    3. I am seeking descendants of A. I. and Ellen (Batson) RAMSEY. A. I. and Ellen left Linn Co., MO and settled in the Lincoln County, OK area in about 1894. By 1900, Ellen had been widowed and was shown in the 1900 Census with 7 children, still living in Lincoln Co. 1900 Census, Oklahoma Territory, Lincoln, Osage, ED# 125 183/187 Ramsey, Ellen Head WF May 1865 35 Widow MO MO MO Farmer Willis Son WM Feb 1884 15 S MO MO MO Bertha Daughter May 1886 14 S MO MO MO Lulla E. Daughter July 1888 11 S MO MO MO Edward Son Jan 1890 10 S MO MO MO Eva Daughter Mar 1896 8? S OK MO MO *Birthdate and age do not agree. Eva should be older than Lee, also. Lee Son Feb 1894 S OK MO MO *Birthdate for Lee does not agree with more recent family information. Harry Son Dec 1899 S OK MO MO By 1902, Ellen and at least some of the children were in Logan Co., OK. In 1902, the three youngest children were found along a creek bank in Logan County and were placed in an orphanage in Guthrie (The Oklahoma Children's Home). In surviving records of the home, it was found that Lee Ramsey was placed with a family in or near Manchester, OK ( but not adopted), Harry Ramsey was placed (unknown where), Eva Ramsey was returned to her mother after a number of failed placements, in 1905. I am the grandson of Lee Ramsey, and would really like to make contact with descendants of any of the other Ramsey children to see if we can put some more pieces of this puzzle together.
