Dear Renee, MAGGIE RUFFIN is my great- great- great grandmother on my father’s side. Growing up, my grandmother always told me how her mother and entire family originated from Meridian, MS. She says that Maggie was the cousin of DAVID RUFFIN but I don’t know whether that means, the first, second, or third cousin etc. I was wondering if you could help me out. My family, including my grandmother and myself were raised in Birmingham, AL. I am currently a 22 yr old Marine serving in Afghanistan and I have done as much genealogical research as resources allow on this side of the world. My last name is DANIELS. Here is a link to my family tree and the generations that I have managed to successfully trace back. http://www.myheritage.com/FP/family-tree.php?s=35638222http://www.myheritage.com/FP/family-tree.php?s=35638222 . I’m near the bottom of the tree along with my wife and daughter. MAGGIE RUFFIN and her husband, NAPOLEON HARRISON are at the top on my father’s side. Additionally, I was told that she was of some Native American descent and that her husband (also from Mississippi) was the son of his slave master and was 9 years old when freed. If you could fill me in with what you know about DAVID’s siblings, cousins, etc. I would be most grateful. I’m just trying to find where she falls in the link. Please feel free to ask me for any information you may need.
Thank you
