I have located information and the grave sites of my great grandmother - Virginia Eliza Ragan Rector; my great great grandfather-Thomas Ragan; my great great great grandfather-John Ragan & his father Spencer Ragan who died in Morgan County, IL. (see below) I have nothing on Spencer's parents although I have always heard he was born in MD. I've been reading past postings, especially those linked to MD, with interest and I've been hoping to find a Ragan linked to a Spencer family. That's pure speculation but it seems that Spencer, also the given name of one of his grandsons, could be the name of a related family.

Spencer came to KY in the late 1790s. Does that fit with the timelines of the Spencer's in your Maddox family.
