Stephanie,
Hi,
I've been trying to get ahold of you to give you another piece of our puzzle.
Came across a document in my back papers that states that
William Ramsey Jr. who died in 1832 was the grandfather of Andrew Ramsey's children. The will dispensation clearly states that Andrew's children, Thomas M.. Higgenbotham M.,
Margaret, Mary Jane, Andrew W. were given money by their grandfather which was set aside for them byt he will to buy land in Missouri where the family has recently moved to Andrew left for Missouri in 1831-2.) Jeremiah Wayland, Executor of the will with John Ramsey's son, William S. were responsible for the dispensation. Jeremiah purchased several tracts in Missouri from 1831-1845 when he finished transferring the land to the last children in Saline Co.Mo.
Thomas went back to Albemarle Co. to attest to the completion of this part of the will with Jeremiah Wayland.
William S. and Jeremiah sold the property of William Jr. which was divided between all his children. A neighbor bought that land to join with his, including the mansion house. These 2 also sold John's property when he died not long after his father, which adjoined the Grandfather's in Albemarle Co. for another bundle. This money was split between all of John's children.That property was also sold the the same neighbor who bought William Jr.'s property.
I am seeing by this that there are two families of the same name floating around. My take is that the first family is from Augusta Co. Father William, sons: Andrew, John and William Jr. My source in Augusta Co. comes up with Tinkling Springs Church records only recording baptisms for John, William and Andrew. I think that the entry int he county history by Rev. Woods was off by a generation, giving the children of Andrew, William and John to the first generation instead of as children of William Jr. and children of the second generation. Herein lies the confusion.
What do you think?
Jaye
