As expected, there are many unanswered questions. Besides their ancestry, their place of residence in Ireland, and the time and place of arrival in the Colonies, the following questions are posed:

1) When, where, and how did their father, Archibald, die? What was his widow's and, presumably, their mother's given and maiden names" And what happened to her after moving to the area that became Wythe County?

2) Who was the "Uncle Archiblad Rhea" in whose home near Raleigh his niece, Elizabeth, the daughter of Robert, was reportedly born" See [Ref. 12, 22, 42].

3) What happened to Sarah, Robert's wife? Was she the mother of all of his children? Charles Luther Coyner [Ref. 22] wrote that Elizabeth's daughter, Sarah Bingham Coyner, was named after her "grandaunt." This author has assumed that she was named after Elizabeth's mother. If his statement is true, Sarah died before 1765, and Robert married her sister.

4) What happened to Robert's son, John? the author knows only that he administeredhis father's estate [Ref. 19, 47], and that he died before 1836, leaving land to his sister, Ann (Rhea) Turk. [Ref.48].
