Goodson Bits & Pieces Along the Way

1. Samuel Ratcliff Site
   Samuel Ratcliff Sr., Samuel Ratcliff Jr., James Ratcliff and Richard Ratcliff are all documented in early Craven County, South Carolina before 1769. They lived on the west side of Lynches Creek in that area which was later Sumter County and cut into the formation of present day Lee County, SC. Research also indicates that Samuel Ratcliff Sr. had at least two daughters. The first daughter, who had passed away by c1756, had married Jethro Butler. The second daughter Rachel Ratcliff had first married JAMES? GOODSON, and after his death she married her deceased sister's widower Jethro Butler. RACHEL RATCLIFF GOODSON had land on Lynches Creek next door to her father Samuel Ratcliff Sr. in South Carolina. Many old family letters also confirm the relationships.
