The siblings of James and Richard Ratcliff were: Agnes, who married James Rishton, William, born 1643-died 1645, John, born 1646 and died 1650, Isabella, who married Abraham Hayworth, Alice born c1649, another John, born 1657 and died 1735 Haslingden, Lancashire, England, and Susan, born 1663 and died 1664.They were all from Chapel Hill, Rossendale, Lancashire,England.Only James and Richard came to the USA.You can find a Ratcliff genealogy at http://don.ratcliff.net/treehttp://don.ratcliff.net/tree. This genealogy has been well researched. There is also a genealogy out on the web that says our Richard Ratcliff descended from a James Ratcliff whom they state is the son of Henry Ratcliffe, 4th Earl of Sussex and Honor Pound, but I have done quite a search and can't find that Henry had any sons other than the Robert as listed on stirnet. If Henry did have a son named James then the lines both go back to James Radclyffe of the Tower(d 1410) and Joan Tempest but ours is through their son Richard Radclyffe and Cecilia Ashton while the other line isback through their other son, Sir John Ratcliffe(the good) of Attleborough(died 1440) who married Cecilia Mortimer.Our line was Quaker as soon as the Society of Friends started.
The address for Stirnet,which is located in England, is http://www.stirnet.comhttp://www.stirnet.com and has good Radclyffe information on it.
Hope that this isn't too confusing.
