Subject: [RHEA-L] Rhea, Elizabeth b. 1800 in VA
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 07:56:36 -0600


So far I do not fit into any of the Rhea family circles. My Elizabeth Rhea
was born circa 1800 in VA, according to her daughter's death certificate. We
have a marriage notice in 1817 in Logan County, Kentucky for Betsy Rhea and
Jeptha Windsor b.circa 1789. Our Elizabeth was about 17 when she married a
Windsor. This Rhea/Windsor marriage is all we can find in the U.S. They
moved to Madison County, Illinois and they divorced about 1833-34. He
remarried right away but Elizabeth didn't remarry until 1836 to a Benjamin
Riney in Adams County, Illinois. Benjamin and Elizabeth Rhea Windsor Riney
moved to Knox County, Missouri. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We
cannot find the parents of Elizabeth but have a clue in Logan County, Ky
within a year, a Charles Rhea married there also, parents unknown.
