While researching in Woodville, MS at Wilkinson County Court House, I
discovered this Land Deed in Book A Records on page 137: A. RHEA to his
children--Received this deed to be recorded 20th of January, 1810 (goods and
property given): ARCHIBALD RHEA of County of Wilkinson and Mississippi
Territory of the U. S. Blood Children: Andrew Rhea, Jepe (or Jessie) Rhea,
John Rhea, William Duck Rhea, Catherine Rhea, Mary Rhea, Esther Rhea and Betsy
Rhea. Signed ARCHIBALD RHEA. Also, from
the book 10,000 VITAL RECORDS OF WESTERN NEW YORK 1809-1850 by Fred Q.
