RALPH LAURIESTON or any surname sounding like that is who I am looking for. I do not have a birthdate or any other information about him other than the fact that he had a son, THOMAS born July 1847. When Thomas was married in March of 1868 Ralph was deceased. Would someone kindly check census, etc. for years between 1825 through 1868 for anything about Ralph? Thank you, Deborah in North Carolina, USA
