Please let me know in your findings if you may get back to before the 1800's
and if you may find a Rebecca Rhea born in year 1800 in Va. (or what is now
West Virginia), She was one of my 3rd great-grandmothers. Rebecca
married Daniel Denning in 1816 and lived most of her adult life in Tiffin
twp/West Union Twp in Adams Co. Ohio. I have been contacted with a few
leads that have been so far inconclusive.
Thank you for any help!
