He married Agnes Mary Hamilton. They would eventually have eight children. He represented Cherokee County, AL as a delegate to the Alabama secession convention in early 1861. He represented the state in the First Confederate Congress from 1862 to 1864. Following the war, he was a delegate to the Alabama state constitutional convention in 1875. He was elected to the Alabama State Legislature in 1878. Ralls was actively involved in the Methodist Church and was a noted minister. One of his sons, Hamilton, was also a minister. He died in Gadsden, Alabama, on November 22, 1904, and was buried in Forrest Cemetery in Gadsden. (en)
