Ramsay, Neil - Lot 18
Birth Name | Ramsay, Neil - Lot 18 |
Gender | male |
Age at Death | about 57 years |
Narrative
Son of Neil Ramsay and Mary Cole.
Date of birth for Neil is a guess. I'm assuming he wouldn't have been much older than his wife. We do know that he was under 16 in 1798, or born between 1782-1798.
Elizabeth (Betsy), (CHILD OF DUNCAN AND JANET (GREGOR) MCCALLUM)
b. ca. 1795; living 2 July 1842; m. in 1821 Neil Ramsay, Jr. of Malpeque, son of Neil and Mary (Cole) Ramsay of Lot 18 and grandson of John and Mary Ramsay.
The History of Hamilton says that Neil and Betsey had 3 sons, John, Edward and James. The son named James described in this book was the son of Neil and Barbara (Patriquin) Ramsay; no records can be found for Edward or James, although there are a couple of "spare" Edward Ramsays that I can't definitely place in a family.
The will of Neil from Lot 18 with wife Elizabeth was proved in 1846 (Will R-28). Only a son John and wife Elizabeth were named in this will. If James and Edward were older than their brother John and already settled, that wouldn't be unusual, but it would be unusual for a father not to mention any younger children. What would also be unusual is for Elizabeth, if she did have 3 sons, to have not named at least one of them Duncan, after her father.
Elizabeth left the Island with her son son John around 1864. They went to Wisconsin, where they can be found in census records in 1870 and 1880.
