Joe Friday,
Will someone be taking photos tomorrow at the Ratchford Reunion at Bethel Church? If anyone does, I would be very interested in accessing them and does anyone record the story telling? I won't be able to attend tomorrow, but am very interested in hearing all about it. Do you know if anyone in the family has any photos of the William Wallace Boyd family/generation, page 48, Ratchfords....I Reckon, #11244 or even his Mother, Martha M. Ratchford, page 43, #1124. I am working on a photo genealogy project. Thanks!

thanks for visiting the website. I hope you enjoy it. Please share with your Ratchford cousins. I plan on taking pictures at the reunion and will ask about pictures of William Boyd and Martha Ratchford. Good luck on your genealogy project.

I am a Dickson descent (North Carolina) and was looking up information on the Ratchford's since we have some in our tree.

Thanks for visiting the website and I hope you enjoyed it. Can you tell me the names of your Ratchford kin?

Hello Steffney,
I am glad that you found The Ratchford Website, and hope to see you next year at the 2010 Ratchford Reunion - I am Diane Ratchford Moss, my Dad is William Earl Ratchford, your Grandfathers brother. I speak to your Uncle Ed often especially after my sister Lynne had her car accident last August. Joe has done a wonderful job with the website and pictures, my husband Glenn & I are going to download some of the family's pics one will be of Grandpa and Grandma Ratchford (Briscoe and Mae) - how did you hear of our website? Email me sometime. Take care and great to hear from you!

Diane,
Great to hear from you! I remember you very well, even though I was younger. I just think a lot of Earl and always have. Im really sorry to hear about your mother. I had no idea until it was too late. I also did not know about Lynn. That is a tragic thing and Im very sorry to hear that. I remember Lynn as well. -- Really great to hear from you! Im married and we live in Lake Wylie. We will definatly plan on coming to the 2010 reunion. I cant wait to see my Great grandparents pictures on this website! I think one day I googled "something Ratchford" and this came up. What a nice surprise too! Email me anytime Diane and I look forward to seeing you! steffney.jakab@metso.com

Hi Joe! Thanks for looking up my Grandfather and Great- Grandparents! You are exactally right with the names, etc. I was not familar with William Walter Ratchford, so thanks for letting me know about him. I am very fortunate to remember my Great Grandparents. (Briscoe & Mae Ratchford) . I will look at the photos that are posted of the tombstone. Thanks for keeping in touch, and I will plan to come to the 2010 Reunion!



Hello Steffney,

Thanks for your comments. I found your grandfather in RATCHFORDS I RECKON. His father was Briscoe Ratchford, I think. and that would make your great-great grandfather, William Walter Ratchford, the 2nd oldest son of Winfield and Letitia Ratchford. There are pictures of their tombstones in the photo gallery. I hope you can make it to a reunion. Thanks for visiting the website, and please share it with your family. Best wishes!

Hello Nellie Marie;
I created this website with the help of my daughter, Shelby. I am #115323242 in Ratchfords..I Reckon. (pg. 114) That book is my primary source for finding information and I am amazed at the stories of the people from the Ratchford family. (see my potpurri page!) I hope you enjoy the website. Please feel free to add photos of your family. Don't forget that the William & Mary Ratchford reunion will be next month. I hope to meet you there. Best wishes, always.

Joe, are you the creator of the website? Thanks. Is any of the "Ratchfords I Reckon" genealogy entered onto the Ancestry website? I am on page 51 of the Ratchford book, 11244253. I've enjoyed viewing the site.

I am a granddaughter of Eula Johnston Boyd Brandon. My father (deceased) is Fred Campbell Brandon. Many members of the Brandon Family are buried at Bethel Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Clover, S.C. Including my parents and grandparents.

Mrs. Ray,
Bethel is a beautiful church and the cemetery is very fascinating, I think. I hope you enjoyed the website. Thanks for signing the guestbook!.
