Unfortunatly, the details I put in my post about my Eliza RAMEY are all I know about her, so can't add much more. If you need me to resend that info, just let me know. Thanks again for the offer to help. Bonnie in Alaska

Hi All, I am new to the Ramey list and have been "lurking" for a week or so before posting my first query. It looks like I am not alone in my struggle to find my VERY elusive RAMEY kin! :-) I am seeking information and/or a family connection to the following: Eliza RAMEY, born abt 1811 in Virginia married Job B. DAVIS before 1829. They may have been married in Mt. Sterling, Montgomery Co., Kentucky as that is where their first child was born. They moved to Christian County, Illinois by about 1835. I suspect that Eliza RAMEY DAVIS was dead by 1860 as she is not listed in the census with husband, Job. They had the following children (these are the ones I know about, there may be more): John H., born 27 Aug 1829 in Mt. Sterling, KY Elizabeth, born abt 1835 in IL Amanda, born abt 1838 in IL William, born abt 1841 in IL Lucy, born abt 1844 in IL Emily, born abt 1848 in IL A family story that was written about my direct ancestor, John H. Davis (son of Eliza RAMEY) states that Eliza was from a "prominent Virginia family". I would sure appreciate it if folks would check their RAMEY research and see if my Eliza is there...I have been trying to find her parents for years!! Sincerely, Bonnie in Alaska

Subject: CENSUS TAKER CENSUS TAKER It was the first day of census, and all through the land; The pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride; His book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there; Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air. The woman was tired, with lines on her face; And wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table; And she answered his questions ... the best she was able. He asked of her children... Yes, she had quite a few; The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two. She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived there with pride; And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside. He noted the sex, the color, the age... The marks from the quill soon filled up the page. At the number of children, she nodded her head; And saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never forgot"; Was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon ... or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear; But she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such; They could read some .and write some .. though really not much. When the questions were answered, his job there was done; So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun. We can almost imagine his voice loud and clear; "May God bless you all for another ten years." Now picture a time warp ... its' now you and me; As we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow; As we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day; That the entries they made would effect us this way? If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel; And the searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we listen the words they impart; Through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart.

I think that this UFO thing may explain why I can't find any of my ancestors on that side of the family. It's like looking for relatives in Arkansas that were moonshiners, Nobody know nothin' or isn't telling.

This must be the oldest joke in Ramey family history. My dad told my mom he wanted to name me "Doe".

Jeannie and list members, Thank you for putting the obits on the list. I rarely put in my two cents as I usually just read my mail, copy what I need and delete the others. I do have the Whaley connection in my database so have been saving all of the obits so I can go through them when I have time. I appreciate all the work you are doing and feel guilty for not saying so earlier. Please consider continuing sending them to the Ramey list. I am one of the ones who is wondering where my CD,money,etc. has gone. Thank you for explaining that it made it to outer space as it did not get to IN. A fellow Ramey cuz, Ann in IN

My Gosh. We've now gone from obits to poems. Unbelievable!!!!!! John Tallman Lookout Mountain, Tennessee

Now that is a thought Jeannie. Something did happen to those CD;s. Good thought-lets work with it. You know, I have been searching for the log books from that crashed UFO. I just know it would explain almost everything that I need to know about Reamys and Creechures. And I do need an explaination, believe me. ____ Marsil in the Land of UFO's, Aliens, and weather balloons.

The CD's and the log books are probably on that UFO that was waiting behind the comet not to long ago.......you lost your chance...darn.... -----Original Message----- From: MRS MARSIL R CREECH [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 24, 1998 1:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [RAMEY-L] Origins of Ramey Name Now that is a thought Jeannie.

Hi Ramey List; I have been completely stuck for the last several years on my great-grandmother, Emma Ramey. She was born c1863 in Mecklinburg Co, Va. She married John Reese, also from Mecklinburg Co, Va on Dec 28, 1870 On a copy of her marriage license she lists her parents names as T.C. (maybe L.C.) and Amanda Ramey. If anyone can help on this, I certainly would be grateful.
