In my posting to the inquiry of someone else, I gave him a lead that the "The Ancestory of James M. Rea" compiled by Lorna Borman, June 1989, contained a reference to the "History of Bedford, Somerset and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania by Waterman, Wathins and Co., 1884". It says that on page 350a there is a biorgraphy of Col. James Madera whose mother was Nancy Rea, the daughter of James Ray, a Scotman by descent, whose father, John Ray, first settled the town of Bedford.
Based on my research, I have no evidence to indicate that this Nancy Rea is of my line.Thank you for your inquiry.
