1814-1818. Moved to Warren County,
Kentucky in 1818 where he was a planter and land speculator; owned plantations
in Kentucky and Louisiana. In light
of his participation in politics, their wealth and social standing, and the
mores of the culture in which they lived, it is surprising to learn he and
Siani cohabited for 28 years without being married. Obviously an impediment to
their marriage existed but thus far has not been identified. He petitioned the General Assembly of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky to legitimize his 6 living "illegitimate
children by Sina Taylor." (Chap 757-An Act for the benefit of Eleanor F.
Ragland, Martha C. Ragland, Nancy Ragland, Andrew J. Ragland and Sarah M.
Ragland, Dated February 23, 1835.
This act confirmed their Ragland name, legitimated them and made them
"capable of inheritance in law and in equity, to all the lands and
tenements, goods and chattels, rights and credits of said Robert W. Ragland, in
as full and ample a manner as if they had been severally born in lawful
wedlock." Although they never
did marry, documents exist showing Sinai was sometimes listed as Taylor, and at
other times, Ragland.

From the "Lakers
County Herald News," series, Early Files, 1898 - 1900, this amusing story
about an encounter with a bear and a watermelon was recounted in 1985.
One day last week some
"furiners" passed through Magnolia with a "bar" and a
monkey. Tom Walters, who works at
Clopton's saw mill, had gone to the well for a jug of water [the jug belonging
to John Robert Clopton]. The
dancing of the bear and antics of the monkey was too much for Tom, so he left
his jug and went to the show.
While he was gone someone stole his jug. Tom, not to be outdone, went to Abney's store and got a
large watermelon, thinking that would reconcile Clopton for the loss of the
jug. As he was returning to the
mill he got to thinking so hard that in trying to imitate the actions of the
bear he let his melon fall and made a total wreck of it. The next man with a bear that passes
Magnolia had better not let Tom Walters get at him or that bear will suffer!
