Dear Den & Mari and all, I just sent my first message on this list. My second Ratcliffe line is closely associated with the first; I don't have the information that connects them, other than that the William Ratcliff previously named is a grandson of Anne Ratcliffe. Anne, birth date unknown, married William Harrison. He was born circa 1675 in York County, Virginia; died 1727. William and Anne had a son, William Harrison, born 1705 York County, Virginia; died 1771; married Margaret Maupin. Their daughter is the Elizabeth Harrison who married the William Ratcliff I named in the first Quaker line on 14 January 1764 in Goochland, Virginia.
