Don, I am searching for a James A. REA, born in Cumberland Co., PA c. 1827. Maybe your George and James REA are ancestors of my James REA? It was very common for the same name to be passed on from one generation to the next, often without any "jr." or "II" tacked on. My James' parents would have been born c. 1790-1807. Cumberland County was created out of part of Lancaster County in 1750, five years after your George REA died. If the family stayed in the area a few generations, there might be a connection here.Gary Rea
