My name is Rebecca Ramsey and I am searching for the ancestors and
descendants of Isaac Ramsey and Barbara Keener.

Isaac was born in 1817 and is probably the son of Daniel George Ramsey and
Susannah Wise. I have his birth place listed as Lycoming County, PA but have
not been able to verify this.

Barbara Keener was born in 1822 in Taylor County, Kentucky. They were
reportedly married August 9, 1838 in Mercer, Pennsylvania, but I'm having a
difficult time finding their marriage record.

I have found Barbara and Isaac in the following census records:
1840 - Springfield Township, Mercer County, PA
1850 - Mill Creek Township, Mercer Co., PA
1860 - Mill Creek Township, Mercer Co., PA.

Isaac reportedly died on Oct. 26, 1866. I'm assuming he died in Mill Creek
Township, but need some help in verifying this. I would also like to know
where he is buried????

Isaac and Barbara had the following children:

Daniel K. Ramsey (b. 1839),
Isaac Jr. Ramsey (b. 1843),
Susannah Ramsey (b. 1844),
John Ramsey (b. 1846),
Peter Ramsey (b. 1848),
George Ramsey (b. 1851),
Elizabeth Ramsey (b. 1854),
William H. Ramsey (b. 1856),
James A. Ramsey (b. 1858), my great grandfather
Jacob F. Ramsey (b. 1860),
Mary M. Ramsey (b. 1862), and
Charles W. Ramsey (b. 1866).

James Alexander Ramsey was 8 years old when his father, Isaac, died and I
believe that his mother, Barbara Keener Ramsey, may have moved back to Taylor
County, Kentucky shortly thereafter.

I found James in the 1900 Taylor County, Kentucky Census with his wife, Sarah
A. (Sanders) Ramsey and children.

I know the information is out there - somewhere - I just need to know where
to look for it. I'll gladly share information (and sources). Thanks for
whatever help you can provide.
