Birth	16 January 1852	In Monroe, Missouri, United States or Kentucky. Birth record for Armilda states that Marthenia was born in Monroe, Missouri, United States. The 1880 census says both of her parents were born in Kentucky.¹
Marriage	21 August 1871	In Platte, Missouri, United States.^2,3
Death	22 September 1902	At age 50 at 3001 Lydia in Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri, United States. The death record records cause of death as "cerebral softening".^4,5,6
Burial		In Platte City, Platte County, Missouri, United States of America.⁷

Misc		Parents: Father Washington and Nancy.¹
Misc		DNA Match. Scott and I have 2 matches for Marthenia Scott and I for Samuel and one for Alexander Anderson but the dates are for Archibald's father Alexander, so not sure how to interpret this...
Residence	August 1860	In Farley, Lee Township, Platte, Missouri, United States. Archibald Anderson, age 11, lived almost next door to her in 1860 when she was 8 years old. See 1860 census. Her father is listed as Geo in the 1860 federal census, but in a later census as Washington. Hence we assume George Washington. Last name is spelled Ratlif in this census.⁸
Residence	1870	In Lee Township, Platte, Missouri, United States. Her family still lived quite close to the Anderson family in 1870. She married Archibald Anderson in 1871.⁹
Residence	1880	In Carroll, Platte, Missouri, United States.¹⁰

Birth	25 September 1805	In Pennsylvania, British America. or Virginia. 1850 census says he was born in Pennsylvania but I'm thinking he thought where his father was born? Or he didn't answer the census himself, or? The rest say Virginia. This is not good news for his being the son of John Archibald, since John Archibald was in Kentucky by 1800. On the other hand, there are those DNA matches with John Archibald... Possibly because of other confused trees... Who was his mother and how old was she?^1,2
Marriage	9 February 1837	In Winchester, Clark, Kentucky, United States.^3,1,4
Death	27 September 1884	At age 79 in Fair Township, Platte, Missouri, United States. Died of cancer.^5,6,7,2,8,9
Burial	28 September 1884	In Brown Cemetery, Ash Hill Township, Butler, Missouri, United States.^10,2

Misc		Siblings. Apparently two siblings were married in Harrison Co., KY whereas our Alexander was married in Clark County, Kentucky. the centers of the counties are 40 miles apart, near Lexington. But I don't see county boundaries on google maps.
Misc		DNA Matches. 25 to others than Archibald. Only Scott and I to Archibald.
Misc		Grandson Dudley C. Tribble lived with him for a while.¹¹
Occupation		Farmer.^5,12
Misc		Parents: father Archibald Anderson. John Archibald Anderson b1750 in PA does give me some DNA hits. But Susannah Thomas would have been 51 when Alexander was born. The first child, John G's death certificate says mother Susannah Thomas. I get no DNA hits for Susannah Thomas, so I'm guessing there was another wife that no one knows about... I get good half hits on some of the other children.^1,13

George Washington Ratliff

M, #44, b. about 1831, d. 9 November 1889

His name is George Washington Ratliff. He was born about 1831 in Kentucky. We hear of him in 1847 when guardianship of him and his siblings is given to William Bowlin. His father John has died and there is no sign of his mother nor do we know his mother's name.

Somewhere around 1851 he marries Nancy McGee, who lived next door to him when he lived with the Bowlins. They have 5 known children, including our ancestor Marthenia "Martha" Ratliff who marries Archibald Anderson.

They lived in Platte County all their lives.

Son	John D. Ratliff (b. March 1868)

Birth	about 1831	In Kentucky, United States. What is his full name? It is George Washington Ratliff. He is Geo (for George) in the 1860 census. It was very common to name children after presidents. On the death certificate of his son Silas Ratliff his name is given as George Washington. It was filled out by his wife who did not know either the first or maiden name of his mother. What is the origin of "Tom"? I noticed in one census that they could not fit Washington into the line, so "Washing" was on the line and "ton" above it. Could that "ton" have been taken for Tom? And then it was copied on so many trees as true?^1,2
Marriage	about 1851	Information from the Anderson Bible says Martha (Ratliff) Anderson's father was Washington Ratliff and Lucrecia BUT Lucrecia was the wife of James Ratliff, brother of Washington . 1860 and 1870 census has Washington's wife as Nancy. The missing Nancy. The reason for the interest is Nancy McGee lived next door to Washington in the 1850 Census. Washington was living with Elizabeth Bowlin (widow of William) and Nancy McGee was living next door with her mother Elizabeth McGee. Living next door and being appropriate ages often led to marriage in those days. Elizabeth McGee was a daughter of Delaney Bowlin and Delaney Bowlin lived next door to Elizabeth McGee. Three households in a row: Delaney Bowlin, Elizabeth and David McGee, and (William and )Elizabeth Bowlin. Three of the households on that page are Delaney Bowlin, his daughter Elizabeth and husband David McGee (with daughter Nancy McGee), and William Bowlin and William's wife Elizabeth (guardian of Washington Ratliff). (William Bowlin died in 1850 and the guardianship of John Ratliff's children given to his wife Elizabeth.) Also Washington Ratliff served as a witness to the will of Delaney Bowlin, grandfather of Nancy McGee. ALSO, their son Silas lived in 1880 with a family in which he was called "nephew" in the census. The wife was Aristeen (McGee) Lajoie, a sister of Nancy McGee. The familysearch tree has Nancy McGee as his wife. Some people believe she was Nancy Williams with parents John W Williams and Mary, but no relevant information on such a family. A child is given to this Nancy Williams and Washington, so it is possible he married a Nancy Williams but I can find nothing about that.^3,4
Death	9 November 1889	In Missouri.

Misc		Another wife and daughter? Name confusion... These people are in Pike County Kentucky. Wash Ratliff is John Washington Ratliff (see familysearch) wife: Nancy Williams, daughter Mary F. born 27 Oct 1878 Her death certificate says her father was Wash Ratlief (?) and Nancy Williams.⁵
Residence	1847	In Platte County, Missouri, United States. Under the guardianship of William Bowlin.^6,2
Misc	8 December 1847	Appeared in court to choose William Bowlin as guardian in Platte County, Missouri, United States.⁷
Residence	30 October 1850	In Carroll, Platte, Missouri, United States. Upon the death of his father John, guardianship was given to first to William Bowlin, and upon his death to Elizabeth Bowlin.^1,2,6
Misc	1852	Witnessed will of Delaney Bowlin.³
Occupation	1860	Farmer at Farley in Lee, Platte, Missouri, United States.⁸
Residence	4 August 1860	In Lee Township, Platte, Missouri, United States. This census is where is is called Geo (for George) not Washington⁸
Military	14 December 1863	George Washington Ratliff possibly served in the Confederate Army on 14 December 1863 in Platte County, Missouri, United States of America. His birth date and place are not exactly the same, but one record calls him George W and he did live in Lee County in 1860. Not sure about this. He did live in Lee township in the 1860 census and one of the records calls him George W. Ratliff. The age doesn't match what I have nor the birth place our Ratliff reported in census. The Civil War Draft Registration record records two Ratliffs who were farmers: Washington and Martin (Martin being 1 year older), both born in Tennessee. One might assume they are brothers. Our Washington Ratliff was born in Kentucky and did not have a brother Martin. We are pretty sure of that because of records involving the death of John Ratliff and guardianship of his children.^9,10,11,12

Family: George Washington Ratliff (b. about 1831, d. 9 November 1889)

Daughter	Marthenia ("Martha") Ratliff+ (b. 16 January 1852, d. 22 September 1902)
Son	Silas Ratliff+ (b. 12 December 1858, d. 30 January 1935)
Daughter	Sarah Elizabeth Ratliff+ (b. circa 1862, d. between 1896 and 1900)
Son	James Taylor Ratliff (b. 29 January 1865, d. 8 August 1920)
Son	John D. Ratliff (b. March 1868)

Birth	about 1836	In Missouri. Sarah E Ratliff's 1880 US Census says she was born in Kentucky^1,2,3,4
Marriage	about 1851	Information from the Anderson Bible says Martha (Ratliff) Anderson's father was Washington Ratliff and Lucrecia BUT Lucrecia was the wife of James Ratliff, brother of Washington . 1860 and 1870 census has Washington's wife as Nancy. The missing Nancy. The reason for the interest is Nancy McGee lived next door to Washington in the 1850 Census. Washington was living with Elizabeth Bowlin (widow of William) and Nancy McGee was living next door with her mother Elizabeth McGee. Living next door and being appropriate ages often led to marriage in those days. Elizabeth McGee was a daughter of Delaney Bowlin and Delaney Bowlin lived next door to Elizabeth McGee. Three households in a row: Delaney Bowlin, Elizabeth and David McGee, and (William and )Elizabeth Bowlin. Three of the households on that page are Delaney Bowlin, his daughter Elizabeth and husband David McGee (with daughter Nancy McGee), and William Bowlin and William's wife Elizabeth (guardian of Washington Ratliff). (William Bowlin died in 1850 and the guardianship of John Ratliff's children given to his wife Elizabeth.) Also Washington Ratliff served as a witness to the will of Delaney Bowlin, grandfather of Nancy McGee. ALSO, their son Silas lived in 1880 with a family in which he was called "nephew" in the census. The wife was Aristeen (McGee) Lajoie, a sister of Nancy McGee. The familysearch tree has Nancy McGee as his wife. Some people believe she was Nancy Williams with parents John W Williams and Mary, but no relevant information on such a family. A child is given to this Nancy Williams and Washington, so it is possible he married a Nancy Williams but I can find nothing about that.^5,6
Death	after 1870

Misc		Parents of wife of Washington Ratliff. But I think there is a good case for the wife being Nancy McGee, who lived next door to Washington during part of his childhood. See her marriage note. Now there is DNA confirmation.
Misc		DNA Matches. 20 matches to siblings of my Nancy and no one besides me for Marthenia. Also matches with her and siblings of her father.
Residence	1850	In Carroll Township, Platte, Missouri, United States. Living next door to George Washington Ratliff⁷
Residence	1860	In Farley, Lee Township, Platte, Missouri, United States.³
Residence	1870	In Lee Township, Platte, Missouri, United States.^8,2
