Hello, All; I have just added the Legend of the S E Ragland's murders of 1866 on to the Family Legends, Tales and Yarn page , its url is <a href="http://www.rootsweb.com/~mslafaye/Tales.htm"> It can be found on the http://www.rootsweb.com/~mslafaye/ page under Family Legends, Tales and Yarns. A Descendant of Col. Samuel E. Ragland just contacted me and stated Col Sam Ragland was not killed , only his first wife was , he married again and had Samuel Evan Ragland Jr. , I will add her information to the bottom of the Legend tomorrow. Take a look. Blessings; Evie

Evie, Would you please give me the contact info for Col. Ragland's descendant that you spoke of below? I am still searching for the site of the old Washington Price plantation home and family cemetery. I have found a reference among the slave narratives at Ancestry.com that states that the Ragland incident took place at the old Price plantation. I am thinking that when Col. Ragland moved to Lafayette County between 1850 and 1860, he may have purchased some of the land from the Price estate and Colonel's descendant just may know where the old Price family cemetery is located. Thanks so much!
