Thank you, Harlene. This list has been wonderful with new information on the Ragsdales for me. Some of the Ragsdales I know and others are mysteries right now. I think that some of them belong to families in Union Co., etc. Many were making the trek from KY, TN, etc. to places in the midwest. But, all of those Ragsdales in the south are related.
