Says John Rhea was one of the graduates of Washington College and became a
minister of the gospel- Presbyterian church.

If you have not seen this book, go to your local library and request that they
get it. Its blue, and its huge, Looked pretty new.

Wm. Rea of N.Y. permitted by law to return to the State, on petition of Whigs
, in 1784.

In handbook of American Genealogy The Rhea name is listed 6 times. Its like
a Who's who in Genealogy, and lists the Genealogists and the works they have
researched. So The Rhea name would have been researched by a specific
Genealogist and it give the persons name and where they live. It was published
in 1984 I believe.
