I believe that John is given as John GOODNEM in the 1840 Maury CO TN census, a neighbor county of Williamson CO. There are no RAGSDALE’s in Maury, Sumner Co TN, or Warren/Allen Co KY during this period. There are 11 RAGSDALE families in the 1820 Williamson Co,TN census. If anyone has information that can lead me to the parents of Eliza RAGSDALE, I would be most appreciative. Eliza RAGSDALE GOODRUM was my ggg-grandmother.
