I answered at the time, but now I have the four names. George W. and Elizabeth Wilkinson Ritner J. & Elizabeth Smith James N. & Ann Wilson William T. & Clarissa Graham These families all settled south of Logan, Kansas. Three of the families stayed there as are my relatives. >> Oh I'm so excited to hear this. Ritner SMITH is the son of my 3rd great uncle John Axford SMITH who moved to Wayne County from Meigs Co Ohio in 1852. In 1870 census, Ritner and Elizabeth SMITH were living in Lamard Twp, near Geff (Jeffersonville). Ritner had a full sister Elizabeth born 1840, wonder if she is the wife of George W. Wilkinson? In 1904 Ritner was living in Phillipsburg Phillips Co Kansas. We have corresponded before, Jerilyn, but I don't remember the subject. Carolyn Remember, you have a friend in Oklahoma!
