Charity Wayne Rhea was my grandmother.(b) 6/26/1897 Goree, TX (d) 11/26/1965 Bakersfield, CA.I was at the hospital with her just before she died.On my Father's birth certificate, Charity's last name is spelled "Ray" as is my father's middle name, but it was supposed to be spelled "Rhea" because Charity's father was John F. Rhea (b) Missouri and her mother was Elizabeth Green (b) 1858 TX.My brother and I both have Rhea as a middle name.
Do you have any information on the family tree that I could have?Anything would be greatly appreciated.It is interesting to note that Charity always said we were related to Mary Martin, who starred in South Pacific and her son Larry Hagerman of "Dallas" and "I Dream of Genie".Not sure how but Weatherford, TX keeps turning up.Charity was also married to "Bunts" and Gus Stockos.Gus ran a resturant in Delano, CA where I lived.When they separated, she moved to Bakersfield and he moved to NM.Charity had three children who are all deceased now: JoAnn, Jeri and Ernest Rhea who was my father.Charity's sister married Ed McFarland of San Antonio, TX.The museum in Breckenridge Park at San Antonio houses the McFarland jewels.Oh, I have a copy of Crandma Charity's birth certificate which shows the spelling "Charity Rhea" and confirms her father as John F. Rhea.
Thanks, Sonia
