children were not just in Tennessee, some were in Virginia, in NC, Ky. etc.
My particular branch was in Va to Ky and so forth. And there were lots of
John Rhea's.

Here is an article that I found in Usgenweb archives for green co. ar. bio's.

The known history of the Rhea family in Greene County begins long ago in
Warren County, Tennessee. On the 19th of March 1830, Moses Rhea, father of
Obediah Rhea (later of Greene County, Arkansas) made his will.

In this will Moses Rhea mentions his wife, Hannah Ritter Rhea; his daughter
Polly Hubbert; a son, Joseph; a daughter, Jane Cambell; a daughter, Susannah
Sims; a son James; a son, John; a son, William; and a son Alfred. A
grandson
of Moses Rhea, also named Moses, is also mentioned. This younger Moses Rhea
was the son of Obediah. This will was witnesseed by Loroy Braly, Thomas
Martin, and Alfred Braly.

Does anybody know anything about the Joseph Rhea mentioned here?
