Bob notes: Jane's mother was called Winnie for Winniford and her grandmother was called Hannah for Johanna, but both would have been dead by the time frame mentioned in the article.   --------------------   Johanna Rea (wife of James Rea Henry Co VA) is certainly deceased by 1795 [cf. Henry Co DB V:199-200], but I've not found evidence of the death of Winnifred Rea [wife of William Collin(g)s Rea] so I'm not sure she has died by 1830. Instead, the scenario I'm contemplating is one in which both Thomas Ray and Hannah Ray are both children of Wm Collins  & Winnifred Rea.  There are some very interesting similarities between these Marion Co TN Ray families and a number of Reas who appeared in FCI sometime ~1840 or so.  [I'll have to write a separate post with a better subject line to elaborate on this idea.]
