Johnita, This is interesting as My Ray's in Alabama also spelled Rhea. When
I was a boy, my hair was cut by Mrs. Echols who said to be our relative. My
GG-grandfather was John L Rhea, born in 1868 and married Hattie Redwine born
the same year. They were in Knoxville in 1900. The census data on John L.
Rhea list birth in Tn I believe, but he was in OK. at some time, where one
or more of Great aunts-uncles were born. He worked for the Railroad. He may
have been illiterate as was my grandfather Robert Wiley Ray. Dyslexia run in
our genes. My uncle, brother and son are profoundly dyslexic( unable to
read) and my son is also disgrafic( Trouble writing) By the way he finished
college and is a teacher.. Could there be a connection to your John Rea???
Dr. Bob!
