Subject: Maryland Rhea's??

Hello fellow Rhea's!

I am new to this so please be gentle if I do something wrong or breach the
proper protocols! :-)

I have been receiving your wonderful Rhea information for the last month or
so but am quite perplexed. Although the names (William, Joseph, Alexander)
keep popping up in your information, and they certainly are in my family
line, I can find no conection or at least at this point I haven't had too
much success.

I see that in most of the information we receive the Rhea's appear to be in
PA and TN, and a smattering of other locals. Does anyone have any info on
Rhea's in Maryland, and what connection to Matthew, William, Robert and
Archibald there might be.

My Rhea's apparently arrived in the US in 1814 and for what I can gather
settled in Dorchester County on the Maryland Shore, and lived there his whole
life. the following is my direct line if anyone has any info to help fill in
the blanks or any help or directions in which I should take to uncover more
info on my line I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks again for your time and patience!

Ray Buckingham
