Yes, I have quite a few ancestors from Patrick CO. VA. :) I am new to the list and thought I would introduce myself and see who is connected. On the Ayers side I am descended from Irvin Ayers (ayres) who was born in Patrick co. around 1832 to Jane Ayres. Jane may or may not have been from South Carolina. Thats as far as any of us can get with the Ayers'. I am just beginning to start on the Ratliff's (Ratcliffe's) but I recently discovered I am descended from Ratliff's who moved from Patrick to Wythe Co. VA. Elias Ratliff and Susan Smart - who married in Patrick Co. in 1850. For the Shelton's I am descended from Azariah Shelton, son of William Shelton through Azariah and Jane Rogers Shelton's son George Franklin Shelton. George was born around 1846. He married Frances Chapman (chatman) in the late 1860s in Patrick Co. VA. She was the daughter of a Frances "Frankie" Chapman. I have lots of info on the Shelton's I am willing to share, but want to make a connection to learn more about the Chapman's. Finally, I don't know much about the Hubbard's/Stanley's. But I do know that a grandson of Irvin Ayres, Charlie Thomas Ayers, married Barbara Hubbard. Barbara was born 1889 and was the daughter of John Ellison Hubbard of Patrick Co. VA and Mary Burrell Stanley of Carrol Co. Mary's parents were Isom Stanley and Lucy Pendleton, lucy was from Patrick CO. VA. So, lots of names, but I was just wondering if I could make a connection!

Robert Ayers, I have quite a bit of information on Patrick Co Va families, but I did not have any connection to Elias Ratliff & Susan Smart. I looked up some census records and marriage records and here is what I found: Patrick Co VA Marriage Record: 20 Dec 1850 Elias Ratliff & Susan Jemima Smart. There was no record of parental permission, so she must have been 18 or misstated her age. Patrick Co VA Marriage Record: 26 Jun 1822: Benjamin Ratliff, son of Ralph Ratliff and Elizabeth Stickleman. Sur.Valentine Ratliff. Benjamin and Elizabeth could possibly be Elias' parents. There are twelve Ratliff marriages in Pat. Co VA. from 1791 to 1850. If you want the rest of them. I will send them. The two following Census Records are from 1850 Wythe Co VA, 68th Dist. Fam 315: Elias Ratliff 44, Eliza 19, Lefew (male) 16, Mary 14, Giles P. 13, Martha F. 11, Susan E. 8, all born in Virginia Fam 813 Polly Smart 52, Moses 20, Susan 18, David 12, Henry 10, all born in North Carolina. The following Census Record is from 1860 Wythe Co VA 68th Dist. Fam 1292: Elias Ratliff 57, Susan 25, Washington 10, James 7, Mary 4, Virginia age not stated, all born in Virginia. I also have records on the Hubbards and Pendletons, mostly Patrick Co VA. I do not have time to search them now, but will try to get back to you later. I hope some of ths helps.
