He had 5 children with her: Lee, Marshall, Annie, Mary Uellan and Ella.

I am searching for a James Ratliff who married Elizabeth Hagar (date unknown) who had children in the Tazwell, VA area. Their children includes Nancy, Sally, William or Willard, and Walter. My grandmother is Nancy Ratliff Hall who married John Washington Hall. I do not know when she was born, but my grandfather was born in 1880. Any info would be appreciated.

Is there anyone who has traced the Ratliff family that lived in Richmond, Virginia in 1850. The James listed as one year old holds my interest. Please notify by this address if you have information. hmwh@aol.com

Hi Wes, Good job! Here's the US Military site for MOH winners, listing Edward Rat(c)liff Awarded 29 September 1864 http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/mohb.htm U.S. Army Center of Military History Full-text Listings of Medal of Honor Citations (see below) If you find anything, sure would love to hear about it. Perhaps we could do something for his grave. Barry Wetherington, Gs/o Ethel Ella (Ratliff) Wetherington --------------------------------- The President, in the name of Congress, has awarded more than 3,400 Medals of Honor to our nation's bravest Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen since the decoration's creation in 1861. For years, the citations highlighting these acts of bravery and heroism resided in dusty archives and only sporadically were printed. In 1973, the U.S. Senate ordered the citations compiled and printed as Committee on Veterans' Affairs, U.S. Senate, Medal of Honor Recipients: 1863-1973 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1973). This book was later updated and reprinted in 1979. The breakdown of these is a duplicate of that in the congressional compilation. Likewise, some minor misspelling and other errors are duplicated from the official government volume. These likely were the result of the original transcriptions. The following is an index of the full-text files by war. ---------------------------- Full-Text Citations Civil War (A-L) Civil War (M-Z) Indian War Campaigns Interim 1866-1870 1871 Korean Campaign Interim 1871-1898 War with Spain Philippine Insurrection China Relief Expedition (Boxer Rebellion) Interim 1901-1911 Action Against Outlaws--Philippines 1911 Mexican Campaign (Vera Cruz) Haiti 1915 Interim 1915-16 Dominican Campaign World War I Haiti Campaign 1919-1920 Second Nicaraguan Campaign Interim 1920-1940 World War II Black Medal of Honor Recipients World War II (A-F) World War II (G-L) World War II (M-S) World War II (T-Z) Korean War Vietnam (A-L) Vietnam (M-Z) Somalia Special Legislation Additional Information Medal of Honor Statistics A Brief History of the Medal of Honor DOD Medal of Honor Bibliography World War II Black Medal of Honor Recipients Asian-Pacific Americans Receive Medals of Honor =================================== Full-Text Citations Civil War (A-L) Civil War (M-Z) RATCLIFF, EDWARD Rank and organization: First Sergeant, Company C, 38th U.S. Colored Troops.

We are still trying to verify that this James was a brother to my grandfather. He may have been married to a Dora Young, Bessie McCoy and and unknown McClanahan. He could have had children: John, Emily, Ida Lou, and Harold/William Ratliff. Most of our family descendants didn't know James Franklin Ratliff existed. He was b 1887 in Morgan Co., KY and maybe m the first two wifes in Morgan/Menifee Co., KY His parents would be John William Ratliff and Lou Ellen Back from Morgan Co., KY Thanks for any help.
