Frances Harrell, Florence, Williamson County, TX
Frances Harrell married Joseph Ratliff before 1859.
Her parents may have come from Louisana. I do not know
their names.Frances did have two brothers, Polk,whose
first name may have been James, the other brother was
Tom.I do not know if she had any other siblings.
Frances and Joseph Ratliff had the following children;
Louisa called Lu, born Jan 18, 1859
Mary
Lee
George
Sam, maybe Samuel, Samson or Sampson
Tom, maybe Thomas or Thompson
Andrew (andy)
Joseph, born Aug. 11th in one of the following years
1869, 1874, 1875, 1877
The reason for the many dates is that he left
home at the age of 11 years, started lieing
about his age as need arose.Because of this
we have not been able to accurately pin point
the date of Frances Harrell's death, his mother.
We know she died in Florence, Texas between 1877 to 1885. We
Think from my mother's memories of her fathers description, that
Frances died from Appendicitus.Joseph The husband re-married
and I can not retreive information about him leading me back
to Frances.Frances Harrell's family had a land grant given to
them by Mr. Austin.I would be happy to hear from any one who
may have even the smallest glimmer of information to get me
started.
