Ratcliff & Abigail Lofton with all the dates & places plus on the above. Any help would be great! Pauline sigmar@gate.net

Pauline, It seems that we are researching the same Ratcliff line. The only information I have is on, John Ratcliff born June 21, 1819 in Amite Co., MS, died January 21, 1883, place unknown, married date and place unknown to Abigail Lofton. I do not have any information on Abigail or their children. I have the Ratcliff line back to Richard Ratcliff born in September 27, 1614 in Chapel Hill, Lancashire, England and Alice Rawsthorne born in England. My line goes: 1. Richard and Alice Rawsthorne Ratcliff 2. Richard and Mary Caterne Ratcliff 3. Samuel and Rachel Warner Ratcliff 4. James and Rachel Ratcliff Goodson 5. Benjamin and Emily Dorothy Mills Goodson 6. John Edward, II and Casandre Goodson Dove 7. Howell Columbus and Amanda Catherine Moody Dove 8. Robert Mansfield and Ethel Palestine Neal Dove 9. Otis Henry and Mamie Lee Neal Payne 10. Hazel Genevieve Payne LeBlanc --- that's me ! ! I would be very interested in exchanging information with you. I don't know if you would be interested but there will be a reunion in Hineston, Rapides Parish, LA on April 7th that I am planning on attending. It is being given by the descendants of Andrew Jackson and Sophronia Alice Dove Gray. Sophronia was the daughter of # 6 and the sister of # 7, my great grandfather. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. The roots of our family tree were planted deep in American soil. The trunk of the tree grew strong and it has many, many branches. Some branches are still bare and need your information. I will gladly exchange genealogy information with others. Please do not send me jokes, hoax warnings, chain letters, etc. My time on the computer is very limited.
