Just after the Ramsey-Legg Reunion, 1925, at Leander I asked W. H. Ramsey to write on the Ramsey family. He said 'You do it." o I began what has continued to the present time. wish to thank all the persons who helped me in this matter. I feel especially indebted to Mrs. George Ramsey of Mil- ton who furnished me information about Allen Ramsey and family. J. M. Pyne gave me quite a lot of important matter con- sisting of copy of material from the history of Scotland, an old book in the library at St. Louis. W. H. Ramsey helped all through the writing by finding deeds, wills, etc., of our ancestors and many ways besides. I wish also to thank Mrs. Noco Sims Darnell and Mrs. Mae Cavendish Crouse for typing most of the matter for me. I suppose I shall receive many criticisms for matter in this history and for not inserting some things that I left out. My apology is: "Whoever thinks a perfect piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was nor is nor ever shall be." J. C.

Ramsey PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor Ramsey Family I-Iistory orthoiomew Ramsey In writing history or biography, the writer usually in- stills into it sorne of his personal feelings and ideas. He is inclined to minimize the faults of his supposed heroes and magnify their good qualities. This is natural and the writer is not to be condemned too harshly for so doing. The writers of the Bible history however seem to have told the sins of Abraham, Moses and David as well as their virtues. I shall attempt to follow the biblical plan in writ- ing the history of the Ramseys. I shall give attention to Chronology, but shall aim to sprinkle in enough spice that it will not be tasteless. For any mis-statements that I make, I wish to apologize now. Mark Twain said "When I was young I could remember everything that happened and a lot of things that never happened; but since I have gotten old about all I can remember are things that never hap- pened." I obtained most of my information from others. So if some of the events that I tell are not true I can excuse myself by attributing it to my informers or to my failing memory. I am aiming to tell the weakness of my heroes as well as their virtues. If I told only the good acts of the Ramseys there would not be enough matter to fill a book and the Ramseys themselves would not recognize the story. So I shall aim to relate enough bad things to make the good things appear true. David Ramsey was a great historian; but he spelled his name "Ramsay" instead of "Ramsey" so I suppose I am no relation to him. Consequently I have no great ancestor from which to inherit a historical talent. Therefore I hope PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor HISTORY 8 RAMSEY FAMILY not write the kind of no one will be disappointed if I do history that fills his ideal. now Fayette When Grandfather Ramsey lived in what is on his County, Henry Clay was passing through Fayette way to Washington City from Kentucky. helping Abraham Lincoln and General Grant were boys of Mexico, the to conquer the Wild West.

PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor RAMSEY FAMILY IISTORY 9 Margaret Wiseman, his wife, was boni in Berks County Pennsylvania 1777. She was a daughter of Isaac Wiseman, who had seven sons and four daughters: viz. Joseph Wise man, John Wiseman, Sarah Wiseman, Isaac Wiseman, Ja- cob Wiseman, Rachel Wiseman, Samuel Wiseman, Abner Wiseman, Elizabeth Wiseman, Margaret Wiseman (Ram- sey) William Wiseman. The Ramseys and Wisemans have been closely associated as far back as I can trace them. Besides Bartholomew Ramsey marrying Margaret Wise- man, William Wiseman married a sister of Bartholomew Ramsey near the time that Bartholomew was married. Al- so his brother Daniel Ramsey married Elizabeth Wiseman, daughter of Joseph Wiseman, who was oldest brother of Margaret Wiseman (Ramsey) I shall have more to say of Daniel Ramsey and William Wiseman later. Bartholomew Ramsey moved to Nicholas County, now Fayette about 1819 and settled near where Leander is now, and where the Ramsey Reunion was held Aug. 13, 1925. I have in my possession a copy of a deed made by William McClung of Greenbrier County to Bartholomew Ramsey, June 20, 1818, witnessed by Wm. Carnefix, John Carneiix and Emanuel Fleshman and confirmed by the Nicholas County Court Jan. 5, 1819. The deed does not state the number of acres but gives boundary as follows, viz: "Be- ginning a white oak, maple and beech, corner to Fleshman and S 22W 20 poles to white oak and beech and S 82W 160 poles to a white oak and N 17 W 38 poles to a white oak and N 70 W 16 poles to a white oak and black oak and N 35 E 20 poles to a white oak and N 85 E 148 poles to a large chestnut and dogwood and S 51 E 127 poles to a poplar in a hollow S 17 56 poles to the beginning." There is another deed for a smaller amount of land dated 1822. My understanding is that Bartholomew Ramsey and one or two of his oldest boys came to Fayette and raised some crop in 1819 and brought the family in 1820.

  • TENNESSEE RIFLES by Robin C
    TENNESSEE RIFLES By Robin C. Hale A paper presented at the Fall, 1970 meeting of the American Society of Arms Collectors at Houston, Texas Mr. President, members of the Board, fellow members, and guests: it is a pleasure to be able to present this paper to you on one of my favorite subjects - the Tennessee Rifle. When I first considered giving this paper, I thought that it would be appropriate to present it at one of the Societg'e meetings in the east, where the majority of the Kentucky rifles were made. However, a large number of Kenhckies, including the Tennessee variety, were brought out here during the western migration and still turn up in the west from time to time. Because of this, and because what 1 say here may facilitate recognition of Tennessee rifles on the part of those who have not had the opportunity to delve into the subject, I think it most fitting that I give this paper in a city named for one of Tennessee's most famous heroes, who came west with many other Tennesseans to help the Texans win their independence from the Mexicans. I hope that my taIk will be of interest to you, and 1 will gratefully achowledge any help which the membership can provide in my research on Tennessee weapons, particularly bringing to my attention examples of rifles which you think may be Southern in origin. Until relatively recent years, very little had been published ROBIN C. HALE on Southern ent tuck^ rifles. Occ&ionally there would be a statement to the effect that Southern riftes tended to be unornamentative and iron-mounted, with a grease- or tallow-hole in the buttstock instead of a patchbox.

  • Beans Were Earliest Tennessee Settlers
    Beans Were Earliest Tennessee Settlers William and Lydia Bean are celebrated as the first permanent settlers in the section that became Tennessee, and their son, Russell Bean, was the first white child born within the confines of the state. As the descendants of William Bean spread out from the vicinity of the Watauga River, some of them made their way to Hamilton County. William Hamilton Bean, grandson of Russell Bean, was a major in the Union Army and was elected county tax collector and then sheriff. The William Bean who ventured into frontier Tennessee was born in 1721, and is believed to be the son of another William Bean, of Northumberland County, Va. The younger William Bean made his way to Augusta County, Va., and he married Lydia Russell. He began going out on hunting parties with Daniel Boone and others into the untracked wilderness. Despite the presence of hostile Indians, Bean decided in early 1769 to set down roots at the Watauga River where he had camped while hunting with Boone. The Beans were soon joined by some of their Virginia neighbors and kin, including John and George Russell, brothers of Lydia Russell Bean. It was Lydia Russell Bean who was rescued by the Cherokee "Beloved Woman'' Nancy Ward, according to early accounts. In 1776, Mrs. Bean had been captured by the Indians during a siege at the Watauga while William Bean was away on a hunting trip. When she refused to provide information about conditions at the settlers' fort, she was tied to a stake in preparation for being burned.
