My Ezekiel Ray/Wray/Rhea supposedly lived in Warren Co., KY., but his
wife's parents supposedly lived in Logan Co., KY. These counties
neighbor each other. This Charles and Elizabeth, I suppose, could have
been related to this line of Rheas. There was also a John Ray/Wray/Rhea
living near Ezekiel whom I would like to think is Ezekiel's brother but
the "burden of proof" is still to be completed for these lines.

Some of these families did go to Illinois and Missouri. I would check
these lines out.

The following is the family of Elizabeth Pryor Rhea, supposedly the wife
of Ezekiel Rhea:
