Hi Pat, I visited and found your site very interesting. I was wondering though if you ever visited the <TNGREENE-L@rootsweb.com> mailing list and sites. There were several Rheas in east Tennessee in the late 1700's and early 1800's. I saw nothing on the Rev. Robert Rhea who was married in 1820's to my Elizabeth Balch, daughter of Elijah W. Balch and Mary (Mollie) Green. How about Rhea Academy..... and Rheatown, both named for the Rheas I speak of ? ...... just wondering...... Gene
