Recently, while researching some lines of families who have some
relationships among the Rheas in East Tennessee, I came across a surprise
revelation when studying the Evans family - a new grandson of Rev. Joseph
Rhea.
Samuel Massengil in his book 'Massengil, Massengale and Variant' 1931, page
864, writes - Nancy Evans m. Robert M. Rhea, son of James Rhea, and a
grandson of Rev. Joseph Rhea, and moved to Paris, Edgar Co. IL. Further,
Massengil has transcripts of a letter written by Nancy Evans'
The Snapps are found in Shenandoah County VA very early, before 1800 ~ they
spread into WV and the west by 1800 ~ they were not a terribly prolific
family and can usually be connected within the hundred years (1800 to 1900)
back to Shenandoah County ~ they were prominent in Rockingham and Augusta
County also. Many of these VA families can be traced going west in large
groups by the same routes. Very interesting broad, general family research.

Dr. Bob & List,
Information on the ancestors and descendants of John & Margaret RHEA,
two of the seven children of James and Elizabeth RHEA, is plentiful,
especially in publications by Ed Foley, Wm. L. Rhea in his 1893/94/95
RHEA FAMILY GENEALOGY (not readily available), Zella Armstrong in
NOTABLE SOUTHERN FAMILIES, VOL. II (not very accurate), and by others.

I was delighted to receive Ed Foley's email of October 9th concerning Robert
M. Rhea. I am his great, great granddaughter. Before that time I had been
unable to trace Robert M. Rhea and his wife, Nancy, back any further than the
year and place of their birth - 1807 in Sullivan City, TN. This information
was found in the 1850 census for IL in Edgar County.
Robert and Nancy had three children: 1) Angeline b. 1834 in Edgar, 2) David

While going through the microfilmed copy of James RHEA's diary (Common
Place Book) I ran across some interesting material on the subject of
Marriage.
On a separate sheet of paper (apart from the diary) he wrote the
following:
"Blountville T. 24 Aug-1814
This morning Eliza- left me to go to see her sister Polly who lives at
Samuel Snapps on Nolichucky river- I wish she may come back safe and in
good health- if she never returns- I will mourn for the loss of my only
female companion."

How can I get more informattion on the John and Margret may on page 103.
Information like ancestors and descendants. Dr. Bob!

There seems to be some uncertainty in the literature about the names,
dates of birth, and order of birth of the children of James & Elizabeth
(Snapp) RHEA. Elizabeth is excluded in some instances, and where she is
named, little if any information about her is given.
The names and dates of birth of their children are found in his diary,
entitled "James Rhea's Common Place Book." The original, which was
donated to the Tennessee Historical Society by Mrs. Anne Rhea Bachman
