Anne Burfort and John Ragland-Hanver Cty, VA
I am still searching for someone who can put together information tha I have on the Ragland Family and Anne Burfort.
The volume on the Ragland Family by Charles J. Ragland 1987
confirms the information that I have received from Lucille Payne. Miss Payne resourced her information from Wills in Louisa Cty, Va; Ragland=Overton Papers; Vestry book of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover Ct;etc., etc.CJ Ragland has reseached his *family for many years and it is considered the best of all the work on the Ragland family.
Evan Ragland 652-1717
John Ragland 1690-1751m. Anne Burfort
Samuel Ragland 1719-1797
John Raglandm. Ursula Terrill etc.
I have been told that the John Ragland Anne Burfort info may not be correct, for various reasons, not least of which the Burfort family name was used many times for prestige.
It seems evident however, that John Ragland and Anne Burfort were my husband's relatives.
I also have a crest of the Buford family with 4 quadrants, 3 fleur di lise opposite 3 lions, the quadrants repeated are the same. The Latin printed underneath the crest is;
Mutare Vel Timere Sperno.
Does anyone have further information on the family?
Looking forward to your response,
