Owen was born Jan.13,1837 and died Feb.13,1925. He and his sister Eliza are buried in a Wagener Cemetery in Aiken Co. He had another sister who married a Mr. Hand from NC.(don't know her name). There is an Aaron Radcliffe who gave Owen some property, but I don't know who he is. Owens parents are listed on his death certificate as George andJane Tyler Radcliffe. Does anyone know anything about these Radcliffes and where they came from? *********************************************************************** I can't help with you with these specific folks but you seem to possibly be related to the same Ratcliffe family as I am. My gggrandmother on my mother's side was named Lydia Ratcliffe and her father was supposedly Samuel Ratcliffe. Lydia married William Walker on December 31, 1799 in Barnwell Co. They lived in the Healing Springs community just north of Blackville. This same Walker family intermarried with the Holmans who lived in the Holman bridge community of Barnwell Co. so I'd be willing to bet that your Jane Holman was somehow related to Indiana Holman who married Nathaniel Jefferson Walker in about 1858 or the Elizabeth Holman who married Darling Cain, Jr. Nathaniel Jefferson Walker was Lydia Ratcliffe's son. I would like to share what little I have on this family with you in hope that between the two of us we might eventually unravel some of the mysteries which no doubt abound in this family.
