Does anyone know anything about the Rea Family/s in Rockbridge County
VA?
There is some confusion to me on the following:

Thomas Rea born about 1807 in OH?, is brother to Benjamin Rea born in
Rockbridge Co.,VA about 1803 and brother to John. Father of the 3 is
Benjamin Rea. He is supposedly born outside of PA in abt 1780's. There
is a will dated 1799 in Henry Co.,VA that lists Benjamin and Joseph as
children of a Benjamin Rea. Is there anyone that can clear the cobwebs
of confusion? Are these the same family lines or a wish in the wind?
The Robert Rea and Matthew Rea families of Madison Co.,OH seem to have
very similar shared location of Rockbridge Co.,VA as where they
originally came from and an outside of Philadelphia,PA for a Joseph
Rea's birthplace. This came from the HX of Madison and Union Co., OH.
Any help will be appreciated.
