Kelly, Joshua (b.1825) and Marietta McCullough Ratliff had a daughter Fannie Ratliff who married Will Howeth. However, she was born about 1862. I also have a Frances, daughter of George (b.abt 1869 son of Joseph and Frances Harrell). Could it be either of these? Carollyn Guidry cmg239@aol.com

Carrollyn, my Great Uncle George did indeed have a daughter Frances, but I feel that this Fanny is born to early to be his.. since he would have only been about 8 or 9 when this Frances was born in 1878. Do you have any information on George's daughter Frances, though??? I would be interested. As for Will Howeth's wife, Fanny RATLIFF... yes, I think I have her in my notes correctly.. she is buried there in Mitchell's Bend Cemetery, isn't she? And do you know if Will had another wife, before Fanny? There is a C.E. (Elizabeth) Howeth, wife of W.T. Howeth and the dates are such that she could have been a first wife of Will's, do you know? Then Fanny the second..??? but the other Frances RATLIFF, the one born in 1878.. I wonder who she is? thanks, Kelly
