Jesse Alexander born ca. 1819, died 21 June 1891 Morgan Co. IL
Morgan Co IL is where my Rhea family went to after Sangamon Co IL by way of
Cumberland Co KY.
Do you think that Elizabeth was related to that bunch?
Also two separate families of Rhea's up there.
James Rhea m to Rachel Jolliff- uncle and aunt to my James below
James Rhea m. to Virlinda Lawrence
John Lawrence Rhea m. to Mary Ann Turner- Morgan Co IL He was my
gggrandfather they migrated to Kansas where she died, and he married 2nd

Polly, I saw a real reduction in messaging after the 9-11 bombing. And most
lists just never recovered. I had the KsMiami, the MoBates, Eidson, and
Silvertooth. I gave those back to rootsweb. I will keep the Rhea list, no
one has to worry about that. But I would like to see more people using the
list.
Sharee, there was a Henry Rhea living about two or three doors down from the
Creech family, in that census.

Mary,
I have a WILLIS RHEA, son of
ALBERT BLAIR RHEA and Ada King. Albert was born 21 Apr 1874 in Linn Co.,
OR, the son of
LEWIS RHEA and Mary/Marie Eliza Humphreys. Lewis Rhea was born 13 Dec 1822
in Blount Co., TN and d. 18 Aug 1822, Linn Co., OR; he married Mary/Marie
Eliza Humphreys. Lewis was the son of
JESSE RHEA and Margaret Blair of Blount Co., TN. Jesse was the son of
JAMES RAY/RHEA and Mary Paul of Blount Co., TN
I don't have any other information on this Willis Rhea in my computer, but
Still haven't found Sarah Creech Rhea from Blount County TN. Supposedly
buried in Bent Creek Cemetery, but she isn't listed, so she may have an
unmarked grave. Sharee Creech Shermer

Polly Dixon & List,

"The name of Col. Stephens' wife has not been established, but may have

It is well documented that Mary Stephens, a daughter of Col. Jehu

Hi again, Helen,
I forgot to tell you in my earlier message that William H. Rhea, son of
Lewis L. Rhea, was the grandson of Robert Rhea, Sr. and Sarah Bingham. He
was the great-grandson of Archibald Rhea, Sr. and Ann ---?---.
Lewis L. Rhea's mother, Mary Stephens (wife of Robert "Robbie/Bobbie" Rhea,
Jr.) was the daughter of Col. Jehu Stephens. The name of Col. Stephens'
wife has not been established, but may have been Bethia/Bethiah/Bilkiah

sure is good to see all of you posting. Maybe we can help find a few brick
walls.

We sincerely hope that you will not let go of the RHEA list!! It may be
slow at present, but it is vital.

I also have not posted to the list in a very long time. I have a
question related to health records....My grandfather was purported to
have died of "Consumption" (these days we call it TB) in 1927+/- . Were
there Public Health records then? I have not had much luck with
searches. I know people were treated in Sanitariums for many years in
the past, but was treatment mandatory like it is now?
Just trying to find the path not yet taken...

Excuse my intrusion, Joe...but you just knocked me out of my seat. My
grandmother was a Hennegar. I didn't think I would ever see that name come
up and it just slapped me in the face. I know very little about it. If you
would care to write me off this list about that family...Pat, is it OK for
him to do that? Sharee

married Jacob Cameron Apr. 14 1836 in Madison Co. IL. Jacob died 30 Dec.
1860 in Lee Co. Iowa and Matilda married a Bailey and died 6 Oct. 1893 in
Jackson Co. MO.
Not much, I am sorry.

Hi Pat,
I'm still trying to connect my James Ray/Rhea and his son Jesse to my OTHER
Rhea line: Archibald Rhea Sr., Robert Rhea Sr., Robert "Robbie/Bobbie Rhea,
Jr.
I keep thinking someone new to the list will log on and have the answer!
Maybe one reason the list hasn't been very active lately is the recent
increase in viruses and worms. During an especially bad week in early
September I rec'd about 300 (they were caught by my antivirus protection and
deleted). It got to the point where I hated to chec
Goodmorning SHAREE; Good to hear from a HENNEGAR researcher. Here is
where my info comes from, ALL relationships are not proven as yet, just
suspect that they are the people I am searching for and wondering what the
exact relationship is.

one household. (forgot to get the page #'s)

Helen,
I have the following on a William H. Rhea in Alabama:
Lewis L. Rhea/Ray was born in Blount (or Knox) Co., TN 16 Apr 1797 and died
in Cherokee Co., AL on 20 Sep 1861. He married Martha "Patsy" Holloway in
Bennettville, St. Clair Co., AL on 8 Dec 1824. WILLIAM H. RHEA, their 7th
child, was born 22 Oct 1845 and died in Attalla, AL 4 Jun 1916. I have
"J.H. Cameron" as his wife and the marriage 21 Nov 1883 in St. Clair Co.,
AL.
Some of the information I have on Lewis L. Rhea and his family came from
Although I have posted this query before, this seems to be a good time to do
so again since there is so much activity on this list.
Does anyone have any information about a RAY family residing in Huntsville,
Madison County, AL ca 1800 - 1835 with a son named William Henry RAY?
According oral family history my husband's ggrandfather, William Henry RAY, was born
there around 1820-1822; and when William Henry was very young, his father
died. His mother re-married and soon thereafter, she died. Aft
Thank you, yes. This is his second wife, Sarah Hartman Dodson Creech.
This is the 1880 Hamblen Co TN Census. I have Benjamin pretty well nailed
down...have yet to find his father for sure, but his wives and children.
Just don't know where Sarah Creech Rhea came in. If you will note, the
Laura listed here has "A" for her middle initial...her name would most
likely not have been Laura Sarah anyway, one wouldn't have thought. Of
course she could have taken her real mother's name or her stepmother's name

Sheree,
Post what you have about Sarah Creech Rhea and lets see if we can find some info for you. Please include dates and places. Also her husband and children would also help.
To the List:
I have no intentions in letting this list go. Its been in existance since 1996 when I started it, and hope its still here for along time.
We all need to be sharing any new information we find whether it applies to our Rhea's or not.
