This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Other surnames mentioned in the biography of WALTER STEVENS RATLIFF are: Ratliff, Radcliffe, Redcliffes, Frane, Fletcher, St. Charles, Kindley, Crawford, Corrie, Weymire, Comer WALTER STEVENS RATLIFF, farmer, insurance underwriter, and a man of affairs at Richmond, was born in that Indiana city April 24, 1860. His ancestors were among the earliest settlers of Eastern Indiana, and the records of his ancestry, preserved in detail, present many interesting characters, not only in Indiana but running back into Colonial times of American history and further back in England. The family name for many generations was spelled Radcliffe. The origin of the name is supposed to have been due to the fact that members of the family lived in the vicinity of Scarborough, England, where the head lands looking out on the North Sea are high red cliffs, and the dwellers thereabout were frequently referred to as Redcliffes, or, as the name came to be spelled and pronounced, Radcliffe. At Scarborough, Yorkshire, England, in 1620, was born James Radcliffe, son of Joseph. When he was about fourteen years of age his parents moved to Bristol. In 1665 he married a young Quaker lady whose given name was Mary, and a few years later he was elected a member of the British Parliament and moved to London. His oldest son, James Radcliffe II, was born at Bristol August 3, 1666, and was four years of age when his parents moved to London. His father was associated with Commodore Penn of the English navy, and naturally the sons of these two distinguished gentlemen became close friends. When James Radcliffe was seventeen years of age his parents gave their reluctant consent that he cross the Atlantic with William Penn, and after a voyage of fifty-eight days on the ship Welcome they arrived October 29, 1682. James Radcliffe was present at the famous treaty with the Indians made under the old elm tree in 1683 and had many associations with his good friend William Penn. He died at Middletown in 1752, at the age of eighty-six. His son, Joseph Radcliffe was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, September 17, 1720, son of James and Mary (Frane) Radcliffe. At the age of twenty-six he left home for a trip down the South Atlantic coast, and eventually concluded his 550-mile horseback journey at Elizabeth City, North Carolina. There he met, wooed and married a young Quakeress, Mary Fletcher, daughter of Ralph and Mary Fletcher. Mary Fletcher had informed her wooer that she could more willingly give her hand in marriage if the name Radcliffe could be more Americanized, for it appeared to her as too much English, being mindful of the many insults and persecutions inflicted on the Quakers by the petty government officials. Thus it was that the name Ratliff was adopted, a form of spelling and pronunciation which has been accepted by their descendants for almost two hundred years. Joseph and Mary were married March 13, 1747. Their fourth child, Cornelius Ratliff, was born near Elizabeth City December 2, 1756, and married, January 3, 1781, Elizabeth St. Charles, who was born at Elizabeth City July 26, 1759. Their son, Cornelius Ratliff, Jr., was born December 25, 1798, in Guilford County, North Carolina, the seat of the colony of Friends or Quakers in Western North Carolina. He married Mary Kindley, who was born at Waynesville, Ohio, May 15, 1802. In the year 1809 Cornelius Ratliff I, made a long trip from North Carolina to Indiana Territory on horse back and at times, when he tired of riding, would walk his horse, carrying his rifle in one hand and leading his horse by the other, and thus reached Wayne County, Indiana. He bought a quarter section of land north of Richmond at $1.25 an acre. After completing his purchase he returned to North Carolina by horseback. There he disposed of his estate, comprising 1,414 acres, in Guilford County, being paid for it $3,650, and this money, consisting of English severeigns, he brought back to Indiana in a stone jar, and which for protection he buried in a gopher hole, which he covered over with earth, this primitive hiding place serving as a bank for safety. He used some of his capital in the purchase of additional land until he owned a section, and part of this was developed by him. Much of the land was inherited by his son, Cornelius Ratliff II, later inherited by a grandson, Cornelius Ratliff III. The parents of Walter Stevens Ratliff were James Cornelius and Mary F. (Crawford) Ratliff. His father was born at Richmond, July 6, 1827, and his mother was born there August 26, 1832. They were married November 19, 1852, and then settled on a farm near Centerville. James Cornelius Ratliff graduated from the medical and dental departments of Western Reserve University at Cleveland, Ohio, and for two years practiced in Richmond. Then, with two other men, he started a plant for the manufacture of news print paper, also calendared paper and wrapping paper, and for power they built a dam on the Whitewater River known as the Thistlewait-Ratliff Dam. After three years he sold his holdings in the paper plant, returned to the farm near Centerville, but spent his last years at Richmond. He was a director of the Centerville National Bank and after moving the institution to Richmond he was associated with others in organizing the Union National Bank, of which he was vice president for many years. For thirteen years he was honored with the important educational post of trustee of Purdue University, and for eight years of the time was president of the board. He was also a trustee of Miami College at Wilmington, Ohio, and served two terms as a member of the Indiana General Assembly. During the Civil war he was enrolling officer and justice of the peace at Centerville. His life was made up of a round of useful duties and for a long time he was local crop reporter for the United States Department of Agriculture. He served in nearly every official capacity of the Hicksite-Friends Church, representing it at many yearly meetings. He was secretary of the Wayne Farmers Insurance Company, was president of the board of park commissioners of the Glenn Miller Park, and was president of the old National Highway through Wayne County. James Cornelius Ratliff died October 16, 1909. His wife, who passed away December 31, 1901, was a daughter of Daniel B. and Agnes (Corrie) Crawford, and there are some very interesting ancestral characters on this side of the family. Daniel B. Crawford came to Richmond in 1831. He had grown up in Baltimore, Maryland, with his uncle, Robert Crawford, a pork packer, and he learned that business. On starting west he traveled down the Ohio River and with companions went up the Kentucky River, selecting a place where they cut timber and assembled a raft. This raft was loaded with barrel staves, and they floated the cargo down the river. During a rise in the stream the boat ran on to a snag of tree, and all the occupants were dumped into the water, but without serious injury. They finally floated their cargo of staves to New Orleans, where both the staves and the timbers of the raft were sold, and he started back home by sailing vessel across the Gulf of Mexico and up the Atlantic Coast. At Richmond Daniel B. Crawford was connected with pork packing for a number of years, and he experienced the ups and downs of the market changes. Once he sent a cargo of pork to Cincinnati, and the market slumped so that he lost his farm, but later another venture in the pork business at the same market brought him sufficient profit to recover his farm. He was one of the early directors of the First National Bank of Richmond and was a devout Methodist, being superintendent of the Sunday School for twenty years. During the fifteen years he was in the pork business he was associated with the firm Venneman, Reid & Company at Richmond. Walter S. Ratliff’s grandmother Ratliff was a granddaughter of John Rudolph Weymire, who served as a bodyguard to the King of Prussia, being of the type of manhood selected by the King for that purpose. He stood six feet, two inches high, and weighed 225 pounds. About 1750 he immigrated to America, settling in Guilford County, North Carolina. There is now a record of 18,000 of his descendants who have been found in every state of the United States. Walter Stevens Ratliff, who is the acknowledged historian of the Ratliff family, showed an aptitude for learning at an early age. Before he was four years of age he was through the first reader of the district township school, and on the last day of school drew from memory upon the blackboard a map of the continent of Europe. When he was thirteen years of age the family moved to a farm at the northwest corner of the City of Richmond. The following year at a public writing school he took the prize as the best penman, the prize being a scholarship at the Richmond Business College. During the years of his youth he helped his father with the livestock, worked as a section hand on the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad, later became a brakeman, then a fireman. In September, 1879, he entered Purdue University and on June 3, 1883, graduated with the honors of his class and the degrees Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Science in agriculture. These scholastic honors he won though he had largely supported himself while in school by manual and skilled labor and by assisting members of the regular faculty in instruction. Subsequently he completed a two-year course at Earlham College for the Master of Science degree in forestry, ornithology and bacteriology, and subsequently did post-graduate work in forestry, entomology and botany at the University of California. During the World war Mr. Ratliff was member of the inspection board in connection with the United States army, was statistician of Wayne County, Indiana, reporting directly to the United States Department of Agriculture, and for a number of years lectured at farmers’ institutes and federations throughout the states of Ohio and Indiana. He is a member of the Indiana Academy of Science, has been vice president of the Indiana Audubon Society, is a member of the National Audubon society, member of the National Geodetic Society of Philadelphia, for twenty-five years was secretary of the Wayne County Agricultural and Horticultural Society; twelve years secretary of the Old Settlers Picnic Association; member of the Wayne County Historical Society, vice president of the Indiana Horticultural Society, and is a member of many Masonic bodies and other fraternal organizations. For many years Mr. Ratliff has been an outstanding authority as a horticulturist, entomologist and biologist. For the Division of Pomology at Washington he furnished fruits and grains for the International Exposition at Paris in 1900. He was horticulturist for the Indiana State Fair for several consecutive fairs at Indianapolis and was superintendent of the Indiana Fruit Exhibit at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. He has made annual reports of the habits and migrations of native birds, and has the largest self-prepared collection of taxidermies mounted specimens in Indiana. As a naturalist he has delivered many courses of lectures and addresses on ornithology, entomology, botany, forestry and meteorology. His literary-scientific work includes many contributions to magazines and agricultural periodicals. He was agricultural editor for the Richmond Sun-Telegram, wrote a “Reminiscent and Historical History of Pioneer Families” of the Whitewater Valley, assisted in writing and compiling data for the two volumes of Memoirs of Wayne County and the City of Richmond, and wrote The War History of his son, Sergeant Verlin C. Ratliff. Among other noteworthy phases of his versatile career he was civil engineer of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad on the Indiana Division and also on the Louisville Division. He was superintendent of the Wayne County Turnpike Company while his father served as president and treasurer of the company. Mr. Ratliff in recent years has been writing insurance at Richmond. As an officer of the Wayne County Circuit Court he served as executive, commissioner, trustee and administrator in the settlement of estates and as guardian of insane wards and minor children. He comes of a Republican family and has served through three sessions of the General Assembly of Indiana, and later was defeated by a small margin for the State Senate. He is the present county assessor of Wayne County. Mr. Ratliff married, November 12, 1885, Mary Etta Comer. They had one child, Sergeant Verlin Comer Ratliff, born March 14, 1895.

I am tracking my ancestor, Joseph Manning ROBINSON, b. Buncombe Co, NC, 1839, m. Veronica G. McLean, 1859, d.? , probably n Swain Co, NC. He was the son of George and Mary Deaver Robinson. I am trying to determine: 1. When he died. 2. Who his children were. 3. If he is the same Joseph M. Robinson who served as Pvt, Co D, 64th NC, CSA. If so, what was his service record. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello all, You may, or may not, be aware that there's a POE Surname DNA Project was recently started... and it is open to any spelling, any ethnicity. My husband's POE, was originally PFAU, and migrated from MD to OH, and then... points westward. This is of the GERMAN-SWISS lineage. George Jacob PFAU, immigrated to the American Colonies... circa 1700. Unfortunately we're not able to help with this, due to having been .........'daughtered out', but maybe you know of someone? Here's hoping you know of someone that carries any of the following spellings: PFAU, PO, POE, and POWELL Good luck to all... in the famly research you're diggin' up, Lisa Grimes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ POE DNA UPDATE FOLLOWS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SEND ALL COMMENTS and REPLIES TO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~wpoe@mindspring.com [mailto:wpoe@mindspring.com] ~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Good day everyone. I was on ebay and there is a gentleman from Greenboro, NC selling a few lots of 100+ pictures for 12.99, along with some smaller lots. I have emailed the seller to see if they photos are actually from NC, but if anyone is interested, here is the URL: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=don8371%4 0aol.com&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 They look like a bunch of family personal photographs along with some cabinet photos and so forth. Hope this can help someoneout! Thanks!

I am new to this group, as I have recently learned that Thomas GRANT and his two brothers came to the US from Scotland about 1778-1785. He was bound out to a farmer in Kentucky as a boy to learn farming. According to the tidbit of information, one brother settled in Maine, one in Pennsylvania and one in Ohio. I suspect the one who settled in Ohio may have been Thomas. If, so, he may have been orphaned, and the family who took him in must have lived in Kentucky. We know that Thomas settled in Maury County, TN, which became Marshall County in 1836, and acquired property in the county as early as 1822. Thomas GRANT married Sarah Glover and lived in the county all his life. He died in Marshall County, TN in late 1838, without a Will; thus, his estate was handled through the courts from 1839-1841. Another version of history, which conflicts with the aforementioned data, I also recently received came from the Rutherford County, NC Wills for 1784-1833, Vol. 1, Page 85. The Will of William Grant conveyed to his wife, Mary, all of his Estate, both real and personal, including the rent arising from lotts and houses in Rutherfordton, for the support of their son, Archible, an afflicted son. And, upon her death, the land to become the property of son Thomas GRANT and his heirs forever. And, daughter, Clemy was to live with mother on land, unless they could not agree, in which to build her a house for herself. It goes on to state that other property to be divided equally, after the death of his wife, between Alexander GRANT, Andrew GRANT, Thomas GRANT, Archible GRANT and Clemy GRANT and their heirs forever. Signed January Term 1795. I have no idea if the latter reference has anything to do with the Thomas Grant I am seeking. I would appreciate any help from anyone who might have done research on my Thomas GRANT or his brothers.

Lisa: I am not researching these names but I do have several books of taxpayers, will indices, etc. that I'll be glad to check. These surnames all appear in them in various counties. If you give me some first names to go along with the variants, I'll be glad to check. Craven Co., btw, was formed in 1705 as the Archdale Precinct of Bath County and became Craven Co. about 1712. A 'blurb' I have on Bath Co. reads: "Formed in 1696 from the territory south of Albermarle Sound...consisted initially of Archdale (Craven), Pamptecough (Beaufort), and Wickham (Hyde) precincts...discontinued in 1739 when precincts were renamed counties...some indication that there was a county court for Bath, but its records descended to Beaufort County...the county seat of Bath Co." I'm in Dare Co. and some of the spellings are with us today in local families. Dare was formed from Hyde, and well, you see how it's all connected! :) An interesting note is that in 2001 there was a book written chronicling graveyards of Dare Co., NC - the two authors include their names and encourage contact with info., orders or questions, etc. One of the authors is: Amy Midgett Gamiel, 1681 Colington Rd., Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948.

Good morning all, I was wondering if there is anyone on this list researching in Craven Co.??? I'm trying to follow-up on GAMBLE, GAMMILL which are variations of the surname.... CAMPBELL, and BALANTINE, which is a variant of the surname BELINDEN, BELLENDEN, VALENTINE. I found recorded documents that list these variants, in the same county together, pre-1800. In all my years of research, this is the very first time I've found both those names, recorded as living in the same area. I'm hoping that I can find a researcher that's also looking into one, or both, of these names. I'm trying to breakthru a brickwall. Looking forward to sharing data, Lisa Grimes KCKS@gorge.net

Newsgroup Announcement: For those of you who are familiar with the USENET binary newsgroups, there is a new one for genealogy researchers. The name of the newsgroup is: alt.binaries.e-book.genealogy Shortly, there will be a corresponding "discussion" group for the new newsgroup: alt.binaries.e-book.genealogy.d NEWSGROUP PURPOSE: The purpose of the new newsgroup (alt.binaries.e-book.genealogy) is to provide a place to share scanned genealogy books, genealogy books from CD and other printed genealogical materials. This is where you may find and share those old, out of print or never published materials and unidentified photos, which people have stuck in their closets. :-) This newsgroup will be of greatest interest to those who are already familiar with USENET and newsgroups, specifically binary newsgroups. If you don't know about newsgroups, and the huge amount of genealogical info that flows freely across USENET each day, then please ask one of your computer literate friends to explain how to access newsgroups (sometimes relanguaged to the term "discussion groups"). List Admin: If I have accidentally sent this to a list where I'm no longer a member, will you please post it to the group for me?? Note: This is NOT spam. I'm making an announcement about a free newsgroup. As anyone familiar w/ USENET knows, there is no profit in this at all. My only interest is -- I want more people to subscribe, because more group members will mean more information is being shared (some might help with my brickwalls). :-)

All these are freely available, as are the message boards at RootsWeb/Ancestry for counties and surnames.

This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Other surnames mentioned in the biography of ETTA CHARLES are: Charles, Hill, Saint, Anderson, Newby, Nixon, Arnold, Pritchard, Smith, Hunnicut, Symonds, Bundy, White, Morris, Jackson, Puckett, Holt, Taylor, ETTA Charles, M. D., has had a professional career that places her among the distinguished women in the field of medicine in Indiana. She had a number of years experience in general practice, but now limits her work almost entirely to anesthesia and is anesthetist at St. John’s Hospital of the City of Anderson, one of the leading institutions in this section of the state. Doctor Charles was born in a log house on a farm near Jonesboro, Grant County, Indiana. Her ancestors were of the sterling Quaker stock that had such a prominent part in the settlement and development of Eastern Indiana. Many of the ancestral lines run back into the early days of the Colonial period. Most of her ancestors came to Indiana from the Carolinas. A genealogy of the Charles family in America begins with Samuel Charles, who was a native of Yorkshire, England, and came to America in Colonial times and settled in North Carolina. Dr. Etta Charles is a daughter of Dr. Henry Charles, who was born on a farm, now included in the City of Richmond, Indiana, August 9, 1822, and died July 17, 1884. He was a son of Samuel and Sarah (Hill) Charles and a grandson of Samuel and Gulielma (Saint) Charles, and great great grandson of Samuel and Abigail (Anderson) Charles. Gulielma Saint was a daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Newby) Saint Abigail Anderson was a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Nixon) Anderson and a granddaughter of John and Jane (Arnold) Anderson. Sarah Hill, the paternal grandmother of Dr. Etta Charles, was a daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Pritchard) Hill, granddaughter of William and Sarah (Smith) Hill, and great-granddaughter of Aaron and Margaret (Hunnicut) Hill. Sarah Smith was a daughter of John Smith. Sarah Pritchard was a daughter of Matthew and Sarah (Symonds) Pritchard. Sarah Symonds was a daughter of Thomas and Ann (Bundy) Symonds, and granddaughter of John and Demaris (White) Symonds, and great-grand-daughter of Thomas and Rebecca (White) Symonds. Demaris White was a daughter of Henry and Demaris White. Ann Bundy was a daughter of Caleb and Jane (Morris) Bundy. All of these names are honored ones in early Indiana and Carolina records. Samuel Charles came to Eastern Indiana at a time when it was possible to secure Government land at prices averaging $1.25 an acre. The land he secured and made into a farm has since been incorporated into the City of Richmond and part of it is now the Glenn Miller Park. On his farm he built one of the early brick houses and was a man of substantial prosperity and fine character. He and his wife lived there until they died at a good old age. Dr. Henry Charles attended rural schools and was a student at the Carey Academy at Cincinnati, a school taught by the brother of America’s best-loved poetesses, Phoebe and Alice Carey. After returning to Wayne County he taught school, and began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. William Lomax at Marion. In 1872 he was graduated from the Indiana Medical College and began his practice in Grant County, locating in the country near Jonesboro. He was a fine type of the old time country physician, and his practice extended for miles in all directions. He rode horseback, carrying his medicine in a saddlebag. He continued the heavy work of his professional routine until his death. He was honored with the office of president of the Grant County Medical Society. He was a birthright Quaker and he reared his own children in that faith. Dr. Henry Charles married Olive Ann Jackson, who was born in Wayne County, daughter of Elijah and Anna (Puckett) Jackson, Anna Puckett being a daughter of Isom and Elizabeth (Holt) Puckett. Isom Puckett was a son of Thomas and Mary (Taylor) Puckett, and Thomas Puckett was a son of Isom and Martha Puckett. Mary Taylor was a daughter of Daniel and Betsy Taylor. The Jacksons, Pucketts, Taylors, as well as the Charles Newby families, were all from North Carolina, coming from Randolph County, a seat of the Quaker colonies in that state, and were pioneers of Wayne County, Indiana. Dr. Henry Charles and wife had a large family of children: Sarah Ann, Samuel Rhoades, John H., William H., Nina J., Mary Alice, Henrietta (always known as Etta, the subject of this sketch), Olive Ann, Laura Ellen and Gulielma. Dr. Etta Charles’ twin sister, Olive Ann, is also a physician and is practicing in Paragould, Arkansas. Dr. Etta Charles attended public schools, completing her early education at Fairmount. She felt a serious call to a professional career and determined that her life work should be the practice of medicine. She began the study in the Woman’s Medical College at St. Louis, where she was graduated with the M.D. degree. She first practiced at Summitville in Madison County, Indiana, and the success she had there caused her to seek a larger field and in 1918 she removed to Anderson. Here she carried on a general practice for several years, after which she specialized in anesthesia, completing her special training in the famous Lakeside Hospital at Cleveland, Ohio. For the past ten years she has been in charge of anesthesia and the chief anesthetist at St. John’s Hospital in Anderson and is a member of the teaching staff. Doctor Charles has taken post graduate work in general medicine at the Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital, Chicago, has also done a great deal of special laboratory investigation, and has completed courses in physical diagnosis of heart and lungs in the New York Post Graduate Medical School. That she enjoys a very high place in her profession is proved by the fact that the Madison County Society elected her to the offices of secretary and president. She is a member of the Indiana State and American Medical Associations, the International Anesthesia Research Society. Doctor Charles is a woman of thorough culture and many interests outside her chosen line of work.

Without knowing what type of software was used to create the original, it makes it kind of tough to suggest something. Is it a .pdf file (Adobe)? Sometimes, you might be able to "append" something to an original document, but if it's on a CD, I kind of doubt you can do anything to it. Plus, if the file size is in the 10-20 megabyte size, and you don't have a CD-writer, it's probably not worth it.

July 18, 2003 Re: Who the Heck are You Hudson Family Reunion Dear Family, We are trying to plan a family reunion for June 24th - 26th, 2004. The process is still in its rudimentary form as we need a complete list of relatives of Carrie and William Hudson. We thought it would be fun to have the reunion in Harriman, Tennessee, the origin of their branch of the family. A letter is being sent to all of their grandchildren as well as nieces and nephews for whom we have addresses. To aid us in contacting people, please send us the names and addresses of any family you can think of as quickly as possible. We are hoping by planning this a year in advance people can ask off from work to attend and we can reserve hotel rooms and a picnic site in Harriman. We would like to start the reunion on Thursday for those who are able to come early. There are many fun activities in the Smokey Mountain area. The reunion would culminate with a large family picnic in Harriman at the Roane County State Park on Saturday, June 26th (a minimal fee will be charged per person to cover food, beverages etc.) . We can begin reserving rooms as early as late September, early October so please contact: Joreen Hudson Henry, granddaughter, & George Henry GHenry01@earthlink.net If you don't know if you are related, hope you are related or just want to check, I'll send a list of known relatives upon request. If you know you are related, please indicate how in your response. Finally, please pass this to everyone you know who qualifies. Thank you! P.S. We are novices at this whole thing so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Reunion Information 1. I am: ____ interested ____ not interested in attending the Hudson family reunion. 2. Name(s): ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ 3.
