biographical sketch of his son, Dr. Robert Henry Clark Rhea. He and his
wife, Mary Priscella (Vaughn) had three sons: David M. Rhea, Dr. Roland
Herman Clark Rhea, and Dr. Henry F. Rhea. Biographical sketches of the
latter two are on pages 245-247. Robert H.C. and his son, Henry F., were

That Robert Rhea of Hopkins County, Kentucky was related to the Rheas

acres in Virginia before his marriage two years later, perhaps in
