Dorothy,

I'm not sure if I've contacted you but we most certainly could have responded to other Ramsey postings. I was looking at your Ramsey family at your web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnsumner/ramsey.htm You list Sarah Fulton Ramsey as the daughter to William & Diana Ramsey.

Have you looked at where Sarah got her middle name, Fulton? Could it be from Martha Fulton, mother to Mary Steele wife of Andrew Ramsey b abt 174

Descendants of Martha Fulton

I just was wondering if this could be your Ramsey family? The time line looks good for one of the three younger sons to have been William Ramsey father. I saw an Elizabeth Ramsey in the 1830 Sumner Co. Census that is the right age to also be connected as the wife of one of the three sons.

I'm not sure if I sent you the information about the Ramsey DNA testing currently underway but take a look at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ramsey/indexDNA.html

If your not already participating I would like encourage you to have a Ramsey male submit a DNA sample to narrow the search.

As an added point of interest I just came across Philander Ramsey in my line born in the 1840s. I apologize if I can't remember our correspondence but I've reached that age.
