Most of the Civil War era birth/death records are non-existent for a couple reasons...the county either didn't keep the records (wasn't required by the state until 1911), or they were destroyed during the war.
Anna died prior to the Civil War, so her death record is available, but William's isn't.
From "Pike Co KY Deaths 1849-1909", by Hobbs & Picklesimer:
"Anna Ramy, 72 years old, Married, Died: 18 November 1856, Birth Place: South Carolina, Parents: Elizabeth Sanders(?), Cause: Old Age."

William Ramey Will Abstract:
Last Will and Testament of William Ramey of Pike Co KY, Pike Co Ky Will Book B, page 50, dated 12 Apr 1864, proved 19 Apr 1866:(This will disposed of some 7512 acres in Pike Co Ky and 2180 acres in Buchanan Co VA, which was sold and split between heirs) To eldest daughter: Mary Potter, To Sons, Moses, Daniel, William, John, Charles, to 3 eldest children by his first wife: Miles, Lloyd, and Riley. To my Fathers youngest and last grandson: Isaac, To daughters: Rebecca Bentley, Ann Bentley, Nancy Belcher, Easter Stewart, and Elizabeth Hunt. Executor appointed: my son Moses.
I have seen William's parents listed as Daniel Ramey and Rachel Johnson, but I can find no proof yet that William was their son.
