dthomas006 — 2009-09-26 06:15:21Z

I realize it has been several years since you posted this question so you may have already found the information you were looking for. My father was Paul Ragsdale of Plainfield, Indiana. His wife, my mother, was Dorothy Frances Ragsdale and she preceded him in death in Aug, 2000. They had five children who are all living. John P. Ragsdale, Rachel Ragsdale Sammons, me (Carol Ragsdale Thomas), Ruth Ragsdale Deakin and James W. Ragsdale.

John Ragsdale

wlshelley — 2009-09-21 00:32:23Z

I am helping my uncle look for information about his great grandfather. His name was John Boone, but he supposedly was John Ragsdale and was adopted by the Boones. He thinks John was born in KY, 1852. It was said he was a drummer boy during the Civil War and that was when his name was changed from Ragsdale to Boone. He was married in Soddy, TN, and died in Petros TN in 1928. He married Mary Isabell Riddle. Any information would be helpful.

Re: Samuel Ragsdale, Sevier County Tennessee

TerryRagsdale54 — 2009-08-31 01:13:02Z

If this is Samuel Ragsdale, born to William T. Ragsdale born Feb 1855, .I think William T. Ragsdale was a brother to my Great-Grand-Father James A Ragsdale, born 1862. My grand-Father Mandelvilee Ragsdale and samuel would have been first cousin. I found all this family register on the 1900 centus, all living in Cullman Alabama. Don't know if this will help you or not. Do you know who Samule's father was. Was it William T.

Lester Ragsdale

carterw65 — 2009-06-24 22:51:43Z

Yes, he was born Lester Campbell Ragsdale son of Jessie Thomas Ragsdale and Lola Lee Lesly. He was born 30 Jul 1911 in Limestone Co., TX. His siblings are William Clarence Ragsdale, b. 20 Feb 1914 in Limestone, Neoma G Ragsdale b. abt 1914 (no further information on her), and Willie Truman Ragsdale.

Lola Lee Lesly was the daughter Oscar Lee Lesly and Neoma Vesora Crabtree. Neoma Crabtree was the daughter of John Hurd Crabtree and Mary Lucinda Redden. John Hurd Crabtree was the son of William Carroll Crabtree and Mary Ann Estes. Mary Ann Estes was the sister of my 3rd great grandmother Missouri Estes who married Pickens Patton. They were the daughters of Hiram M Estes and Lucy Richardson.

I have lots and lots on this family as I am writing a book on the descendants of Hiram M Estes and Lucy Richardson.

This is my son's account. If you want to reach me, write to my email address nanabear39@comcast.net

Re: Ragsdale Surname web page

GaryCowan44 — 2009-02-19 17:09:34Z

Sallie Cowan is thought to be a daughter of James Cowan and Frances Garrett of Laurens Co SC. In the 1820's the family was living near the Reedy River in the northwest corner of the county. James Cowan is said to have built the meeting house for the Lebanon Methodist Church there in 1832, as well as a bridge nearby, where a segment of country road is still known as Cowan's Bridge Road. The Ragsdale family were early members of the church, and Peter and Sallie moved to Marshall Co AL with her parents and other local families.

Does anyone have old family photos or family stories of the Peter Ragsdale or Cowan family?

Thanks Thomas for the information. Maude is my grandmother - she married a Carroll. I am a descendant of her daughter Lula. I would appreciate any information you have - I can find a lot of info regarding my grandfather Ezra but not on my grandmother Maude. Sorry for the delay getting back to you but I have dial up at home and I have to do this at work. If you have any info regarding Maude's mother that would be great. I think she was Indian - Cherokee??? I believe Eva was known to me as Aunt Evie. I went to Rochester many years ago and met Delia - Maude's step mother. This could be the breakthru I have been looking for.
Thanks so much!!! Carol Gene

Jordan Ragsdale Family

My grandfather is Joseph Benjamin Ragsdale born Sept.2, 1911 in Martin, Tenn. He is the son of May Bell and John A. Ragsdale. John A. Ragsdale was the son of Sarah and Joseph B. Ragsdale. I am looking for any information that can fill out the family history for my grandfather who will turn 97 this year. We have pictures of John A. and May Bell, but nothing before that time. I would appreciate any help. I can fill in the family tree of John A. and May Bell.

Thank you,

Re: Jordan William Ragsdale

halex6596 — 2008-08-15 00:19:19Z

It looks like the brothers might have been in Platte County, Missouri according to the 1840 census. I couldn't find Jordan (my great, great, great grandfather) but when I looked for William, birthdate about 1812 (just a guess) I found what appears to be a Jordan and a William. When comparing childrens ages it seems to fit.

I would love any information that you might have or family pictures that might include Jordan and/or Lucinda. Any family history would be greatly appreciated. I am working on the family tree for my grandfather who will be 97 this Sept. He is the great grandson of Jordan through Joseph B Ragsdale.

Hi,

Thank you so much for responding. Any information that you can share I would be very grateful for.

I have information about my grandfather's immediate family and know that my great grandmother, May Belle, was John Adam Ragsdale's second wife. John and his first wife Idella (Gooch) Ragsdale had a daughter, Lucile. May Belle and John had two sons, Joseph B. and John, Jr.

My grandfather remembers growing up in Martin and Jackson. We have some pictures of May Belle and John, but nothing before that. I understand that the Ragsdales and Bloodworths owned a store. Do you know of anyone that might have a photo?

Again, thanks for your help,

Linda

MarieMartiniSmith — 2008-09-19 23:45:49Z

Hi everyone who is interested. My cousin Cathy and I found James Newton Ragsdale's grave about two years ago. He's buried in Ravenden, AR in Lawrence County. His grave is now marked with a new headstone,it's small, but that's all we could afford at the time. He's buried in the Dail Family Cemetery just leaving Ravenden. The cemetery is owned by the Dail Family, who the great grandfather of some of them, was the coroner who did the inquest into the death of James Ragsdale.
Thanks,

Marie Smith
