    This is only a possibility. There is no proof as of yet. There is also speculation that John Rhea is decended from French Huguenot Ancestory, again no proof yet.

    John Ray/ Rhea sent his five oldest male children to America. The spelling was to have changed when the boys came to America. Son William is believed to have changed his name to Rhea and is usually reported to have settled in West Virginia or eastern Tennessee.
