John, I haven't done a lot with this line yet and the information I have is not confirmed. This is information from family only. Lettie Finn is my great grandmother. I have that Lettie Finn and Martha were sisters but Lettie's parents were Joseph Wesley Ragan and Sarah Rye. I do have that Joseph was first married to a Sally Turner. I have also been given information that Lettie was one of 12 siblings. Again, the only thing I can confirm is that Lettie's father was Joseph Wesley Ragan, she was born 15 Mar 1854 and died 2 Oct 1936. She is buried in Lunenburg Cemetery. She was married to Henry Clay Shannon in Lunenburg, Izard Co., AR. So it looks like we are related and now I am anxious to start digging into this line a little deeper. You've raised some questions I need to pursue. Bev > Bev, > I'm related to Martha Ragan. She was born in 1842 and married James Frederick Carter, who was born 7-7-1857. They are my gr-gr-grandparents. I have that her parents are Joseph Wesley Ragan (born 1806) and Rachel Turner. > Are we related? > John Haley > > > > >From: "Beverly Cooper" <[email protected]> > >Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2001 23:09:32 -0500 > >To: [email protected] > >Subject: Re: [ARSHARP] Where is Everyone > > > >John, > >Which Ragans are you related to?
