John Rhea's will says "Upon the death of my wife it is my will that the four
following negroes be equally divided between my sons Pleasant V., William
B., Brice M. G. and my daughters Mary B., Susan M., Sally Ann and Altamira
and my grandchildren Rufus R. & Frances E. Smith that portion of said
Altamira to be for the use and benefit of her children by James Isom to wit,
Lewis, Grace, Dave & Chaina and the increase if any "

Hi Denise,
Thank you so very much for correcting this information for me. You are
correct, I did get the information from the book, "Wills & Inventories of
Lincoln County, Tennessee 1810-1921" by Helen C. & Timothy R. Marsh in 1989.
I do realize one should get the original documents and this proves it once
again. I will correct the entry in my book. Have you run across any more
like this?

>>I do have quite a bit of info on this RHEA family because my ancestor
Pleasant Vincent Uriah (or Eli) Jackson Harrison Glenn RHEA was supposedly
from Lincoln County, TN and had the same name as John and Sally RHEA's son.

I have proved to my satisfaction that he was not the son of John and Sally,
but I still do not have any parents for him. <<

Do you mean in the above paragraph that this Pleasant RHEA had 6 given names?

So many of these early Washington County, Arkansas families came from
Lincoln County, Tennessee. I am banking on this P.V. belonging to my branch.

>> If anyone needs more info on John and Sally RHEA of Lincoln Co., TN or
their
descendants I will be glad to send what I have for the price of copying.>>

Denise, I would be happy to pay copying costs for further information on
John & Sally RHEA. (even if it does disprove my hypothisis) All I have is
the Will Abstract Book and page 201 of "Cemetery Records of Lincoln County
Tennessee" by Marsh.
Thanks again for your response..... Kathryn
