Ratts born 1770, son of Godrey Ratts Sr. of Rowan Co., who married Barbara Winkler. A typed sheet in the Davie Co. library, prepared by Miss Flossie Martin from a notebook of Miss Mary J. Heitman, says that Henry and Barbara Winkler Ratts moved from Davidson Co. NC to Washington Co. IN in 1823. Children as entered here from this source, which cites a book on the Wiseman family by G.F. Wright of Salem, Indiana. Last Modified: 14 Sep 1997 Elizabeth Harris state coordinator, NCGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/
