I was delighted to receive Ed Foley's email of October 9th concerning Robert
M. Rhea. I am his great, great granddaughter. Before that time I had been
unable to trace Robert M. Rhea and his wife, Nancy, back any further than the
year and place of their birth - 1807 in Sullivan City, TN. This information
was found in the 1850 census for IL in Edgar County.

Robert and Nancy had three children: 1) Angeline b. 1834 in Edgar, 2) David
V. b. 1836 in Edgar, and 3) Juretty b. 1838 in Edgar.

My great grandfather was David V. He fought in the Civil War for the North.
Later he married a woman by the name of Mary Judd. They eventually settled
in NE where David V. and Mary raised by grandmother Grace Lillian Rhea.

Grace married Rutherford Clarence Mayo in 1908. My father, Clifford Bruce,
was born in 1910.

I am having a difficult time finding information about the Rhea Family in NE
and would appreciate help. Hopefully, my information will be of use to
others.

Please feel free to contact me at

Most sincerely,
Marilyn Mayo Montgomery
