He was born in the State of Arkansas and had lived in Texas for 67 years with a total of those in Ridge, Texas being 26 years. Occupation was farming. and he states that he served from 1862 until the end of the war. He was in Company E. but did not remember the number of the regiment. Cavalry. His witnesses with Affidavits were: J.R. Vestal and J.P. Holcomb JR. "Adolphis" Vestal (I wonder if his initials are J. A. then?) says he was 76 years old and lived 6 miles west of Brownwood, Brown County, Texas on the north side of Thrifty Road. He met Jobe in Hempstead County, Texas in April of 1862 where they were in the same company together. J.P. "Polk" Holcomb was 72 years old at that time of interview and lived 6 miles southwest of Brownwood, between the Upper and Lower Brady Roads. He had known Jobe from the fall of 1862 where they met in the Army. After Job's death his widow reapplied on Jan. 14, 1916. She was in Mills County, with post office as Gold, hum.. reading it.. Goldthwaite? someone help??? her pension was allowed on from the date Dec. 1, 1916 She states that she was married to Jobe M. RATLIFF on the 5th day of 1863 in Bell County, Texas.

Her witnesses with Affidavit were L.E. Patterson and F.M. Long The papers list that she S. F. (I believe this to be Susan Frances Meeks but not from these papers).. anyway.. tat she died on May 10th of 1924 in the town of Mullin, Mills county, Texas. She died in the home of her daughter.. Mrs. Margie Etheridge (if I am reading the writing correctly) and that statement was signed by J. W. RATLIFF, her son. The undertaker was J. H. Randolph & co. Of Mullin, Texas. She died of Apoplexy per Dr. R. H. Jones of Mullin, Texas.

(Thank you Carla!) Am sharing some pension paper high lights sent to me by my cousin. Joe RATLIFF (Joseph RATLIFF) Pension number 11797 Application Bell County, Texas and post office Nolanville, Tx. He was approved Sept. 25, 1906. He lists himself as being 70 years old as of Dec. 12, 1906. He resided in Bell County, Tx. living in the county with Nolanville as his P.O. for 6 years. He lists himself as not having an occupation, due to paralyzed legs. He mustered in May of 1862 and was disbanded in either May or June of 1865. He was in Gurley's Regiment, Cavalry. It also lists him as a widow. Physician statement given by Z.J. or Z.Z Cypert, Dr. from Belton, Texas on Aug. 15, 1906. Witnesses to his statements and affidavits were given by Gilford RATLIFF and Lee LAWLER . Gilford RATLIFF in his affidavit he places himself as being of Florence, Williamson County, Texas and that he was 78 years old. That he knew Joseph for 60 years, beginning in Crawford County, Arkansas. Lee LAWLER also of Florence, Williamson County, Texas. He lists himself as being 80 years old and knowing Joseph for 48 years, beginning in about 1858 in Florence, Tx. They all served in Gurley's Regiment.

My cousin sent me some Civil War pension papers, thank you Carla!!!, and I thought someone may be interested in some of the high lights. J.B. Ratliff J. B. is definitely Joshua Brock, per an enclosed letter in the Pension papers from his daughter, Miss Annie Bernice RATLIFF. Her letter was dated Oct. 29, 1940 from San Marcos, Texas. She states his full name as Joshua Brock RATLIFF, that he was in General DeBray's regiment, Cavalry during the Civil War and that he drew his pension up to 10 years prior to her writing this letter, which was a request for information so she could join the United Daughters of the Confederacy. These papers list him as deceased by Nov. 29, 1930 (pension number 35423) also list him as an applicant of Williamson County, Texas with post office as Liberty Hill, Texas. He was approved on Sept. 30, 1918 with his pension beginning Sept 1, 1918. IN his questionnaire, he lists his age as 83, as of Oct. 4, 1917 and being born in Springfield, Missouri. His occupation was that of Farmer until he became too old, but he states his physical condition is good for his age. He enlisted Sept. 18, 1861 and was discharged May 26, 1865, that he had served in Co. G. 26 Texas Cavalry under Capt. J.J. Myers (later Col. J.J. Myers) Witnesses to his statements were: W. W. Mullen and C. T. Russell, as well as J.L. Davis and L. F. Farrow.

George Nelson Ratliff died in a coal mining accident at the Fall River Mine, close to Roderfield, WV, on 9 Nov 1928. I would like to hear what you have learned about our mutual ancestors.

Hi Delane, We have corresponded before I think. Aren't you on our My Family Site? If not would you like to be. I have no idea?? So far we have been unable to connect Joseph to any parents. His birth date and place seem to vary according to the census records we have found later. Joseph and Sarah Barrentine Ratliff had the following children: William H., Margaret, George, James Pinkney, Greenberry, Martha and Joseph. All born in Miss. except Joseph b. Louisiana. My husband Jim descend from Joseph Ratliff and another marriage to Elizabeth Gibson, through their son Jesse Robert Ratliff. Have we exchanged generation reports on our Ratliff line. I do have further info down but nothing I can connect to before Joseph.

Because the Elijah Ratliff I have was born in August, 1836 and died Nov. 10, 1916, I tend to think it must be the same person as your wife's Alonzo Elijah Ratliff. The dates are uncanny. My records show, however, that Elijah was born in Goliad, TX and was a Citizen of the Republic of Texas (according to my mother-in-law, who has a picture of his gravestone in Llano). They also have a portrait of him and his wife, Lucinda Jane Willbern, in their living room. But he didn't marry Lucinda until Sept. 1, 1868, when he was about 32 years old. Elijah and Lucinda had 9 children, Walter Lee, Mae, Affie, Alfred, Nancy Jane, John D., Louella, Alonzo ("Lon"), and York. Because one of his children is named Alonzo makes me wonder again if there is a connection. > > If Elijah was the father of Calvin Taylor Ratliff, born 1855 when Elijah was about 19 years old, maybe he had a previous wife? I don't have anything about where he was before he married Lucinda, so he might have had another family in MS ... who knows? My in-laws don't know of any stories in the family about his being married to someone else. Any clue as to who Calvin's mother was or whether he had siblings? > > What are your thoughts?
