Interesting.. I only saw one Joseph Ragan on that list of Ragan's in NC where my Joseph said he was born. However, he wasn't born until 1806...but I am wondering if that might have been his father... I know it has been discussed that my Joseph Wesley Ragan might be related to Nathan Ragan, though and that would be a different county. Any thought's on this?
