Here is a copy of a letter d. 1927 from Emma Jackson to the California DAR
detailing Ralston family history dating back to James Ralston, who emig. from
SCT and settled in OH in early 1800's (not sure when). Please post it on
your web site. Also, I have a Ralston genealogy home page with same letter
on it as well as info abouit other Ralstons not related to me, plus links to
other people in my family, some of whom also lived in OH at one time or
another. All info on James Ralston and his children are verified by 1850
Guernsey Co. OH census. He was listed with wife Mary and 8 children, James
Jr. having died in 1842 and William Reed R. being born afterwards, in 1851.
Family moved to Madison Co., IA, in early 1850's, and James Ralston died in
1866/1867 there.

(no date)
My Dear Mrs. Schmidt:
I wrote a cousin of Mr. Ralston's who I thought could give me further
information of the Ralston Family, but have not heard from her, hence I have
no more data to give you of the uncles and further back of which you ask.
My husband's mother was born in Ohio 1 August 1844. her name was Elizabeth
Caldwell. As to my husband's brother's wives and my own maiden name, we all
had the same as three Ralston brothers married three Jackson sisters. Alice
D. Jackson married Samuel C. Ralston 26 Nov. 1896; Lottie D. Jackson married
Ernest C. Ralston 15 Nov. 1898 and Emma L. Jackson married James R. Ralston
17 May 1899.
As to our parents, our father Ephraim C. Jackson was born in Indiana 4 Nov.
1841 and came to Oregon with his parents in 1852 by emigrant train. Our
mother Henrietta M. Fiester was born in Marion County Oregon 10 Dec. 1848,
her parents having crossed the plains in 1847. Our parents married 8 Feb.
1865. They have both passed away. Should I get any further information from
the cousin to whom I have written I will send it to you. Pardon the delay as
it seems unavoidable.
Very sincerely,
Mrs (James F.) Emma Ralston
