I'm not sure I can assist you Toni. Below is a message I wrote recently, involving a MD Ratliff family w/familiar (to me) sounding names, but not much response. IMHO, the best thing you can do to start, is Search and/or Browse in these Ratliff-L Archives for names, dates & places: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/r/ratliff.html http://newsarch.rootsweb.com/th/index/RATLIFF http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=RATLIFF Next, go to http://www.familysearch.com/. then WorldConnect.com. If no luck there, then go to Rootsweb.com and take their online Gen classes.

Hope Janet Reaves is still at that email address or on the Ratliff-L List & pops in for a discussion. We might have some things in common. Are those siblings of "Redden or Redding - 1730" familiar to you? Barry "Moses Ratcliff b 1730, Ratcliff's Choice, Talbot Co, Maryland m. Mary Sarah Farmer. Their Children: Redden or Redding, Aaron, Moses, Abraham, Benjamin, Shaham, Elam and Rebecca" ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1998 19:10:26 -0700 From: Reaves <djjnfl@gulf.net> To: RATLIFF-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [RATLIFF-L] MY ARKANSAS RATLIFFS By request, here's the best I can do with it at the moment. There's always hope :) I'll begin back with Richard Ratcliff who came from Lancashire England, since a lot of us can go back that far. Richard Ratcliff b. 1661, Chapel Hill, Rossendale, England m. Mary Caterne. Their children: James, John, Anthony, William and Jane John Ratcliff b 1694, St. Michael's Parish, Talbot Co, Maryland m. ? their children: Moses Moses Ratcliff b 1730, Ratcliff's Choice, Talbot Co, Maryland m. Mary Sarah Farmer. Their Children: Redden or Redding, Aaron, Moses, Abraham, Benjamin, Shaham, Elam and Rebecca Elam Ratliff b. 1781, Randolph, NC m. ? Their children: Zachaeus, Barbary, Irene, Mordica, Malinda, Obediah, Owen and Catherine. Zachaeus Ratliff b. 1824, Onslow, NC m. Margaret Martha Underwood (dau of Capt. James Underwood). Their children: Malissa, Elizabeth, James, Mary, Carney Strong, David G. and William Thomas. Zachaeus moved to Lawrence County, Arkansas, was a blacksmith and served as a blacksmith in the Civil War. James S. Ratliff b. 1852, Lawrence Co, Arkansas m. Emma Rebecca Justus (Dau of Stephen Justus). Their children: J. Bascum and Minnie J. Minnie J. Ratliff b. 1875, Lawrence Co, Arkansas m. J. H. Newton Park, a farmer and Justice of the Peace. This is the last of my line of the Ratliff's. There was at least one other Ratliff family in Lawrence County. I know Mordica, Zacheaus' brother, was there with his family as well and can look up the names of Mordica's children if anyone needs to know. I just discovered that I haven't input them into my genealogy program for some reason. Sounds like a project for a rainy day. Any cousins out there? -- Janet Reaves djjnfl@gulf.net ----- Original Message ----- From: W. F. RATLIFF To: Barry Wetherington Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 6:57 PM Subject: Ratliff families from maryland Dear Barry, Do you know of the Ratliff families which lived in Maryland in the 1700's . I have a William Ratliff who was born in 1763. He was living in West Virginia but am not certain where we came from or who his family is. I had someone tell me that there were 3 Ratliff families in Maryland in the early to mid 1700's. Perhaps you could shed some light on the subject for me. Thank you so much for your time. Toni Ratliff

Occasionally this trick works. Save the wpd onto a disk or zipdrive. Before you click ok to save see if there is not a down arrow that will let you convert to a jpeg or bitmap or even word document. Good Luck Kelly

There are two listings in the Index for marriages in Williamson County, Texas that make me wonder if they are not RATLIFFs, rather than GATLIFFs James W. who married an Elizabeth Turner in 1890 T. who married Effie, Garner in 1900. Now the reason I wonder about these supposed GATLIFFs being RATLIFFs is due to the maiden names of the brides. The name TURNER shows up in association with my lines of RATLIFFs: Joseph RATLIFF purchased property in Williamson County, Texas on Aug. 31, 1859 from a Winslow TURNER 1850 Census for Williamson County, Texas: for Guilford RATLIFF lists a Winslow TURNER, age 38 b. Missouri living in their household as a laborer. The name GARNER is associated with a Mrs. Ivy or Ivory RATLIFF who married a William Garner, in Williamson County, Texas in 1871 and I think possibly that Mrs. Ivy RATLiFF was Ivy Anderson who married J.M. RATLIFF. James is found frequently in the RATLIFF history, so a reasonable thought and the T. GATLIFF, well he may have been one of our Thompsons, or Toms.. maybe not too. Does anyone have a James W. RATLIFF marrying a TURNER or a T. RATLIFF marrying a GARNER in their lines. thanks, Kelly
There are some RATLIFFs who were married in Williamson County, Texas that I am trying to place in family lines. Has anyone heard of these RATLIFFs: Maud RATLIFF who married D. H. CLINKSCALES in 1895 Maud RATLIFF who married Hardy H. Holcomb in 1894 but the license was not executed. May RATLIFF who married T.A. DAVIDSON Eliza RATLIFF who married a Will FRAZIER in 1901 Ella RATLIFF who married Beverly GASTON in 1891 Ollie RATLIFF who married James N. LAWLESS in 1895 Ed J. RATLIFF married Laura YOCUM in 1889 Ola RATLIFF married I. D. SHEPHERD Mary RATLIFF married John A. STEWARD in 1894
