I just came upon this short citaion. The J.W. Rea is actually James Wright Rea. I have asked a member of the N.C. clan if they can identify the Capt. James Rea from PA>
From The Madison Courier, Jefferson Co., IN
8 Oct 1868
Capt. James S. Rea
died from pistol shot fired by J. W. Rea; buried in Springdale; no relatives
here; parents in Pa.; he married a Covell; was cavalryman in Union army, 39th
In. Reg. (Co. H 8th Cavalry 39th Infantry) J.W. Rea born in Madison.
I will follow up and keep you posted as the story unfolds.
