tell
which came first so I look at all of them.
My sister thinks that those early Grainger County Ray/Rheas are related
to our Hawkins/Hancock/C

THE MOHAWK (IROQUOIS) TRAIL
The Mohawk Trail of New York, also known as the Iroquois Trail, extended from
Albany west to the eastern end of Lake Erie, where Buffalo is now located.
This was the most northerly route through the Appalachian Mountains, leading
from New York's Hudson Valley along the Mohawk River on to the Great Lakes.
It

For several years I have been looking for my gt-grandmother's (Maud Ray)
ancestors. I didn't have much except her name and that she married Robert
Sattler of Cincinnati, OH ca 1880, and died before 1900.
Yesterday, I learned that she descends from Wm. & Margt. Ray who were in Ohio
Co, VA when their son, Joseph was born on 25 NOV 1807. I checked my current
atlas and there is no Ohio Co. in VA, but there is one in WV. Back in 1807
was this all VA?
Does this William & Margt. Ray sound familiar to anyone?

What better way to celebrate than beginning to research your female
ancestors?
I got this idea from the Reunion Magazine article.
The Other Half of Your Genealogy: Researching Women.
Yes its true that tracking women in your pedigree is a greater challenge.
Women had few rights so their husbands, fathers, and brothers left more
records. Don't let that stop you. You just need to be a little more creative
in your research.
