I now know that there are 2 main REA lines in Franklin County Illinois :
WILSON REA and ABNER REA, both descended from JAMES REA of Virginia.My
problem is ROBERT REA.He was born about 1820 in Tennessee,possibly Warren
County.He shows up in Franklin County in March 1844 where he weds CHARITY
REA, the dau of Abner. I have found no mention of him in relation to Wilson
or Abner.He was there on the 1870 census. On the 1880 Census for Tyrone Twp
Charity is listed as a widow.Does anyone have any idea where he might have
come from? Was there another line of REAs in the area?

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
