"Captain T. J. Ramsey

[Special to the Picayune]

Hazlehurst, Miss., Sept. 18 - Captain T. J. Ramsey, a highly-respected citizen of this county, departed this life at his home, eleven miles east of here, yesterday, at the ripe old age of 79 years, and he was buried at Bethel church to-day. The deceased was a man of exemplary character and singular purity of life. He was a veteran of two wars, he having served with distinction in both the Mexican and Civil wars, and but for his advancing years he would have served his country in the last Spanish war. he attained the rank of captain in the civil war. He was one of the patriarchs of the county, and for more than half a century his name has been a synonym of rugged integrity and exalted patriotism. About fifty years ago he married his present wife, and eighteen children were the fruit of their union, sixteen of whom, with his widow, still survive him. He was the father of Hon. J. L. Ramsey, of this place."

Notes for WILLIAM RAMSEY:

Ramsey, A. C., Memoirs of a Methodist Circuit Rider, p. 9.

*Grandfather Ramsey's ancestors were from Scotland, and belonged to the old Covenantaers and of course his religious training was in that school of Calvinist Theology.

They were both brought up and raised strict Presbyterians particularly Father, whose Father was of the strictest and straightest sect; so much so, that when there was a split in that church on the subject of Psalmody and causing the organization of that branch known as the "Seceders."Grandfather Ramsey adhered to them and was so opposed to the use of Dr. Watts' version of the Psalms, except Rouse's, I heard father say that he threatened to burn Watts; if it was brought into his house.But I believe he finally gave up those notions and affiliated with the presbyterians.My mothers parents were of the same faith and order but not as strenuous as Grandfather Ramsey.

My impression is they both united with the Methodist church before they left Georgia, and brought with them their certificates of membership to their new home.

A.C. Ramsey, Memoirs of a Methodist Circuit Rider, p. 21.

In the Fall of 1818 I think it was, he (William Ramsey, Jr. b. Mecklenburg County m. Nancy Elizabeth Huey)with Brother Andrew made a visit to Tennessee, to see his Father (William Ramsey, SR. m. Jemima) and relations; and on his return brought with him a nephew, William N. Gracey, a son of one of his sisters; who remained with us the next year, at our next home on the Pascagoula River, and which refreshes my memory so that from this circumstance I know that his visit to Tennessee was in 1818.

Original documentation shows that the two brothers who came to MS, William and Noah, were the sons of William Ramsey b. 18 Feb. 1743 in Baltimore Co. MD and d. Aft. 1805 in Oglethorpe Co. GA. His wife was Jemima. That much was OK, but William (b. 1743) was one of six children of John Ramsey, Jr. and his wife, Johanna Stewart (Johanna was the widow of William Poteet). John Jr. died Abt. 1805 in Columbia Co. GA. John Jr. was the son of John Sr. from Pennsylvania.

The Samuel Ramsey who died in the American Revolution was John Jr.'s nephew--the son of his brother, Randolph Ramsey.

Children of WILLIAM RAMSEY and JEMIMA are:

2. i. WILLIAM4 RAMSEY , JR., b. July 27, 1770, Meclenburg, NC; d. July 19, 1833, Red Creek, Stone, MS.

ii. NOAH W. RAMSEY, b. June 1768, Mecklenbert, NC; d. October 02, 1853, Old Gallatin, MS; m. MARY ELIZABETH DEARING, December 14, 1810, Georgia.

3. iii. SISTER RAMSEY m. Gracey, had son William M. Gracey
