I and my cousins are from a group of Rheas who came from Hancock Cty TN to
Johnson Cty Arkansas- this gang kept the RHEA spelling.

We descend from John Rhea SR and (Febra ? Rhea ) of Hancock Cty, but have
never been able to connect John Sr to any other body of Rheas in TN or VA -
there must have been a shortage of names in those times, as there are
literally dozens of John Rheas, which makes research frustrating.

About 30 of us cousins have an email group called Febraskids
() for information exchange.

I enjoyed your email
