My relative Benjamin Radcliff was John's father - born 1794 in Kentucky - married Sarah Florence in 1819.They also lived in Pickaway County, Ohio.Sarah died in 1853, and it looks John and his wife named their daughter born 1861 Sarah Florence in her grandmother's honor.My father's great-grandmother was John's older sister Sarah who married Dr. Benjamin Franklin Smith (2nd wife).They had six children in Pickaway County, then moved to Southwest City, MO where Sarah was killed when she was gored by a cow on 01 Sep 1868.Dr. Smith then married her younger sister Mathilda by whom he had 5 more children.My father's grandmother was Laura (mother Sarah) and she married Dwight Eldridge Havens in Southwest City.They had six children (four lived) before she died at age 55 from a rash that turned septic in only a matter of a few days.My father's father was their youngest child and came to California in the early 1920s where he met my grandmother and settled down.I have more info on this line if you are interested.I have some info on the Benjamins but not much on Daniel Stephen.I realize your post is old but I hope you still check this site.Dawn
