Thanks so much for all this wonderful information. The 1880 census of "Raxdale" is my gr-grandparents. I do not know if this Joel is the son of the Joel Ragsdale listed in the 1850 census. Would sure like to find a connection. I believe the Thomas in this family is the one that married Nancy Escue. Frances ----- Original Message ----- From: "James R.
