Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 10:03 AM.  Subject: Roosevelt County Query.   My gr-grandparents were Isaac Paul (Ike) RIPLEY and

Laura Rebecca WILLIAMS-ALLISON-WITHERS-RIPLEY.   I have a land deed in which Ike purchased 640 acres in New Mexico,  issued 09/06/1935 in Roosevelt County, New Mexico.   Ike's Social Security application states he lost his first card, which was issued in Clovis, NM, and he re-applied for one in McCulloch County, Texas in 1940.  I believe this family lived in Roosevelt Co. for less than 10 years.  Their son, Milton Bailey RIPLEY, lived in Lea County, NM for a time, in the 1920's.  He met my Grandmother, Hannie Katherine PERRY, in Brady, McCulloch Co., TX and they eloped to Lea Co., NM to get married in 1931.   These are the only connections that I know of for these RIPLEY'S in NM.  My question is:  Were there other family members who lived in these counties?  Do any of these names ring any bells for any researchers in Roosevelt/Lea Co.?  I am trying to uncover some "mysteries" surrounding this family and would greatly appreciate any assistance!  Thanks!  Lisa Bass.   LisaDTB@msn.com
