I am new to the RAGAN list and hope that some of you can help me break down this "brick wall". I am seeking information about the family of my great, great, great grandmother Ann RAGAN (possibly Nancy Ann). She was the daughter of Nathan RAGAN (b. Aug 20, 1788) and Elizabeth (Unknown last name). She married William BARNHILL (1801-1844) on Aug 24, 1821 in Hickman County, TN. For this reason we had concentrated our search in Hickman County. Today I learned of a case in the Chancery Court of Dickson County, TN on October 20, 1846 which involved the will of Nathan RAGAN so I have altered the focus of my search. The will involved property on the East Side of Yellow Creek. The children of William BARNHILL and Ann RAGAN ended up in Hardin County, TN. We have been unable to locate the burial place of William and Ann but do know that the orphan children of William BARNHILL were mentioned in 1844 in the minutes of the Hardin County Court Clerk. I will appreciate any help. I look forward to hearing from you. I will gladly share what little information I have. Thanks! Lee Barnhill Cate Union City, TN
