David,
Most of the Ryes in the Monroe Co. area are descendants of Solomon Rye,Jr.(1783-1855)
I,can`t give you any information on the latter generations,but one of Solomon,Jr`s sons(William Monroe) had a total of 17 children with two wives.
An early settler to the Cotton Gin Port area,Frederick Weaver married Martha Rye who was a sister of Solomon,Jr`s.She was his first wife. They are my GGG Grandparents. I am in the Smithville phone book. Call me if I can help you.
You will see two numbers listed,use the first one.
