Pharmer (Farmer) RATLIFF       (ID #I28385)

(male)
Father: John Elliott RATLIFF (b. 1872, d. 1954)
Mother: Laura Mae (Dollie) TRIMBLE (dates unknown)

Family 1 : Martha Ann SPRADLIN (dates unknown)

 

If this lineage is correct, the autosomal DNA match of a granddaughter of this Pharmer Ratliff with my father, John Wayne McCoy, would have to be a 6th cousin once removed. However, there may be complications, given that there seem to have been multiple intermarriages with the Spradlin family and possibly others, as well as several men called Silas Ratliff who were contemporaries and who might easily have been confused with one another in later pedigrees. It remains to be explained, also, that so many diverse Ratliff descendants, 5th cousins or more remote, have turned up as DNA matches. GEDmatch kit MB9372255, GEDCOM file designated Diana Blair Herald, matching segment on chromosome 9, 132.5-138.0M, 17.0 cM.

This is probably the Silas Ratliff also known as "Anselus" who died in 1811. The rest of the ancestry shown here is based on that identification and internet sources. The source for the name "Anselus" has not been located, but it appears in several internet genealogies. While it is possible that "Silas" could be regarded as a nickname of "Anselus", most of the internet sources place this name in brackets, as if it were a speculative reading of a difficult manuscript.

We transcribed the will from FHL microfilm #0033330:

Silas RATLIFF       (ID #I28368)

(male)
Father: Silas RATLIFF (d. 1811)
Mother: Elizabeth _____ (dates unknown)

 

While he might logically be known as Silas Ratliff Junior, to distinguish him from his father who is identified as Silas Ratliff Senior in his will of 1811, one of the witnesses to that will was also a Silas Ratliff Junior, presumably one of the nephews of Silas Senior, since it would not be appropriate for an heir to serve also as a witness for the will. 

                                             ______ RATLIFF ______
