Thanks, Dave. I'm still sorting all this out. So, if I understand this correctly, Thomas Rea, Jr. and Arthur Rea are brothers, both sons of Thomas Rea, Sr. Arthur, as far as I can discern, is the father of George Rea, who, in turn is the father of James Dunlap Rea. I think James Rea, Sr. is a brother of George, so this would make James A. Rea and James Dunlap Rea first cousins. Of course, this all assumes I'm correct in my theoretical assumptions about this family. Everything seems to fir with what I already know, though, so I'm fairly confident I'm on the right track, finally. For the longest time, I've suspected James A. Rea was born somewhere other than Cumberland County, but I just couldn't find any evidence of it until now.
