#185 Metheny & Wise, 34,*
#186 Ibid., 22.*
#187 Bath Co., VA Deed Book 1, 509-510.* Dated February 9, 1799, recorded
February, 1799. John Rhea and Wife to Leonard Swearingen, 255 acres on Mill
Creek, corners to William Rhea, John Rhea, Samuel McDonald (formerly Wm.
Rhea Jr's land). and Henry Dill. John's wife did not sign.
#188 Botetourt Co., VA Will Book C, 122.* Will of Henry Dill. Dated March
3, 1818, proved June, 1818. Named his wife, Mary, son, Andrew, daughters,
Anne Brubaker, Susanna, and Ester, sons-in-law, Michael Rule, Abraham
Brubaker, Daniel Dilman, "my five grandchildren of John Rhea Decd ..my
granddaughter Rebecca Rhea (&Daughter of Nicholas Young's wife
Catharine),"and Nicholas Young. He named his son, Jacob, and brother-in-law,
Jacob Agist(?), executors. The names of the five grandchildren, children of
John and Magdalene (Dill)Rhea, are determined by comparing the names found
in Thomas Turk's deed of gift [Ref.40] with John's heirs as listed in the
Madison County, Alabama Chancery Court Records [Ref.184].
Who was Rebecca Rhea? She was, by admission, his granddaughter, and
the daughter of Nicholas Young's wife, Catharine. It appears that Catherine
was his daughter who either had a child by a Rhea, perhaps John, or "Rhea"
was Rebecca's middle name. Although possible but unlikely, "Rhea" may have
been her married name. Catherine did not receive part of the estate. She may
have died before the will was written, although "deceased" did not follow
her name. Nor was Nicholas Young referred to as a son-in-law.
