    • Jeremiah Ragland's given name is also seen as Jerry and Jerry-Miah.

      The death certificate for Jeremiah Ragland gives his birth year as 1883, but his WWI draft registration and Social Security application has it as 1881.

      The death certificate and social security application for Jeremiah Ragland gives his mother's name as Texas Hendrick. However, his father was married to Ellen Ann Lemon at the time. Her parents were Charles and Mariah (Hendrick) Lemon. Jeremiah also had a sister who's identified in census records as Texas Ann Ragland. Was Jeremiah Ragland's mother really named Texas Hendrick? Or was his mother Ellen Ann Lemon and she went by Texas Hendrick? She had a daughter named Texas and a mother whose maiden name was Hendrick. So there is circumstantial evidence that Jeremiah Ragland's mother was actually Ellen Ann Lemon. More evidence is needed to definitively determine Jeremiah Ragland's mother.
