Why Rea's Run?

I choose this name for my blog because of my family. William Rea came over from Ireland in 1805 and settled in South East Ohio on the bank of the Ohio River. Much of my extended family is still in this part of Ohio and there is a small stream that feeds into the Ohio river that is named "Rea's Run". There is a cemetary there where some of my ancestors were laid to rest. Just in Case anyone happens upon this blog and is looking for more information on the Rea family here is a website talking about William Rea and his children coming to America.
