Hi, My Ramsey line was also from North Carolina. I have found them in Yancey County North Carolina. You can search that county web site and look through old census records. I feel like you will be able to find some information there. There is also a town named after this family. It is called Ramseytown. My ancestors are Thomas Ramsey and wife Susanna Smith Ramsey. They later moved to the Laurel area and then settled in an area of Sexton's Creek in Clay County. If you don't have any luck searching in Yancey County, please try the surrounding county of Buncombe. I feel confident you will find some good information at one of those sites.
