Susan Ragan was born to Thomas Ragan and Keziah Shaw about 1822.
February 23, 2015: John Pike moved his family several times between Davidson and Sumner counties in Tennessee. He married Susan Ragan in Davidson in 1836 and they show up in the 1840 Sumner census, near 2 other Pikes, Joab and James. The 1850 Davidson census lists John and Susan with the following children:
Neighbors include William H. Ragan , 36; wife Harriet, 24; and son Henry, 8. William is probably Susan's brother. The 1860 District 8 Sumner Census has John numbered with the previous family and named incorrectly, Pikes. Perhaps the census taker just numbered the women as family head because it is consistent on page 125? Then the 20th Civic district, Davidson census lists John with Susan, John, 20, and Preston, 12. More research required to confirm birth and death facts, and participation in civil war.Juedeman-1 16:11, 19 March 2016 (EDT)
