I am going to Salt Lake City in the next two weeks and want to take a day
to visit one of the Libraries to reaearch my REA line. I need some input
of where to search and what to search for, as I feel fustrated where to go
from here.

My Family Is from George Washington REA, b 4 Jun 1807 m Hannah Stillwell b
18 Apr 1810 m 30 Jan 1830(bond signed by Squire STillwell)
Children Richard Franklin b 18 Dec 1830 NC
Emeline b 27 Oct 1832 NC
Martha b 5 Jun 1836 NC or Ga
John R b 1 Nov 1837 Ga
Albert Stokes b 1840 Ga
Mary Ann b 17 Jun 1842 Ga
Nancy Adeline b 1846 Ga
Margaret Minerva b 17 Jan 1848 ?
George Washington Jr b 18 Sep 1850 MS
James Milton b 27 Aug 1854 MS

History: I have a primer done by George Washington REA Sr that is sprinkle
with his name and the spelling is REA. I have found a listing in the 1830
Mecklenburg NC census with Geo W Rea on the second line and next to him
Thos S. Rea then skips 4 names then Green L REA on p 327 of census. I
caannon seem to linkk any of these to GW. George moved to Conyers Georgia
with Hanna's parents the STILLWEELLS and stayed a while then settled in
Neshoba county MS supposedly ewnroute to Texas, but stayed in MS. I have
records of them being in a church in GA and the STILLWELLS remained in GA.
I don't know if he had any land of his own as he moved to Ga apparently
about 1836. ANY SUGGGESTIONS accepted. I am at a lost to link to any of
the many REA'S in Mecklenburg,, NC.. I have great records from 1850 MS
on, but only these two to go back to NC with the exception of the
STillwells. Thanks in advance.
