My earliest known Rathell ancestor was Abel Grace Rathell born in Baltimore, MD 20 March 1808 according to his tombstone in Odd Fellows Cemetery in Lexington, MS. We do not know if it was Baltimore City or County. We have found on Ancestry some Rathells back to 1600’s and around 1850’s to present, but none between who could be his parents. Is anyone researching a Rathell line that could include my A. G.? His children were named Frances Rebecca b. 1842, Mary b. c. 1845, James Arthur b. 1847 and my direct ancestor Zachary Taylor b. 1849. All children were born in MS according to censuses. His wife was Mary Connor/Cannon (can’t read death certificates well enough to tell) born 1822 VA. Possibly they married in MS or maybe VA and came to MS by 1842. Any help would be appreciated, and I can share many offspring with other researchers.
