Hi Wanda,
I have just found your message on the message board section.
I would say that your G-Grandfather and my G=G=Grandfather were brothers.
My G-G-Grandfather was William T. Ragland born 1849 in Jackson County, Tennessee and died 1875 in Jackson County. He married Amanda Birdwell who was born in 1848 in Jackson County.William T. died at a young age and Amanda remarried in 1878.
While married to William T. they had a son John Curtis Ragland (in some books he is shown as James)but his name was John C. and a daughter born in 1872 named Feraby, (some in the family said she was a half sister to my G-Grandfather) but her last name was shown as Ragland.
I remember my G-Grandfather well John C. Ragland.
He passed away when I was 9 years old but I have never forgotten him. He was married to H. Della Owens B.1871and d.1937 in White Hous, Tennessee.
I have never heard of Flynn's Lick being mentioned before.
Where exactly is it located. My G-Grandfather and all generations since have been in Sumner County, Tennessee
the town of White House.
Children of John C. Ragland and Della Owens Ragland were:
Rosa Lee Ragland (my Grandmother) b.1892d.1991
John Wesley Ragland b.1901 d.1984
Russell Ragland (Jackson) b.unk
Mattie Ragland (Brown) b.1910 d.1984
William T. Ragland b.1905 d.1994
Savage T. Ragland b.1908 d.unk
Thruman H. Ragland b.1895 d.1969
Henry H. Ragland b.1891 d.1963
Mary Elizabeth Ragland b.1893 d.1940
Feraby Ragland b.unk d.1960's or 1970's
I have more info but not much time at the present.
Let me know about Flynn;s Lick.
Thank you,
