Jesse Alexander born ca. 1819, died 21 June 1891 Morgan Co. IL
Morgan Co IL is where my Rhea family went to after Sangamon Co IL by way of
Cumberland Co KY.
Do you think that Elizabeth was related to that bunch?
Also two separate families of Rhea's up there.

gggrandfather they migrated to Kansas where she died, and he married 2nd
