Biography

"The name of Rea is found in the county [Albemarle] at the time of its formation. In 1747 Fergus Rea bought a portion of the Chiswell patent on Rockfish. About the same time John Rea was the owner of land on the Rivanna near Martin King's Ford, the present Union Mills. Whether these persons were related to those hereafter mentioned, does not appear."[1]

On 2 Oct 1759, John Rea of St Ann Parish in Albemarle Co. sold 200 acres of land on the south side of the Rivannah River to Henry Martin.[2]

Research Notes

It appears to be speculative that John is the father of Fergus Rea, based only on the above cited reference.[1] Land records place both in St Ann's parish.
