Oh dear,

You have been wonderful in providing information, and thank yu, but I was seeking a MaryAnn who eludes me. My Mary Ann Ralston, from Jefferson County or Overton County, Tennessee, married Jesse Coons and moved to Indiana and Iowa. I cannot find their marriage or MaryAnn's parents. Only that they were wealthy enough to provide her with music lesson, for Jess was the teacher and they ran away together.

I was hoping I had found her, but no. I am sorry, I have nothing more on Matthew and his line.
Thank you for your help,
A

Mary Ann married W. R. Hensley 10 Nov 1858 in Monroe County, Tenn. (See Tennessee State Marriages 1780 to 2002.) She obviously married late in life, being age 60. Her sister, Susanna also married late in life, being 62. She married James Bogle 1 Aug 1852 in Blount Co., Tenn.

Elizabeth (called Betsy in her Grandfather Matthew's will) married Lewis Reno Vance 12 Feb 1815. (Info. from Vance Family Bible which I have photocopied.)

I am still seeking informtion on Martha (nicknamed Patty in Matthew's will.) I don't have anything about a marriage. Do you?
There is also a Matthew attributed to this family, but I can't find any substantiation.

Thank you! Have you more documentation and information on Moses and the girls, please ? I am particularly interested in MaryAnn Ralston/Raulston.

Re: Descendants of Matthew Raulston, d. Tennessee, 1800

myduane2 — 2009-06-19 00:14:17Z

I have also read the will of Matthew Raulston. The four girls mentioned are the daughters of Moses. Patty is a nickname for Martha.

I can be rather slow. The book is THE RAULSTONS AND THE PART THEY PLAYED IN AMERICAN HISTORY by J. Leonard Raulston. It is basically a who begat who, unfortunately it is not indexed.

I am looking for information on my grandfather Ralph Ralston, he lived in Dexter, MO. He was married to Margaretti Cross, he was also married to Estella C. Bethell from Grafton, ILL.

Byron A. Raulston, DOB 11-25-1896

debbiemarchant — 2006-08-24 16:59:21Z

My great grandfather was Byron A. Raulston. He was born on November 25, 1896 according to his draft registration card. He was born in Tennessee and moved to Virginia. In 1917, he lived in Alexandria, Virginia and was married to Jessie Marie Raulston. They had two children, Madeleine A. and Vivian E.

I know Jessie remarried later and I don't know if this is because Byron died or they divorced.

If anyone has information on Byron A. Raulston - what happened to him - who his parents were, etc., please email me at debbiemarchant@yahoo.com. Thank you.

Harry Knox Raulston ---Hamilton or Marion County Area, Tennessee

WindyWindy1919 — 2006-06-30 13:24:10Z

We are looking for parents of Harry Knox Raulston. He was born 4/3/1930 and died 11/3/1958. He was married to a woman named Daisy - maiden name unknown. Daisy had about 10+ children - 2 by Harry, about 4 by unknown men, then remarried and had about 6 more children. At least the first 6 children were given up for adoption. The first two children were named Ramona, b. about 1954 and Robert Knox Raulston, born 10/5/1955. Ramona was adopted by a Lindsey family. Robert (Bobby/Bob) is my cousin and is looking for his birth family. Harry Knox Raulston, the father, did not give up the children and supposedly committed suicide in Duval County, Florida after the adoptions went through. He is buried in Chattanooga National Cemetery, Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee. Harry had a brother who came to Florida to take the body of Harry back to Tennessee to bury him, but his name is unknown. Would like any information on Harry's family, any of the children, and/or their mother Daisy. Harry & Daisy lived in Gainesville, Hall Co, Georgia when the children were given up - Harry was out of town working and knew nothing of what was going on. The COILEDBASKETS address is no longer good - have no idea how to change it. Please contact Judy at WindyWindy1919@yahoo.com. Would be happy to call you, if you will send your phone number.

Cassandra Rolston born 1832 TN died TX

Not Know Female Rolston 1834 TN

Re: William M. Raulston/Rolston

2002-07-14 21:09:08Z

William M. had another sister who settled southwest of Clarksville. She was married to a Chessir. There was a school teacher in Dimple, Texas, named Miss Faye Chessir. Her father, Mr. Jess Chessir, said that he is related to the Raulstons.

Re: William M. Raulston/Rolston

2002-07-14 20:59:37Z

Here is the best story yet. William M. had a prized saddle horse stolen from the front pasture. William tracked this horse a distance of some thirty miles into Bowie County where he found it in a barn lot. William inquired of the lady of the house as to the whereabouts of her husband without revealing the nature of his business. Upon being informed that the Master of the house would return at sundown, William camped in a nearby grove of trees to await further developments. When the Master or the house returned, William stated his business and was invited to spend the night. The host was also interested in catching the horse thief because he had traded a good horse for the stolen property. After dinner conversation turned to olden time, points of origin, etc. During this conversation William discovered that he had just shared dinner with his younger sister, whom he had not seen since she was a young girl back in Tennessee. Their family name was Cotton. Some of the Cotton family later settled in Red River County, Texas.

Re: William M. Raulston/Rolston

2002-07-14 20:47:08Z

If George W. moved to Red River County, Texas, with William M. in 1850 that would explain why he was not included in the 1850 TN Census. Have to evidence of that, just a guess. Would fit the record of George W. death in Red River County, Texas, in 1859.

Regarding the parent of Fannie Ousley? Here is the story I have on her and her parents.
Fannie S. Ousley born 1822 Tennessee, Married William M. Raulston in Tennessee 1840, moved to Red River County, Texas, 1850, died 1886, buried in New Haven Cemetery. Her parents were both born in Virginia. An ancestor, Thomas Ousley, was a very early settler in Virginia. Thomas served in the House of Burgess and was later sheriff. A creek at the foot of the Bull Run Mountains in northern Virginia still bears the Ousley name.
I hope that helps you research Fannie.

Re: Raulston, William M Tenn Born

2002-07-14 20:13:09Z

Followup to earlier posting.
William M. Raulston, m. Fannie Ousley-Raulston, immigrated from Tennessee to Red River County, Texas, in 1850. The father of William was born in Tennessee and served under General Andrew Jackson at the battle of New Orleans and in the Seminole Indian Wars. The mother of William was born in Virginia.

Still seeking Name and information on William M.'s parents.

What a surprise! Thought I'd NEVER find anybody working this family. I can't believe it! Hey, let's put our heads together and see if we can move this line off high center. It's way past time. Talk about sketchy info? I've been scratching for any little piece of information and there hasn't been much where I've been looking. Maybe you have some better sources? Email me directly jinglewind@hotmail.com and let's compare notes. Daniel and Amanda would be my 2gg parents.

Looking for information on paternal grandmother, Charlotte Rawlston or Raulston

2003-08-07 05:51:25Z

Hello,

When I found my biological father some years back, he mentioned to me that his mother's name was Charlotte Rawlston. I have found nothing for Rawlston here, but it occurred to me he could have gotten the spelling wrong.

I do know this--she married a George Newstead sometime in the late 1930's, was a full-blooded Apache, and was born in upstate New York or Connecticut. She died of cancer around 1965.

Any help anyone here can give me will be appreciated.
