They are all buried in the cemetery in Killwaughter, and the family cottage is still there. Today we have 95 Rea families in Antrim. I do not recognize any familiar names as yet, but the (REA's on this page) come from the same township in Penn. as the GALLENTINE's. Marianne Kendelhardt GALLENTINE@prodigy.net asked this question: in 1588 AD the ships of the Spanish Armada wrecked on the Ulster Coast. These men spoke CATALONIC, and I am not sure of the spelling. I have been told that they had intermarried with Scottish planters living there and hence the name REA. But my great grandmother told me that the Reas were Scottish Irish from East Ulster, counties Antrim and Down. In the early part of the 17th century they had been given lands taken from the native Irish people and had driven them to the land west of Bann. The family were in the main, members of the non subscribing Unitarians. I should like to know about the Spanish ships and descendant names linked in with the Scottish if this is true.

Part of Linda Merle's answer: <snip> <REA is an ambiguous name. Most REAs are in Ulster, but, there were both Scottish origins for the name and indigenous Irish so it is very hard to tell unless you can trace them. There is also an English REA and it has been in Ulster attempting to civilize the Scots and Irish. A Yorkshire family settled in Derry and Donegal in Elizabethan times (Spanish Armada). Also from what I have been told, some believe if any Spanish soldiers made it ashore, it is likely they were beaten to death by the inhabitants, Gaelic speaking though they be. They were not known to being friendly to foreigners and were rather isolated. -- the myth of the Spanish Sailors lives on in Ireland, with no proof that I've encountered. see: Bell's "The Book of Ulster Surnames".

BACKGROUND ON THE REA FAMILY: The meaning of the name Rea could have come from ancient Greek mythology. In reading a book on '~Ancient Olympia" a description of some of the gods that were worshipped in Olympia mentions a god named Rea who was the mother of the other gods. The family crest displays a dragon's head. *Ancient Olympia, by Theodora G. Karaghiorga, Keeper of Antiquities, printed in Spain, page. 3. The following essay is from the book above and was written by Mr. A.D. White and will help to give a background for the Rea family. This was printed in the "Burgettstown Enterprise", page 2, on Wednesday, June 26, 1968:

FIRST FAMILIES Of the Cross Creek Country, The REA Family by A.D. White
The Reas of Cross Creek, another family of Scotch-Irish lineage, are descendants of Alexander REA, an Ulster refugee, and of his son, Col. Samuel REA, an officer in the American Revolutionary army. Col. REA, a native of New Jersey, lived most of his life in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where he owned a sizeable farm at Martin's Creek. His land comprised, in part, the grounds of the old Lower Mount Bethel graveyard at that place. In that old yard are buried Col. REA and his two wives: Ann McCRACKEN the mother of his children, and Rebecca NELSON. At least four of Col. Rea's children moved to and settled in Western Pennsylvania. The first to come was Sarah Rea LYLE, wife of Robert LYLE. They settled on a farm adjoining the grounds of the Mt. Prospect Church, in Mt. Pleasant Township, and they are buried in the old graveyard at that church. This couple had a numerous posterity in Western Pennsylvania and in many other parts of the United States. In 1788, William Rea came to western Pennsylvania and spent his first year here as a teacher in the vicinity of Mt. Pleasant, now Hickory. The following year he purchased from George MARQUIS the farm of 196 acres in Cross Creek Township, which was to become known and still continues as the REA Farm. At the same time, William REA's sister, Mary REA, and her husband, William McKIBBIN, came to the same area and took out a patent for a tract of land adjoining the farm purchased by William Rea. This is the land, just over the hill south of Rea Station, on which stands today two stone houses, one until recently the property of William Schafer family, and the other the home of John Milvet and family. In 1799, another sister of William REA, Mrs. Ann Rea SCOTT, wife of the Rev. George M. SCOTT, came with her husband to Mill Creek, in Beaver County, where he had been called as the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church at that place. This church Rev. SCOTT served until December, 1837. He and his wife lie buried in the Mill Creek Cemetery near that Church. Their son, the Rev. John W. Scott a well-known minister of the Presbyterian Church and a noted educator, was the father of Mrs. Caroline Scott HARRISON, first wife of President Benjamin HARRISON. Mrs. HARRISON was the First President-General of the Daughters of the American Revolution, an organization formed at Washington, D.C., while the Harrisons were occupants of the White House. The rest of this paper will be devoted to the family of William Rea, the brother who settled on the Rea Farm, in Cross Creek Township. Before leaving Northampton County, William Rea had taken for his life partner, Jane MASON, whose sister, Esther MASON, was the wife of Charles CAMPBELL, as mentioned in our article on the Campbell family. To William and Jane Mason Rea were born ten children, seven of whom survived to adulthood and who married and had families. These were: 1. William Mason Rea, who married Elizabeth CAMPBELL. They remained on the home farm in Cross Creek Township. 2. Ann Rea, who married David CAMPBELL. (They are the subjects of this book). 3. Elizabeth REA, who married George H. CAMPBELL. (These three marriages between the Rea and Campbell families were all mentioned in our previous article on the Campbells.) 4. Sarah Rea married the Rev. George Vincent, and they have numerous descendants including Warren L. Starrett, of Crafton, Pittsburgh, and Donald L. Vincent, of Salem, Ohio. 5. Rhoda Rea married Robert ALLISON (no further information). 6. Isabella Rea, married William BEATTY (no further information). Gen. 1: Isabel Rea - William BEATTY; Gen. 2: Samuel BEATTY - Eliza Jane GIBSON; Gen. 3: Finely Beatty - Beatrice Ethyl Lynch; Gen. 4: Harry V. Beatty - Catharine Hamilton; Gen. 5: Dorothy Beatty - Norman Posey; Gen. 6: Cheryl Posey - V. Rulon Hemingway. 7. Jane REA became the wife of Joseph McNARY. We shall speak of this family in a later article. William Rea, the father of this family, was a school-teacher and a farmer, and, in 1823, he was appointed to the office of Justice of the Peace for a district comprising the area of the five townships of Cross Creek, Hopewell, Independence, Jefferson and Mt. Pleasant. During the Whiskey Insurrection, in 1794, Mr. REA together with Aaron LYLE and Thomas PATTERSON, comprised a committee sent by the "insurrectionists" to meet the United States Army at Braddock's Field. This same committee later administered the oath of allegiance to 150 men at Cross Creek on September 11, 1794, following the "breaking" of the insurrection. During the years of his active life, Squire REA, as he was known far and wide, served well in Church and State. At his death in 1835, in a confused state of mind, he is reported by historian James Simpson to have asked: "Who am I? Where am I?" and "Where am I going?" William REA was not an "original" settler upon this land in Cross Creek Township in the strictest sense of the word. His farm was on a part of a tract of 400 acres. "The Seat of Justice," was patented to John Marshall in February, 1787. George MARQUIS, a cousin of the other Cross Creek MARQUISes, bought the 196-acre tract from John Marshall, but, according to records, he held possession for only about two years, then selling it to Mr. REA. To add to his farm, Mr. REA purchased an additional 80 acres from Joseph Reed to make his total holdings about 275 acres. As mentioned, Mr. REA's oldest son, William Mason REA, succeeded his father in the ownership and operation of this home farm. As his sons grew to manhood, he divided his farm among them, giving a tract of 93 acres, the north side of his farm, to his oldest son, John Campbell REA. This land remained in this family line until about a year ago, when it was sold by Wayne C. COOKE, a great-grandson of John C. REA. A tract of 60 acres plus was given to another son, Joseph Vincent REA, and a third part became the property of the third son, William REA, III. These last two tracts were later re-united when they came into the possession of the youngest son of the family, Charles Campbell REA, who purchased the interests of his two brothers, when Joseph V. REA settled in Mt. Pleasant Township. William REA, Ill, (Uncle Billy to the family and "Blind Billy" to the community). (Number 46 in the REA Family section.) The following poem was compiled for the first joint reunion of the Campbell and REA Families on June 27, 1913:

A TRIBUTE TO OUR CLAN by Joseph Rea McNary
This poem was sung to the tune of "My Country 'Tis of Thee"
Ye Sons of Samuel Rea "The Ulster Refugee
Here met this day! Descent of noble sire,
Tried by un-holy fire, -Subdue vindictive ire
We humbly pray.
Assembled from thy hills, Adorn the sparkling hills
Thy kin to greet.
In gratitude draw nigh Beneath the azure sky
With praise to God on high,
In friendship meet.
Approach with garlands bright To honor deeds of might
Thy fathers dealt. They stood for Truth and Right -Superstition put to flight
And won the gallant fight That despots felt.

Let Campbell, now and Rea, On this auspicious day,
Their voices raise;
A song of Triumph sing; Due honors to Him bring,
The great Almighty king, In grateful praise.
This day as brothers stand, True as a patriot band
In Freedom's cause. "Sweet Land of Liberty"
Won by thy ancestry,
From tyrants o'er the sea, For God's lust lews.
FAMILY REUNIONS
"Because of the close relationship existing between the Campbell and Rea families occasioned by the marriages of Charles Campbell and Esther Mason and of William Rea with Jane Mason in the earlier generation, and of three children of the Campbell Family with three of the Rea Family in the next generation, it was deemed appropriate in the year 1913 to hold a joint reunion at the Sugar Camp on the old Rea Home Farm at Rea Station. This occasion was memorialized by a small brochure arranged by Joseph R. McNary of Burgettstown, and published by the Enterprise. This contained a short history of the Rea Clan, including a sketch of the progenitor, Colonel Samuel Rea, and also a hymn, a tribute to "Our Clan" (above) from the pen of Joseph McNary. Since this writer is a descendant of the Rea Clan through Sarah Rea and Robert Lyle, he would like to see another Rea-Campbell reunion held in the near future. The descendants of Charles Campbell Rea do hold an annual reunion on July 4th of each year, usually meeting at the Cross Creek United Presbyterian Church."

TWO FIRST FAMILIES MEET IN REUNION by A.D. White
'It's always fair weather, when good people get together,' and so it was on Saturday, July 3, 1971, when members of two of the First Families of the Cross Creek Country got together for their first joint reunion in 58 years. The occasion was the Reunion of present generations of the Campbells and the Reas, pioneer families of Cross Creek Township and nearby neighborhoods. Their first and only joint reunion prior to this one on July 3 was held on the Charles M. Rea farm at Rea Station in southern Cross Creek Township on June 27, 1913. Although held so long ago, yet at least fifteen of those attending this latest reunion were among those present at the earlier affair. The Committee planning and carrying out this latest reunion were principally those who had attended in 1913. The Campbells, along with the Wells, Vances, Marquises, and Pattersons, came into Cross Creek Country in the 1770's. John Campbell settled on a tract of land in eastern Cross Creek Township on the farm, part of which is known now as the Serenity Farm, a home for alcoholics. The last member of the Campbell family to live on this farm was the late Walter M. CAMPBELL, who sold the farm in the 1930's. Ann Campbell and her husband, Andrew Ritchey, settled first in Chartiers Township near present Houston, but in 1796 they purchased, in Cross Creek Township, the farm still referred to as the "Ritchey Farm" lying just a mile ease of Cross Creek Village lying just a mile east of Cross Creek Village. William Campbell located on a farm adjoining that of his brother, John, but in Mt. Pleasant Township- the farm is presently owned and operated by the John Pollana Family. On a farm adjoining this tract on the northeast Charles Campbell made a permanent settlement, and this farm, in part, is now the property of Jay M. Walker. James Campbell's farm was in Smith Township near present Atlasburg. Joseph R. LYLE, a lineal descendant of James CAMPBELL, has his home on a part of this tract. As has been true of most of the First Families of the Cross Creek Country, many of their descendants remained in the Washington County "hive," and both families are well represented in Washington County and in other parts of western Pennsylvania today. But, as the streams of migration began flowing into areas of the mid-West in the early years of the 19th Century, many Campbells and Reas joined this movement; as a result, the names and the traditions of old Cross Creek became implanted in many sections of country from eastern Ohio into all parts of the Mid-West, and eventually, of course, of the Far West as well. One migration in which members of these two families took a significant part was "from Cross Creek to Crabapple," the latter a region in northern Belmont County, Ohio. Four of John Campbell's sons migrated to that area where settlements were made on land which has recently been extensively worked over by coal stripping operations. Campbell Ridge in that County was named for settlements made by the family. John and William LYLE and Ann Campbell Rea represented the Rea Family in the same migratory movement. All these folks became prominent in the organization and life of the Crabapple Church, which was largely composed of former members of the Old Cross Creek Church here." (The reunion was held at the old historic church at Cross Creek, which they felt was the most appropriate place for a "meeting of the clans" since it was the home church of their forebears for many generations and it is still attended by quite a number of the present members of these families. As they gather there "many precious memories will be recalled and many pleasant associations will be re-enacted among present members of the Campbell and Rea families.") "At the reunion members of these families assembled at Cross Creek and registered for the reunion, it was discovered that they had come from a wide expanse of country. Traveling the greatest distance was Mrs. Beverly Greenwell, of Anchorage, Alaska. The Far West was represented by Mrs. Belle Campbell Clark of Seattle, Washington; Mrs. Ivan Rea Spicer (author of REA-CAMPBELL book), of Eugene, Oregon; Mrs. Ellen P. Minor of Glendale, California; and Miss Susie White, of Albuquerque, New Mexico. From the mid-west came Mrs. Alice P. Perry of Plattsmouth, Nebraska; Mr. and Jrs. J. Alfred LYLE, of Davenport, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Mason Campbell, ~, of Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Mrs. Elizabeth P. Morrison, of Detroit, Michigan. From the "Deep South" were Mr. and Mrs. William Cagnon, of Jennings, Louisiana; and Mr. and Mrs. Anthony D'Annessa and daughters, Maria and Laura Lee, of Marietta, Georgia. The east was represented by Mrs. Rosannah Guilmette, of New York City; Mr. and Mrs. Norwood G. Wright, of East Brunswick; Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Niederhauser, of MoQrestown, New Jersey; and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Campbell, of Coatesville. The oldest persons present were found to be Mrs. Laura Lee, of Cross Creek, in her ninetieth year, and James A. McGugin, of Hickory, also approaching his ninetieth milestone. The youngest was 5-month old Michale Todd Downerd. At a formal program in the afternoon, presided over by C. Robert Keenan, organ music by Mrs. Jane McCreary Rankin preceded the speaking numbers. Rev. Edward DeLair announced a hymn and gave the invocation. Rev. John H. Galbreath spoke for the Rea Clan, emphasizing the heritage enjoyed by present generations of these families and of the responsibility to honor this heritage by meeting together as families and recalling our blessings. In speaking for the Campbell Clan, Robert H. Campbell, day editor of the Washington Observer-Reporter, traced his own family line, speaking with great appreciation of the contributions made ~y each of his forebears in the Campbell Family, two of whom had been farmers, one a minister of the Church, one an attorney-at-law and his own father a prominent businessman of Washington. The benediction was given by the Rev. Joseph Brownlee, of Cleveland, Ohio. A guided tour of the old graveyard closed the day's activities, but many of the persons present lingered as they continued visiting and seeking further information on their respective families, as they conferred with other branches of the two families. Co-Chairmen of the Reunion were Mrs. Myrtle Bowman, of Bridgeville, and Alvin D. White, of Hickory.
