Here is what i have on them: Eliza Hanover Thomas married a second time to a Joseph F. Ratliff and they had James K.P. Ratliff, Gilford (Gip) Ratliff, Josephine (Josie) Ratliff, and Bessie Ratliff, Eliza Hanover Ratliff (Tina), and W.H. Ratliff. They were married on Nov. 6, 1883 in Young Co. TX. Eliza Hanover Thomas died on Oct. 25, 1937 and is buried in Delhart, TX. Some of her grandkids are Arra Bellomy, Eva Bellomy, William Burgess Bellomy jr., Andy, Mary Jane, William, Johnnie all Risenhoover. I have Malinda Jane Thomas in my notes as having married 3 times. First to Bill Ross, then J.B. Wayne, and then George Thompson. I have the first marriage in Tenn. and the rest in TX. Is it true that Melinda was Eliza's sister? That would make them double cousins. Did you know that Eliza Hanover Thomas' parents are David Price Thomas and Talitha Isabel Ingram. He is buried in Young Co. also at Medlan( but I can't find his grave)! and she is buried outside of Burns Flat OK in Page cemetery. I have found someone else on the board who has a Hanover Ingram who I belive is Talitha's sister and she married a Ephraim Huffine. Their parents are supposed to be Garland Ingram and Hannah (Joanna?) Mays or Maiz. I am still trying to get a hold of her, hers goes back further than mine does. Anyway, we have a definite connection and I have more info. I saw Garrett in your surnames and there is a connection there also. Sally Bellomy married a Henry Lenoir and they had a Billye Joyce who married Amos Garrett. e-mail me Rachael [email protected]
