I have a Samuel Ratliff in my line and your Birth date for him would be about right if I have him figured in the line up correctly. He had a brother George, so possibly that would account for a son named George and there are James' in our family too, so the son Jim may have been named after an uncle?? I am guessing, but do tell me if you are able, his parents names? Or where Samuel was born, maybe? Check and see if you are able to find any reference to your Samuel ever having been in Oklahoma, say around 1908 - 1910 (+ or -).

You have the same names, Samuel and George, that are in my line of Ratcliffs who lived in Barnwell District, SC at that time. I have little to no information them and am in the process of collecting data. Where did your Ratcliffs originate? Frank Trowbridge
