According to the 1850 Census, John A. Ratcliffe was married to Harriett A. [last name uncertain] and living in Wheeling. John A. Ratcliff also is listed in Henrico Monthly Meeting records as having been disowned for marrying out of unity. Harriett's obituary lists her as a member of the Disciples of Christ at her death; my assumption is that she was not a Quaker when she and John married.
I am wondering if others have additional information that might help clarify and might help identify which of the two John Ratcliffs is the correct son.
Thanks,
