Not off hand. I can't recall Charles Ragsdale's middle name at the moment but Anderson seems right. He was married to Cassandra Chrisler. They had a bunch of children and were all very healthy (lived into their 80's and 90's) and somewhat prolific, so it wouldn't surprise me if some of them ended up in the Northeastern Oklahoma area. -----Original Message----- From: Cecil Boyd [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 12:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MoRandolph] MADISON COUNTY, KENTUCKY TO MISSOURI Jane do you know if any of your Ragsdale family moved to the northeastern portion of Oklahoma?

That would be Charles Anderson Ragsdale, possibly named for his mother, Elizabeth Anderson. I have no idea who her father was but it's possible he was named for a maternal grandfather. The Ragsdale family did pretty well follow the traditional naming patterns in many of the branches of this family. There are a couple of excellent books out on this family from it's earliest years to the present day. One of them, the earliest one, was recently put online for free, and can be found with a lot of other great information on this family at the following site. http://www.ragsdalefamily.org/elijah/index2.html Eliza Ragsdale Lloyd, wife of William H. H. Loyd, was my direct ancestor. She's buried beside her husband in the Higbee Cemetery, but her grave is not marked. She was a distant cousin, 3rd of 4th I think of Charles Ragsdale. Benjamin Ragsdale, not sure whether it was Charles son Benjamin or the grandson, owned the land that one of the major mines in Randolph county in the Higbee area was built on. I suspect that was what brought my Eliza to the area. Her husband's farm had failed and he went into coal mining.
