Pat, please help me find this Elizabeth RHEA's complete name, nicknames and
exact date of birth in Sullivan Co.TN. Also, who did she marry and when and
more importantly...when, where did she die and where is she buried? This
Elizabeth RHEA was the daughter of James & Elizabeth Snapp RHEA of Sullivan
Co. TN. She is listed in the Ed Foley Book, but no history or data on her
have I been able to find in his wonderful book. But this is suppose to be my
great great grandmother and I want to try to document it if indeed she is or
start looking for another Elizabeth RHEA that is my missing relative. This
elusive Elizabeth has been a topic of family conversation for over 150+ years
and I would like to visit her burial place and if she does not have a marker,
I would at least like to have her one made and placed next to her.

My father, Robert G RHEA (1915-1984) tried to get me interested in this RHEA
family genealogy many years back but I was too young to understand how much
it meant to him and now his own family. Even tho he has passed on, I would
love to do this research and hopefully unravel this life-long mystery in his
honor. I am planning at trip to Eastern TN this fall, any help, leads,
suggestions, where to go, where to stay, what to do and what NOT to do would
be greatly appreciated from the wonderful people on this list, as I respect
your wisdom immensely.
Thanks for reading this and I look forward to hearing from you.
