#72- Augusta Co., VA Will Book 7, 38-39.* Will of Thomas Meek, father of
Elizabeth Meek, who married James, son of William Rhea, and of Martha Meek,
the first wife of James' brother, Robert. Dated June 26, 1786, proved
January, 1788. The author has a copy of the original will. Named his wife,
Agness, sons, Daniel Meek, Samuel Meek, John Meek, and daughters, Elizabeth
Reah, Mary Vachub(?), and Martha Reah. John Meek and James Reah, executors.
Signed "Thos. (his mark) Meek."
The appraisal of Agness Meek's estate was made October 8,1794, and
recorded April, 1795.
In December, 1805, Elizabeth (Meek, Rhea) Stockton, daughter of Agness
and Thomas, gave power of attorney to William Rhea (Jr.) of Green Co.,
Kentucky, that he might "demand and receive all of the estate of mother Nancy
Meek deceased now in the hands of Betsey Meek, widow of Daniel Meek deceased
which belongs or is coming to me." Barren Co., KY Deed Book A, pp 237-238.*

#73- Petition to form a new county from Augusta County, VA, dated April 15,
1778.* Copy of the original is located in the Virginia State Library,
Richmond. All four signatures look alike, and have the "Rhea" spelling,
perhaps its earliest use by the Virginia Rheas. Similarity of handwriting
suggests that many of the signatures on the petition were forged, including
some, or all, of the Rheas. See the article on BENSON, TRIMBLE AND HARPER,
submitted by William N. Stryker, page 118 of the Bicentennial History of Bath
County, Virginia.
