Ramsour married to a Nancy in 1850 which can't possibly be my line. Who is he? and where does he fit into this Ramsour line? Mary, I could not locate a Vardy M. Ramsour who married a Nancy in 1850, but I did find this in David Shuford's book: Vardy McBee Ramsour b. 23 Nov 1866, Catawba Co., NC, d. 25 Sept 1942, Manhattan, Riley Co., KS, buried: Briggs Cemetery, Geary Co., KS. (s/o Maxwell Ramsour, b. 14 July 1822 [s/o John "Tanner" Ramsour, Jr. & Susannah Summey] d. 24 Feb 1890 in Geary Co., KS, buried in Briggs Cemetery, Geary Co , KS, and Margaret Warlick, b. 17 June 1827, Lincoln Co., NC, m. 13 April 1847, in NC. Margaret d. 14 Dec 1899, Geary Co., KS, buried: Briggs Cemetery, Geary Co., KS.) Hope this is helpful. Carol .
