The inforamtion I have is that Jeneral Forest Ragland moved to Tx and married three times (Effie, Minnie Powell, and Emma Hopkins) Jenerafl Forest Ragland was born 1862 in Lafayette, Macon Co, TN and died 1931. He had 12 children from his different marriages. Effie and J.F had annie, Lulu, Ossie, Horace Newton, Lucy B, Sadie L, and Frances Lurie. J F Ragland and Minnie had one daughter, Maggie. Emma and J F had Nellie, Janice, Henry Everett, and Frances. Jeneral Forest Ragland' s parents were Jeneral McArthur Ragland and Fannie Frances who were both form TN. I do not have any recorde to show this, only papers passed down. Their other children included Samuel, John B, W M, and Lizzie M Ragland. Lizzie, I hear, had a daughter named Jessie May Shrum. If any of the information sounds familiar or you have any questions, I would glad to hear from you. Thanks Stephanie starglaze15@yahoo.com
