Surnames: Hale, Ramsour, Rumsower, Westfall Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VZB.2ACI/231 Message Board Post: Sarah Rumsoner (which I believe to actually be Ramsower, etc spellings) married Cornelius Westfall in Ross Co OH in 1804. The family then moved on to Greene Co IN. In his rev War pension appl, Cornelius identifies Isaiah Hale. his "stepson aged nearly twenty four years who out of pitty sake for his mother" . . and Elizabeth a "stepdaughter aged upwards of twenty." Isaiah Hale is my ancestor (as would be his mother Sarah). I am assuming Sarah was at one time a Hale and/or a Ramsour.. I do not know if she married a Ramsour after the Hale or if Hale died and she resumed her maiden name or what. Cornelius' brother Abel married a Polly Rumsower in Greene, IN. I have Isaiah's descendant line but know nothing of his parents except that bit on Sarah and that he was born in NC abt 1797. Seeking any information on mother Sarah Rumsower Hale, her children Isaiah and Elizabeth and the Polly Rumsower md Abel Westfall. Any help would be appreciated! Cindy HMB [email protected] There are Ramsours in OH as well as Greene Co IN. Also in MO & TX where Isaiah came but I know of no connections, if any, to Sarah. (Tons of Hales and Ramsours in NC where Isaiah was born, too!!)
