BELCHER & Mahala Jane FORD 08 Mar 1860 by David RAGAINS >> I wonder if anyone could enlighten me about this David RAGAINS. I've been following the discussion about the people buried in the Bouldin Cemetery bacause I have some ancestors buried there. I was able to visit the cemetery a couple years ago and located a few FINNEY family graves there. They were my gg-grandparents. I assume this David RAGAINS performed a marriage for BELCHER & FORD. Does anyone know who David was?? I had a some RAGAN family that lived in Eddyville. My grandfather, Hubert L. RAGAN was born in Eddyville in 1897. His father was William Henry RAGAN (who married Grace A. FINNEY). William Henry's father was Isaiah RAGAN who is buried in Sulpher Springs Cemetery. I am *really* curious about David though and if/where he might fit into my family. Any help would be appreciated and I would be glad to share what I have on the FINNEY/RAGAN families. Michael W.
