Kelly, I do believe that we may have corresponded in the past. I also believe that at some point in time we will find a connection between our two lines. I have reason to believe that Wesley Whitfield Ratliff (b. 1844, d. 1930) might possibly be the brother of Jesse H. Ratliff and Samuel B. Ratliff. Both Jesse and Samuel were living in Lee County, Texas (1880 Census) near, who I believe may be their father, Thomas Ratliff (born in Tennessee). --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
