I would like to add my limited knowledge of my Rhea family members to the
Rhea Roll Call: John Rhea and Mary Smith Rhea (Around Philadelphia, PA in
1805) ; 2. John R. Rhea b. circa 1761. d. May 7, 1843 in Clinton, LA; buried
in Clinton. Married, first Hulda Montgomery on Dec. 1, 1780 at the Second
Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, PA. Children born of this marriage:
Unknown, but possibly two. Married second, in Natchez District, MS on May
8, 1805 to Emelie Rosa Raoul, daughter of Dr. Jean Jacque (James) Raoul and
Marie Aucoin Raoul. Children born to John R. Rhea and Emelie Rosa Raoul
Rhea: (l). Emelie Rhea wife of Berryman T. Hamilton; (2). Mary P. Rhea wife
of Alexander P. Cooper; (3). Sarah Rhea wife of George Phillips; (4 ).

My great grandfather was Rhea Harvey who was born Aug. 27, 1848 in Clinton,
LA and died in St. Landry Parish in 1896. He married Ophelia Victoria Rogers
March 23, 1871 at Atchafalaya, LA. Eight children were born of this
marriage, eldest of whom was my grandfather, William Frederick Harvey married
to Mary Adelaide Boykin. Four children born to this couple, one of whom was
my mother, Sarah Agnes Harvey married to Joseph Warren Henagan. I am
Martha Henagan Luby married to John Franklin Luby, Jr. We have four
children, eight grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. I had two
brothers, now deceased, and two sisters. I have not yet connected to
anyone on the Rhea-L but I feel sure there is a connection. Any help on
this Rhea Line would be appreciated. (Martha Henagan Luby)
