Melissa, I hope this information is correct. When trying to sort out these southwestern Virginia Rameys, it can get tricky -- especially since they were so numerous and liked to go by nicknames. I believe GMC Ramey to be the son of John Ramey, SR and Rena Osborne. His name was George McKenny Ramey, and he often went by Kennie. His younger brother, Jackson, was (I believe) the infamous Dack Ramey who got into trouble with his brothers William and John. In a letter Dack wrote from prison, he mentions Kenny Ramey and Florence. 18/Apr/1882 George M. Raney, 18 and single married Florence J. McGlothlin 21 and single. He was the son of John and Rena Ramey, she was the daughter of Sylvester P and Maey Ann McGlothlin. Florence died in 1891. I also have GMC married to a Gertrude Unknown : possibly Gertrude Plaster? This is probably their son: On R. L Ramey's marriage certificate in Wise County 4/21/1919 to Annie E Carter, R.L. gives his father's name as GMC Ramey and his mother's name as Gertrude Ramey. March 17, 1892, GMC marries Amanda Blevins Ramey--daughter of Alexander Blevins and Eliza A Ramey. Amanda went by Ramey and Blevins growing up. In the Scott Co, VA Marriage Register for 1894-1912, GMC is listed as marrying Alverta Blevins Aug 4, 1911. He is a 49 year old widower, and she is 18 and single. They both are listed in the marriage record as having been born in Scott County. He is listed as the son of John and Rena Ramey; she is listed as the daughter of J P and Bettie Blevins. GMC's occupation is a farmer. Now, THIS IS ALL MY RESEARCH -- AND ALTHOUGH THE FACTS LOOK CORRECT, I HAVE NO PROOF THAT THIS IS THE SAME FELLOW WHO MARRIED THESE 4 WOMEN. I sure would like to know more about this GMC -- and about Dack Ramey as well. I would welcome any proof one way or the other on my information. Thanks, Sharon
