I am looking for information on Richard Ratliff he is shown on the 1850 San Augustine Census and then on Shelby Co. 1860.His wife was Malitta Whitaker Ballard Ratliff. After the 1860 census they disappared. He was listed as owning 10,000 acres in Shelby Co. Shelbyville area. Also with many slaves on the 1850 and 1860 Slave schedule. Many of the folks buried in the Ballard Cemetery have the last name of Ratliff (could they be some of the Ratliff slaves?)Any help would be greatly appreciated.just2dog@cox.net
