Cindy -- I have reviewed my other RAGLAND files, and did not find too much on Elizabeth's branch, but do have a bit of information on her mother. First, here is what I filed for Elizabeth...
Born ca 1822/23 in Allen Co, KY, she married 23 SEP 1847 William B TAYLOR (1824-unkn). I wonder if he md#2 Mrs Jane TAYLOR in 1871? Elizabeth died in 1866.
Elizabeth and William had the following children: Henry B, Catherine, Emily C, Richard, Joseph, Ruth, John, and Enoch.
1860 Census: Wm B (38 IL), Eliz (37 KY), H B (11 IL), Cath (8), Emily C (7), Richard (6), Jos (4), Ruth (1) - they lived in Perry Co, IL
1870 Census: Wm C (49 Ky), Hy (20), Richard (15), Jos (13), Ruth (11), John (8), Enoch (7), again at Perry Co.
I have speculated that Elizabeth's daughter, Catherine, may have married Aaron ETHERTON on 22 NOV 1868, following his discharge (10 JUN 1865) from the 80th Rgmt of the Union Army. At 1860, Aaron lived on the farm next to that of the RAGLAND's at age 17, bn KY. I did not find Aaron and Catherine in Perry Co, IL, at the 1870 Census
I have indices for the 1880 and 1900 Census of Perry Co, IL, but have not bothered continued research into this TAYLOR family. If you wish, I can do a few look-ups for you.
