Does anyone have information on John Rhea who married Judith Leake in
Rockbridge Co., Virginia on 11 Sept 1810? On the marriage bond his name was
spelled REA. They had a daughter named Jane C. born Knox Co., TN in 1812.

John Rhea/Rea's marriage to Judith Leake is believed to have been his second
marriage. He possibly had daughters from his first marriage who remained in
Tennessee when John and Judith and their daughter Jane C. migrated to
Missouri by the late 1820s.

Jane C. Rhea married in Crawford Co., Missouri in 1831 to John Malone.

John and Judith (Leake) Rhea may have had a son named John Paul Rhea, and
probably other children.

This John Rhea may be a brother of Archibald Rhea who was in Missouri. John
may have died before 1840 in Missouri.

I didn't find Judith Leake in the index of Ed's new book on Matthew "The
Rebel." Would greatly appreciate any help!
