William Ratcliff

(3 Apr 1805 - 13 Sep 1883)



Database shows he is the son of Thomas Ratcliff and Mary Cashatt - but he seems a bit too old. Needs more investigation.

RATCLIFFE, William and Margaret settled in Sugar Creek Township in 1827, in the forest and erected a log cabin on the land their son, Thomas R was born in 1834. He succeeded to the farm of his father and made additions, until at his death he owned nearly 400 acres of well improved land, upon which he built a large, commodious brick house. Another son, Miles A, was in Co. A 85th Regt and was killed at the battle of Atlanta, July 22, 1864. Taken from the Historical Sketch of Parke County Atlas of Indiana Centennial, 1816-1916, Page 115
