Marry Ellen my John was born in the 1870s and was married in 1891. There is
a folk tale connection to Texas about an un named daughter. Black Dutch is
common in family conversation, It can alsomean Melungeon. Judge Rhea in
Sneedville Tn. has a phot of his father inhs office that look a lot like my
grandfather, and he says he has Melungeon or Black Dutch Connection. The
problem with the Melungeon/Black Dutch is they often assumed other linages
and family names, hence dead end or brick walls. I suspect this could be
the case of my John L. Rhea
