Hi Pat,
We appreciate your input, but we do not believe it possible that your SARAH ELLEN RATCLIFF, b. 20 Jun 1878, Willard, Carter County, KY can be the same person we are looking for named: SARAH ALICE RATCLIFF, b. Jun 1868, , Carter County, KY.
Our Sarah was married the first time to Marion Ison on 22 Dec 1886 in Carter county. (Using your birthdate for SER she would have only been 8 years old but using our birthdate for SAR she would have been 18, which is more likely.)
One of the folks we met in Blaze, Morgan County said "Yep, I remember Alice quite well.I just cannot remember exactly when she died or her parents."
As well, our notes say: "According to Carter Co. Marriage Bond Page 56, Marion & Sarah were married at Noah Ratcliff's (is he father, uncle or brother to Sarah?) house, Carter Co., with Noah Ratcliff & Elijah Triplett as witness.
Noah was old enough to have been Sarah Alice’s father as he had kids born, according to your notes, Lindsay in 1868 and John Noah Ratcliff in 1869.However, because Noah was father in 1868 to Lindsay, it is more likely he was an Uncle.Do you have information on Noah’s parents and siblings?
Sincerely,
Dick Sliger
