William Ramsey ca. Civil War, from Ohio to Indiana
My great-grandfather Benjamin Franklin Ramsey (1852-1934) lived in Chillicothe, Ohio at the end of his life. His parentage is somewhat a mystery. His father left him with a farm family as a child to work on the farm and apparently his father went on to Indiana (After the Civil War?) He told one of my Uncles when my Uncle was a child that his father sent for him but he wasn't going to go help his father raise "another" family. On his death certificate his father is listed as Thomas and his mother as Unknown. A cousin found a marriage certificate and on it his father is listed as William. Perhaps his father was William Thomas Ramsey but I trust the marriage certificate rather than the death certificate. Maybe his father was just William Ramsey. I know at one time some of the Ramsey's in Chillicothe Ohio communicated with some of the Ramsey's in Indiana but we have lost contact. My mother is Beatrice Jane Ramsey, daughter of Amos Anrew Ramsey, son of Benjamin Franklin Ramsey, son of the William?Thomas we are trying to find. I know there is a place in Indiana that was apparently "settled" by Ramseys. Can you help? Byron N. Park, [email protected]
