General Notes: Husband - Robert Ramsey

Hanover Twp, Washington Co, PA

He lived near Florence, on King's Creek. He was one of the pioneers of western Pennsylvania, and was of Scotch descent.
He and his wife had fourteen children, all of whom lived to maturity.

Several years before the close of the eighteenth century, with his wife, family and few earthly possessions, he made the long and tedious journey over the mountains, locating on Peters creek, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. In 1799 they settled in Hanover township, on the farm which was later the home of their grandson, Thomas. Here they resided during the rest of their lives, and became prosperous. In politics he was a stanch Democrat. He was one of the founders of the Seceder Congregation at Kings Creek, of which he was an earnest member and an elder. Six sons and nine daughters were born to these pioneers, of whom the youngest died at the age of thirty-seven years, the first of the children to pass away. All were married excepting Nancy.
