Does anyone have any information regarding this Joshua Ramey??? Joshua Ramey b. 1781 ,, Virginia d. 1850/1860 ,, Ohio m. Rachel (possibly Sellers??) ch: Mary b. 1811,, Virgnia m. Green Porter, June 9, 1833 This information was submitted to LDS and I have been unable to contact the submitter. I have reason to believe that this Joshua Ramey MAY be the father of my ggg grandfather John Ramey who was b. 1808 in Virginia but have been unable to find documentation to support this. The 1850 Ohio Census (Clark County, same county where my John Ramey married his wife Lydia Lunbeck) has a Joshua Ramey and Rachel Ramey ages 69 and 65 listed. 1860 Ohio Census has no Ramey's listed - I am so far going on the assumption that both Joshua and Rachel died before the 1860 census. I have tried to obtain a will from the Clerk of Courts in Clark County but they do not have one on file. I have found the marriage record for my John Ramey in Clark County, as well as the above Mary Ramey but no parents are listed in this record. Any ideas on how to prove parentage?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Sometime ago there was a web site given on the mail list that showed current money values for amounts given in previous years, i.e. an ancestor's 19th Cen. property sale in 2000 dollar amounts. Somehow I have lost, mislaid, deleted, something -- can't find it. If anyone has it, please help me out. Ann

Hi Melalee, Thanks for the response! I was just on a site of approved Huguenots and only found Abraham and Jacque Remy. Do you have the URL for your site? These people can't get their name straight! Ramey, Remy, Remey, Reamy, de Remi, and on the immigrant ship site I found, Remis!!! Arrgh! And I always thought Sanford (descendant of the Jacques) was the father of our Jemima, but now someone tells me it was Daniel (descendant of Abraham)!! Help, help! Cyndi in Baltimore

A kindergarten teacher had a pupil tell her that he had found a frog. She inquired whether it was alive or dead. "Dead." she was informed. "How do you know?" she asked. "Because I pissed in his ear." said the child innocently. "You did WHAT?" squealed the teacher in surprise. "You know," explained the boy, "I leaned over and went 'Pssst'. He didn't move." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo! Invites. http://invites.yahoo.com/

Ancestry.com recently put the WPA Graves Registration records on their site. I need to warn all Remy cousins that the info for Lewis Remy [son of Lewis and Margaret Lamb Remy] is waaay waaay wrong. Birth is listed as 1870 and death as 16 April 1935. When I found those records some months ago, I wrote to the Davis Co. IA Gen Soc about the error. Their president checked and agreed that it is quite wrong but those records are all over the country and the Net. Possibly the tombstone was marble and the dates were badly eroded. Lewis was born 18 June 1830 in Hocking Co Ohio, married Hester Ann Davis 26 August 1851 In Vinton Co. Ohio. According to the Davis Co. IA county history, they had one boy and one girl. Lewis died 18 April 1895 in Davis Co. IA and had no surviving heirs, although a land dispute with his son-in-law ended up in the Iowa Supreme Court. Ann

Marsil - I apologize for misspelling your name previously. Anyway we have no proof that he was born in NY except for the listing on the 1850 census which is hardly conclusive. The article also stated that he was from NY and indicated that according to the probate records, both sisters were still in NY or New England. Marshall apparently moved to Matagorda Cty and sold the land and apparently the land patent rights in one case. Matagorda county is a long way from here and I doubt that I'll be checking those records anytime soon. I will however call the county clerk and see if I can obtain a copy by mail. I'll keep you posted with what I find out, also will try to do some census work for both Marshall and Lawrence in NY. tom r -----Original Message----- From: Marsil Creech <MARCREECH@Prodigy.Net> To: <RAMEY-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, July 30, 2000 12:30 PM Subject: [RAMEY-L] Lawrence of NY? >Well, well, isn't that intersting?

Think I will try the State Library-with hope. The only Reamy (that is the spelling of this one) I have in NY is a Milton Joseph Reamy -b. 1892-so this is no help. Thought I would mention him tho-was born in MAss.

Well, well, isn't that intersting? A NY Ramey-after all. New ideas? You are kidding, aren't you? First things first I suppose. We do need to check those probate records in Texas. We do need to know what we are talking about-would be nice, wouldn't it. 2ndly I would think we should try to find old Lawrence on an earlier census record of NY-that can be quite a chore-even then NY was heavily populated.

Sorry I left out one key point. According to the book Marshall was Lawrence's brother who settled in Matagorda County afterwards. tom r

More on Lawrence - I spent Friday and Saturday at a genealogy conference in Lufkin, TX. As usual there were several booksellers there. After perusing their wares for something in my direct line with no success, I decided to see if I could find anymore on Lawrence Ramey which Marcil and Rick and I were discussing last month. Sure enough, I found a history of Matagorda County in 2 large volumes. Upon looking in them I found the Lawrence we've discussed and according to the book, he is not Alexander's son at all and he really was from New York. The book indicates he was born in New York in 1801 and was one of the original 300 of Austin's colony and was a participant at the battle of San Jacinto. Nothing new here, but according to the book, he died in 1852 and according to the probate records, his executor was Marshall Ramey and his heirs were Marshall and two sisters who were living in New York (maybe New England). I don't have anything on Marshall and Lawrence from New York (as shown on the census which we had assumed to be an error). I also could not find a Marshall in the Dr's book. The bookseller wanted $100 for the set of books, so I passed on any purchase, and wanted a $1 per word for any copying of info so I don't have the direct quote from the book. Are any of you close to Matagorda County that could research the probate records to verify this? Marcil - I'm totally confused as usual and hope you have some ideas. tom r
