Greetings, everyone! I'm back, and it appears so is Rootsweb. For those of you who are unaware of what the problem has been, Rootsweb went down on Friday, and they decided that this would be a good time to upgrade the system. The new one is supposed to be twice the speed of the old one. I was finally able to get into the list utilities this afternoon. Mari Listowner Ratliff-L

It was not my intent to give that impression. On the contrary, I am eager to learn of any documentable connection(s). I have been looking for information re this couple for about 2 years, and have seen nothing at all to connect them with other families of the period, thus my reference to this Richard as perhaps "unclaimed". --WebTV-Mail-759094201-777 Content-Disposition: Inline Content-Type: Message/RFC822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Received: from mailsorter-101.iap.bryant.webtv.net (mailsorter-101.iap.bryant.webtv.net [207.79.35.91]) by postoffice-172.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.5/po.gso.24Feb98) with ESMTP id VAA01511; Fri, 11 Sep 1998 21:35:01 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fp-1.rootsweb.com (fp-1.rootsweb.com [207.113.233.233]) by mailsorter-101.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/ms.graham.14Aug97) with ESMTP id VAA04600; Fri, 11 Sep 1998 21:34:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from [email protected]) by fp-1.rootsweb.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id VAA15114; Fri, 11 Sep 1998 21:33:52 -0700 (PDT) Resent-Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 21:33:52 -0700 (PDT) From: [email protected] X-WebTV-Signature: 1 ETAsAhR6qDpHDmdbF7mQ/XaclIjd4xl3MgIUaNKBa7pC9RoUX3GArbCBQWwGdZI= Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 22:33:47 -0600 (MDT) Old-To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit MIME-Version: 1.0 (WebTV) Subject: [RATLIFF-L] an unclaimed Richard?

Dee, I have the answer to your question but no more. I found him in the 1870 census. John Ratliff b. 1848 married Mary ?? b. 1850 Samuel L. age 1. But I don't know who John's parents were. In the 1870 census he is listed as being born in VA. All of my Ratliff's from Silas and Anne were born in KY. Also this John isn't living anywhere near my line and they are all living close together. In the 1880 census I can't find them. There in no John and Mary or Samuel listed. In 1900 Samuel shows up again. But no John and Mary. In 1910 it's the same as 1900. In 1920 Samuel is gone. This isn't much to go on but so far all I can find. I have several other places to look so I'll keep in touch as I find things out.

Appreciate a look-up of marriage of Ralph RATLIFF to Lora DILS, Pike Co., in 1903-1904. Thanks in advance. Lora

Marilee, His middle initial may be L. but I'm not for sure. He still would have been in Johnson Co. in the early 1900. He didn't move to Floyd Co. until 1904 or 1905. I don't know the names of any of his siblings. I wish I could give you more info, but this is all I have. Thanks, Tammy

An aftertought. Most of the Johnson Co. Ratliffs descended from Silas Ratliff and Anne Spradlin, my maiden name. I can't find this particular Samuel in my database but will see what I can come up with in my research materials.

Do you know if Samuel had a middle name. I can find him in the 1900 Johnson Co. census and he is living near Silas Ratliff that married somone named Lydia. It is a possibility that those 2 could be brohters. If they are then I have your answer. I haven't done extensive research on the Ratliff name but I'm beginning to. So maybe we can figure this out.

Donald Ratcliff's wonderful site is: http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Campus/1719/index.html Many longtime researchers are convinced that all Radcliff/Ratliffs (any spelling) are descended from the same family, thus related. Gary Radcliffe

Hello mainsleuth, I appreciate your sentiments regarding privacy I am unable to assist you for I have only one name: (my ggggrandmother) Elizabeth RATCLIFF (Ratliff,Ratley) born 1758 married 1782 Jonas BRADSHAW (born 1759 Cumberland Co Va) died after 1845 in Lincoln Co NC If you have this lady in your research, I would appreciate any clues to follow regarding parents. Respectfully, Dorothy Bradshaw from Tulsa

Descendants of Elijah Ratliff Could this possibly be the Ratliff that you are looking for? Rosemary CRAWFORD Kimble Generation No. 1 1. ELIJAH3 RATLIFF (THOMAS2, WILLIAM1)1 was born 1787 in Anson Co., NC, and died Bef. January 1865. He married NANCY JERNIGAN, daughter of SAMUEL JERNIGAM and RACHEL HEAD. Children of ELIJAH RATLIFF and NANCY JERNIGAN are: i. SUSAN4 RATLIFF, b. March 03, 1832, Anson Co., NC; d. December 23, 1893, Anson Co., NC; m. JOHN PERRY RATLIFF2, December 18, 1845. ii. PLEASANT RATLIFF. iii. SARAH RATLIFF, m. MILTON TERRY. iv. WILLIAM RATLIFF. v. WINFRED RATLIFF, b. Anson Co., NC; d. Prentiss Co., MS; m. (1) THOMAS SMITH; m. (2) THOMAS SMITH3,4,5, 1833. vi. JOHN RATLIFF. vii. FRANCES RATLIFF, m. JAMES B. CLARK. viii. HANRY RATLIFF. ix. ELIZABETH RATLIFF6, b. July 07, 1825; d. July 21, 1898, Anson Co., NC; m. ELI MARSHALL DIGGS7. x. THOMAS RATLIFF. xi.

[email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, September 08, 1998 1:43 PM Subject: [RATLIFF-L] old research, new researcher I have for about 2 years been researching a Ratliff family which others have researched for decades and who have now either died or retired, probably due to frustration with this effort. The subject family's earliest known appearance was in Anson County, NC, in the mid to late 1700's. It is not part of the vast Ratcliff group, also in NC in the period, which is represented on the net by Donald Ratcliff in his Ratcliff Family Tree web site. I have read all other Radcliffe, Ratcliff, Ratliff sites and have found nothing to which this family can be connected. Qeries on the various forums, both by surname and by region of the eastern seaboard, have produced nothing. I have spent countless hours in LDS and state genealogy libraries, all to no avail. I have written hundreds of letters and have received hundreds in return. I have obtained copies of every deed or other document which I know to be obtainable in NC and there is no clue as to where this family may have come from. (There is no "family memory" of its origins.) Should I quit? Can any of you offer me any suggestions about how to proceed - what I can do to produce results? A major problem, which, no doubt, all of you have experienced, is the commonality of names. In this Ratliff family are William, James, Elijah, Richard, Samuel, and so on - names duplicated in every other Ratliff family of the period. I hate the idea of expiring in my old age without ever having made a step back from where cousins, now deceased, left off twenty or thirty years ago. I pledge total privacy to anyone with whom I communicate. I will not use the name of any living person in any way except with prior written permission. I will not, under any circumstances, include in my records the names of your ancestors unless we agree that we share same, and I will give credit or attribution to the person or persons who did the research and provided the information. May I expect the same from you? I do this because of some very insensitive people who, I have recently discovered, appear to "stalk" families on the net in order to add, without notice or permission, names of remotely related persons to their vast databases. ==== RATLIFF Mailing List ==== If you'd like to search the List archives, please visit http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Type in Ratliff and go from there.
