Hi Dawn,
Thanks for your inquiry. Curtis Ivey Kea was the son of Thomas and Leonore 'Lanie' Johnson Kea; my g-grandfather James was a brother of Curtis Ivey Kea.
I have been searching for evidence for several years now, to no avail, for a relationship between Thomas Kea and Robert Kea. Several researchers have suggested that Thomas was the son of Robert; I just can't find any forensic evidence!
If your are interested, my file is posted on
www.rootsweb.com. I will add your line if you wish.
Regards,
