Pat and Ed:

Re your messages of April 21st, Subj. Lewis Rhea Bible. Lewis L. Rhea
was the son of Robert "Bobbie" Rhea, Jr. and his wife Mary Stephens.

Today I received from the Dallas Public Library a copy of the article to
which you referred: "The Rhea Family Bible" was published in the Watauga
Association of Genealogists (Johnson City, TN) Bulletin, Vol. 8, Nos. 1 & 2,
1979, pages 30-31.

This article shows LEWIS L. RHEA married MARTHA HOLLOWAY

Ed's book (2000) showed Martha HALLOWAY.

Please note: In the article, the name of Lewis L. Rhea's wife is shown as
PATSY in the list of the children of William Holloway and Nancy (Boswell)
Mitchell; and as MARTHA in the "Family Register" pertaining to Lewis L. Rhea
and his wife and children. The birthdate for Patsy/Martha is the same in both
instances in the article.

It appears that "Patsy" was a nickname for Martha.

Following is the article as it appeared in the Wautaga Bulletin:
