89. John RATCLIFF was born on 13 September 1788.

A Bible, printed in 1804 in is the collection of the Clinton County Historical Society Genealogy Library, Wilmington, Ohio.
It has been reprinted in The Clinton Chronicle, Ohio, Vol. 7, No. 3
Births of John's children are taken from that article.

1830 Census. Union, Highland, OH (next to his father)
John Ratcliff, 2 males under 5; 1 male age 30-40. 1 female under age 5, 2 females 5-10; 1 female age 30-40.

John RATCLIFF and Betsy CREW were married on 24 August 1819. Betsy CREW died in November 1848.

Two Elizabeth Ratcliffs are listed as having died in November of 1848 in the Bible. One died Nov 4, the other on Nov 28. I assume it was mother and daughter.

John RATCLIFF and Betsy CREW had the following children:

189	i.	Judith RATCLIFF was born on 23 November 1820.
190	ii.	Elenor RATCLIFF was born on 1 April 1822. I have also seen this name interpreted as Elmer, and a son.
191	iii.	Anna RATCLIFF was born on 21 January 1824.
192	iv.	Abner RATCLIFF was born on 25 December 1825. He died on 4 July 1837 at the age of 11.

194	vi.	Elizabeth RATCLIFF was born on 25 April 1830. She died in November 1848 at the age of 18. The deaths of two Elizabeth Ratcliffs are recorded in the Bible - one on 4 Nov 1848, the other on 28 Nov 1848. I can only assume one was the mother, the other the daughter.
195	vii.	Amos RATCLIFF was born on 6 June 1832. He died on 10 October 1854 at the age of 22.
196	viii.	Sarah RATCLIFF was born on 19 September 1835. She died on 30 October 1853 at the age of 18.
