    3. This is a follow-up to my Introduction to the RAGAN-ROOTS Mailing List query. I know very little about this Reagin family, but do have a little additional data that might help someone out there help me. Nancy Wiseman b.1802 in Newberry Co., SC. She married a Reagin (first name unknown) probably in about 1820. Their first son was born about 1821 in SC (this date is a correction). His name was West Reagin. My Wisemans left SC in about 1821 and moved to the southern part of Shelby Co., AL. On the 1830 Shelby Co, AL census, there is a John Ragins family living near the Wisemans. I do not know at this time for certain if this is Nancy Wiseman and her family. It may well be. If so, her husband was a John Ragins (sp.). Maybe that will help someone who has done alot of Reagin research help me tie into the Reagin line. The Wisemans moved to Oktebbiha Co, MS in 1833/34. On that MS county census in 1840, there is a Nancy Reagin household living near her Wiseman relatives which contained several children, but no apparent husband. Nancy would have been only in her late 30's at this time. On the 1850 census in that same MS county, there is no Nancy Reagin household. There is a West Reagin (age 29;b. in SC)household containing a wife, Elizabeth, age 28--only, no children. Still living near the Wisemans. My guess is that Nancy Reagin had probably remarried and had a new unknown name. I have no further record of this family. My best guess is that they went to Texas shortly after 1850. If anyone can shed any light on this Reagin family, I would greatly appreciate any help what so ever. Thanks. Bonnie
