The James M. Ralston Family Home Page

I have traced my RALSTON line down from John Ralston, born circa 1755. John Ralston enlisted in the Revoluntionary Army from Greenbrier Co. Virginia. After his tour of service, John moved from Virginia to Kentucky in 1779 and lived in Fayette County. Most of my line centers around the Harrison County area of Kentucky, particularly, the area of Cynthiana. My line continues as follows:


JOHN RALSTON b. circa 1755 m. unknown
DAVID RALSTON 1790-1866 m. Sarah Atkinson
ALFRED JEFFERSON RALSTON 1820-1914 m. Mary E. Smith
ALFRED JEFFERSON RALSTON 1882-1933 . Frona L. Gentry
LILLARD L. RALSTON 1917-1990 m. Virginia E. Pollard
JAMES M. RALSTON 1946- m. Arminta H. Rank
