Hello, I have some info that might help you. I am descended from the Silas who was the son of Robert Ratliff and Mary Touchstone. Your Silas was the son of his sister Francis who married Richard Ratliff son of Reuben who was Silas brother. Shadrack, Abednego and Meshack were the son of Richard and Lydia Ratliff. Richard was the son of Francis also. I will be glad to send you what I know and would love to know if we connect. I am terrible at sending things online and the information I have is rather long. If you would like contact me and maybe we can make arrangements for me to mail this to you. Linda Ratliff Miller: my line is Robert Ratliff Silace Ratliff Silas Ratliff Jr. John R. Ratliff James Floyd Ratliff George Thomas Ratliff Leslie Ratliff Ervine Ratliff Linda Ratliff Miller I noticed on your web site which I joined by the way yesterday that there are Belchers there. I also connect to the Belcher. Hopefully we can connect and help each other.
