Their children include Young Reagin and Edwin O. Reagin. Descendents settled in Alabama, Georgia & Texas.

As always, when going through hand written names, you see listings differently from the official transcript. Sometimes we imagine our names, sometimes we get it right. Anything is possible. On that note, I question 3 entries: In the 1800 SC census for Edgefield on page 162 I find a Jesse Ragin 3 x x 1 x 1 x x 1 x x.. So Jesse and his wife have 4 little ones under 10, 3 of whom are male and they are both 26-45. Who is this guy.anyone any proof? 1800 SC Abbeville p 40 has a Cristion Ragon 4 x x 1 x x 1 x 1 x x Anyone? The name actually looks like Razor, but so does my next question. 1800 Abbeville SC p. 19 Peter Ragon which looks like Peter Razor 2 1 x 1 x 1 1 x 1 x x. James, I suspect this is your Peter. I know that like me with Littleton, you stand looking back over the sea of the Rev seeking for a place to come from. What I did not appreciate is that you are sitting on my in-laws. The Lewis Gant on p. 19 and the 5 Gants on p. 15 are mine. They are nephews of Mary Gantt Riggins, wife of Littleton Riggins (Ragan in GA, TN, and sometimes SC) The Gants came down from NC ( Orange) And I smell Alamance. My guy had to be in NC in 1796 to marry. BUT, the only child of his who survives to inform the 1880 census ( AL) says he was born in SC. He was born in 1774. They are in GA( Greene) by 1799.maybe.he bought in 1799, but.they may not have actually moved in until her father died in Orange NC in1801. Her father , John Gant, has a young woman and a young child living with him in NC in the 1800 census. In MD's 1800 census is a young Littleton Riggin with 2 young kids and an old lady. It is possible these two are them. Mary may have taken the young girl and Littleton and his mom kept two others. I'm just throwing this speculation out there. We tend to frget other people's lines if they aren't ours. Please tell me about Peter, and I promise to listen closely.

Hi Michael, your message and that of Maryellen's is of interest to me. I have been trying to locate more information on the parents of my gg grandfather, James Ragan, and have butted my head against the proverbial brick wall many times! What little I know of my James is that he was born in Lancaster, SC, married Elizabeth Decker, is found on the 1840 census in Talbot Co., GA but not the 1850 census. They had at least eight children, Peter Fleming (born in SC), Simeon (or, Simon), Sarah Jane, Alfred Asa, Mary Elizabeth, W.L., Lucinda, and, J.C., all born in GA. There is always the possibility of others that we do not know about. Most of the issue left GA for TX and MS but Elizabeth (wife) died in GA. In your research have you seem any information concerning this family? Any ideas or suggestions? I have been in touch with a lot of Ragan (variant spellings) researchers and keep hoping that I can find one that either knows about this family or can suggest a site to search. I have relatively good records of most of the issue but would really love to uncover information on the parents of James. I have lots of data on the family (Decker) of his wife, Elizabeth but none of them have more than that she married James Ragan. Thanks for your time.

Perhaps you are the one to ask...PROVE to me that the Jonathan Ragen who dies in Oglethorpe/Washington GA in 1810/11 ( I'm going by memory here...always dangerous) comes from this Timothy... I'm not buying it. Seriously, I'm not getting this one. Is there proof I have not seen ?

Maryellen: No, I'm not the one to ask. My John Reagin ancester died about that time but I'm pretty sure he died in SC. I'm descended from his son Jesse through Jesse's son Young and Young's son Nicholas who went to Wilcox Co., Alabama abt 1840. I recall that some of Nicholas' siblings and cousins left in Abbeville Co., SC immigrated to southern GA in the 1850s but I don't have any other knowledge of GA Reagins. If your Jonathan was already in GA before 1810, he probably didn't come through Abbeville. If he is descended from Timothy, his line may have come from Newberry or skipped Newberry and came straight from MD or VA.
