As to whether there were one or two Robert Ramseys, one who purchased property in Beverley Manor in 1747 and one living in Calf Pasture 26 Feb 1749 when his daughter Sarah was baptised is moot. It could be the same person, and he leased out his property in Beverley Manor.
I'll take one last stab at establishing that there were two different Robert Ramsey's in Early Augusta County, since I feel this is an important point to establish for other researchers.
1. Robert Ramsey "of the Great River of Cowpasture" died on 10 Oct, 1759 in the Indian Raid on Kerr's Creek, which is now in Rockbridge County.
2. Robert Ramsey "of Beverley Manor" had already moved and acquired land in Anson County, North Carolina by 1753:
Acquisition of land in Anson County:
No. 49 - Robert RAMSEY, 310 Acres, Grant No. 6, Issued March 31, 1753, Book No. 2, Page No. 21. Location: N side of CATAWBA River on the fork of S Fork of TWELVE MILE Creek above an INDIAN path. (From Anson County Warrants, Surveys and Related Documents,
Disposition of Beverley Manor land in 1762:
Page 506.--18th August, 1762. Robert Ramsey and Margaret, of Anson County in North Carolina, to James Henry, £70, 340 acres in Beverley Manor, cor. Samuel Huston; cor. Robert Alexander and Patrick Hays; cor. Wm. Purris. Acknowledged and privy examination. Delivered: Samuel Henry, 21st June, 1771.
It should be obvious that the latter record of Robert Ramsey of Beverley Manor, disposing the land in Beverley Manor, is three years after the death of Robert Ramsey of the Great River of Cowpasture, which proves the fact of two different (and apparently unrelated) Ramsey families in Early Augusta County.
I have detailed both of these families at the WeRelate website:
