Research Notes: Virginia Project

Originally listed as: Louisa Vaughn Jefferson Ratliff.

Louisa is listed with her parents on the 1850 Census and married Peyton Graves Jefferson in 1857. She is listed with Peyton on the 1860,^[34] the 1870,^[35] the 1880,^[36] the 1900,^[37] and the 1910 Census.^[38] She passed away in 1911; as did her husband Peyton. No records have been found that indicate she was ever married to Alexander Ratliff and her tombstone lists her as Louisa V. Jefferson. For this reason; she is being removed as the wife of Alexander Ratliff but can be added back if a source is found that links her to him.
