Dear Group:

I went to the National Archives yesterday to look for my Samuel Rea's war
record. While I was there, I decided to copy down all the Rea's I could find
for the group. If any of you want to order any of these records, the National
Archives charges $10 per record by mail. If you go there during the week and
have time to wait, there is no charge for the record if you can hang around
for a couple of hours. If anyone needs more details on any of the names
below, let me know and we'll see what we can work out.

The following are all Rea's (Rhea) (Ray), so I am not going to repeat the
last name. They are alphabetical by first name, then the regiment, then their
rank.
