Well we now have 125 on the list. We have really made some headway this year.
We have many fine researchers on this list, not just for the name Rhea, but
Wray, Rea, Rae, and Ray. I think we all compliment each other.

You all must be doing well on your research, because I have not heard much
from the list in the last month or so. A little here and there.

I have been very fortunate in the last couple of weeks, by finding my HARVEY
connection, that ties into the LAWRENCE branch, that married into my RHEA's.
And was very exciting to find such a large family in the HARVEY-BALLARD group.

Thomas Rhea, is always on my mind. He was the son of James Rhea and Elizabeth
Meek(who later became a Stockton). Thomas was married to his first cousin
Martha Rhea., son of Robert Rhea, brother to James.

All I have on his life is that he was the one who went to collect the money
etc for his brothers and sisters; his fathers estate. and then a letter that
states he died in 1810 in Ky. That's all I have on him, and I will be giving
alot of time to him this next year. He was my 4th great grandfather. His son
James is the one who was married to a LAWRENCE (thus HARVEY and BALLARD.
Orange Co. Va.

Everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We have spent so much
money on grandchildren on gifts for Christmas for them, and we have had a
ball. 14 grandchildren. That's alot of money.
