The Ratliffs we are looking for were in Mississippi about 1842 to 1850. From there they went to Louisiana, Texas & Arkansas. Was hoping to found out who our Joseph Ratliff's parents or sibblings were. Wish we could help, we are having a difficult time with this Ratliff also. Good Luck and keep searching, one of these days they will all turn up!!
