To Mike Ratliff, Yes, my Wm is the Wm Ratliff in Robert Ratliff's will. This Ratliff line took agreat deal of genealogical searching to document. I don't know Nancy"s maiden name but I know she remarried after Robert died and m. Frances Powell. I would love to have info about your Samuel Ratliff. I have a friend doing research on a Samuel Ratliff. WM., Samuel. Richard, & John are very popular names with the Ratliffs. I've researched more Wm. Ratliffs only to find they were not my line. Mike, please email me if you need my snail address. Ruth in Tex

Your William appears to be a brother of our Samuel, were his parents Robert and Nancy Ratliff of Lincolnton,Lincoln Co.Ga.?I show him listed in a will dated Dec. 18.1802 and later with brother James selling 50 acres along Soap Creek to his other brother Thomas in Oct 16.1807 after their father had died.I don't have much on him after that, this is one of the brothers we didn't know much about until i saw your note. Do you have any info on Robert or any of the other brothers Thomas,Richard,Samuel,James or Hezekiah?Let me know if you would like a copy of our line through Samuel.-regards-Mike Ratliff

Well - I didn't see your names in the index. The book I have concentrates on the early Virginia and North Carolina lines. However, it does take the line for Jabez Perkins into Knox County and Whitley County, Kentucky. That is my connection - Whitley County. You might want to check into this particular line - Jabez was in Kentucky by 1813. Some of his line was in Rockholds, Ky. also. Jan

Donna, In regard to Timothy and Eleanor Dixon Ratcliff: They were both born in North Carolina and both died in now Vinton Co., Ohio. Timothy was the son of John and Ruth Ward Ratcliff both of whom are buried in now Vinton Co., Ohio. The time frame for this family was the 1700's and 1800's. I was just hoping that someone out there might be researching Tim and Eleanor's children. Thanks, mr

I have a book on the descendants of Edward Perkins, immigrant to New Haven, Ct. before 1646. If you want me to look anyone up I would be glad to. I am researching a Susan Perkins who married into my Thomas line. I don't want to do lookups for too many people because my time is limited and the Perkins line is not one of my priorities right now. My Ratcliffe line is a top priority right now. But if you have someone, I will look them up. Jan Wilson Mason, Ohio

My earliest known Radcliffes were William, born about 1856, his wife Edna, born about 1858. They had three or four sons, two came to Canada with them. Jesse and Fred stayed in Alberta but their parents went back to where they came from, Wisconsin we think. I have them on the 1901 Alberta census and can't find any further mention of them. Any help is appreciated. Tracy Radcliffe

He too is descended from Edward and lives in Illinois. Edward's son Michael is said to have married Mary Ann Pruett 3 July 1845. Who is Eliz. McKinney? My information came from the Taulbee Page on the Internet and was confirmed by Jeff and one of his cousins in VA. Elizabeth's name sounds familiar; maybe we're talking about 2 different Michaels. Can you help me? Thanks, Gary Radcliffe
