Unfortunately, I don't have any info on the Ratliff line you mention. It may be that if your Ratliffs have dark coloring, they may indeed have some Native American (Cherokee?) ancestry.

None of my Ratliff ancestors actually had dark skin, as far as I know. You may not want to exclude the possibility that the dark coloring comes from anotherline that married into your Ratliffs. What race was listed for these Ratliffsin the earliest censuses on which they appear? People of mixed ancestry sometimes would be listed as 'mulatto,' 'FPC', 'black' & 'white' on different censuses.

As mentioned, the Ratliff surname does appear on the tribal rolls (see the2-Vol book "Cherokee by Blood," for example) - there was a John Ratliff & a Richard Ratliff among the Cherokees (both white men) in the late 18th/early 19thcenturies. By that time, the Cherokee core area had moved southwest to the areawhere the states TN, GA & SC meet. If your ancestor was born in VA in the 19thcentury, you may want to explore both Cherokee & other possibilities, such asMonacan Indian (especially if from Amherst Co VA or Wyoming Co (West) VA), or African-American.
