(4) Margaret Rhea married William Barnett.[62] The author believes that (5)
Thomas Rhea married his cousin, Martha Rhea, daughter of Robert, the brother
of James. Only two months after Thomas received the power of attorney from
other family members to collect their share of William Rhea Sr.'s estate
from his son and Thomas' uncle, Robert, executor, [85] Martha was married to
a Thomas Rhea in Bath County. The bound was dated Janury 23, 1804.[86] (6)
Mary/Polly Rhea married a Thomas Rhea on June 27, 1805 [87] Though proof at
this time is lacking, he, too, may have been a cousin, the son of Robert,
James' brother. In November of 1805, Thomas, the son of James, and Martha,
his wife, plus Mary/Polly, daughter of james, and Thomas, her husband,
signed with other heirs of James a deed in Barren County, Kentucky granting
John Rhea of Bath County title to the property he secured as a result of his
lawsuit.[88]
After Thomas' death, Mary/Polly married James Hickman, January 22, 1819.
[89] When the uncle, Robert Rhea, died in Pocahontas County, Virginia in
1834, he had bequeathed one hundred dollars to the children of Thomas,
indicating that Thomas had died. [90] (7)Hannah Rhea married Noah Hickman on
August 16, 1814.[91] The author has found no marriage records for (8) Martha
Rhea. (9) John Rhea chose his own guardian in May, 1812, Robert Rhea, moved
to Preble County, Ohio.[92] A John Rhea married Margaret Harrison on
November 1, 1824.[93]
