Again..thank you very much for your information. I could not find Jacob and Mary's children listed. I was trying to piece together that information from Census records, county records and pictures my Grandmother had.
I suspect that Don, bornin 1882,is Dock . The birth years are the same. I based what info I had on a picture of Dock and John , my Grandmother had written on the back that they were Jacob's brothers. I have acouple pictures of Dock Ratliff with his wife Kate, and his mother Mary. One of the census shows Mary Ratliff living with Dock and Kate.
Jake Jr married Effie Bell Burns. Their children were :
Walter Alvin born 1896
Ruby Mayborn 1897
Mattie Ednaborn 1900
Lina Belleborn 1902
Charles Aborn 1903
Lorenzo Dowborn 1905
Johnborn 1907
Marieborn 1909
Effie Valaborn 1910
Alanborn 1914
Hattie Ellaborn 1917
My Grandmother died in 1986 in Kent County.
Effie Vala died in 1918, when the family lived in Blossom,Lamar Co, Tx. She died from Diphtheria and is buried there.
Effie had died in April , a few weeks earlier Ruby had gotten married. Mattie married that Aug 1918, she and Ruby married brothers, Moore.
My granmother married Walter Brooks.While my grandparents were alive we would have "Brooks Family Reunions", but most of the family that showed up were Ratliffs.
All of the Ratliff children have passed away, there is one daughter in law still alive, John's wife .
I did notice that the names Lorenzo and John have showed up in each generation. The Ratliff family moved to Texas from Alabama in the mid 1800's, has any of your research showed why ?
By any chance do you know where most of the Ratliff's are buried ?
Im wondering where the Lorenzo name came from....
I know Im full of questions and really appreciate your help.
Karen
