Neat to see Joseph's Ralston name here- do you know of any connection between the Ralston's & Knox family? any ideas why Alonzo & Margaret married there? This is a guess but was this Joseph -the son of Samuel & Martha's??? our Joseph Ralston in 1850 census #651 who was 59 farmer b. VA $4000 wife Mary (Morehead) no age b. in Ireland, (married 2-19-1812) Mary A & Sarah no ages both b. in Va & Margaret 22 b. VA, James 22 b. in VA A SHOEMAKER *also do you think James & Margaret could have been twins ? both 22 yrs old in this census? How was the family reunion? love to hear about it. Thanks, Kim Ralston Dresser
