Could be the son or grandson of the original member of my line of the Rhea
family to immigrate to America, Rev. Joseph Rhea. He died in 1777 in
Maryland and his widow and younger children moved with an older son, John,
to the frontier of Tennessee. He had a son Joseph, b: 1762 and married
1789. I could be him. I will check my files when I get home tonight and
let you know what I find out.

this was sent to me by a fellow researcher on my Ashcraft, Evans line.
Do we know who this Joseph Rhea was?

The 1790 property tax list for Monongalia Co., VA shows that John SNIDER
owned two female slaves. In 1799, John SNIDER discovered his nineteen
year-old slave, Sarah, was infected with venereal disease. She was taken to
Dr. MARCHAND to be treated. Three months later, in September 1799, he sold
Sarah to Joseph RHEA. After the sale, RHEA discovered she was infected. He
then sued for $300. At court, Dr. MARCHAND declared she was cured and RHEA
only received $20.00 to pay for the doctor bill.
