Radcliff Family Genealogy Forum
  
I am trying to find anything out about my Radcliff family line. The first information that I have is that James Radcliff and his wife Rachel Walker settled in Jamaica in the late 1790 or early 1800. He was a physician, and died of yellow fever while in Jamaica. Rachel and their son James or John W. Radcliff came to the US in 1820's. It is my understanding that Rachel may have remarried and her son took the name of his stepfather until he reached adulthood and then took back the Radcliff name. I have information that indicates that in LeSeur Mn. he married Elizabeth Burly and had several children. He also married Harriet Kennedy and had several more. My line comes from Elizabeth. I cannot find any information that explains where in England they originated from, or what happened between Jamaica, Mn., and Kansas. My ggg grandmother Amanda Rinker Elliot had a daughter Clara Lucretia who married James William Radcliff of Dexter, Kansas. My grandfather Robert William Radcliff was said to have been born on the Cherokee Strip. Any information about any of this would be appreciated.
Thank You.
