Hello Mark and others. From the 1870 census (data from Judy Swan) it appears that Javon's wife was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Atchley who had a farm near Lebanon, MO. There are a few of us in this list who are trying to sereach the Ragan connection, but at least 2 are descended from this Atchley (Harlan and Sarah)... can you help them? Gordon Sloan.
