You're right Polly,

this list takes Rea, Rae, Ray, and Wray, besides Rhea. It was basically
started for only one spelling Rhea, but as more came on board and asked if
they could be included we did. We know that Ray is English, but even my
Rhea was written as Ray in Census records.
Its hard to match up all these names, because so many people's names were
spelled the way that the person that ws writing down the info, heard it.

Not correct English but you get the gist.
