Ratliff's, Hickman Co. TN
I have reason to believe we are related to the Hickman Co. TN Ratliff lines.Does anyone have a descendency for this family?
Our ancestor was William Ratliff born between 1828 and 1832 in TN.I just found a 1900 census of Cooke Co TX that had a descendent from this Tennessee area and suspect that this is a clue for us to move beyond our "brick wall."
Our William, like so many others was killed in the Civil War and left 2 sons in Cooke Co. TX to be raised by another family.
I can see Jessee Ratliff in Hickman Co. TN in 1820, 1830, 1840, and in 1850 there is a Mary Ratliff and a Matilda -- both have William Ratliffs of that age and there is another William as well in the county.I would like a little help with this lineage if anyone knows about this branch of Ratliffs.
