(To accompany bill H. R. No. 485.)
June 17, 1846.
Mr. PARISH, from the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, made the following
REPORT:
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to whom was referred the matter of Edith Ramey, having the same under consideration, report:
That from the papers on file, it appears that John Ramey, deceased, was a soldier of the Revolution, and, as such, received a pension until his death, in July, 1834; that the petitioner, Edith Ramey, intermarried with the said John Ramey, at Fauquier county, in the State of Virginia, in the month of March, 1776. She remains a widow, without being married since the death of her husband, John Ramey, but she is unable to give a statement of the services of her husband, or produce any record evidence of her marriage, which seems to be, by the regulations of the War Department, objections to her being placed on the pension-roll. The evidence in the case satisfies the committee that the deceased husband was a soldier, and entitled to the pension which he received, and that he and the petitioner were lawfully married; they therefore report a bill for her relief.

In re: Sanford, Elias and John Ramey-
War of Revolution.

You are advised that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services and a careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of Elias and Sanford Ramey, under any spelling of that surname. You are herewith furnished the history of the only soldier of the Revolution named John Ramey, found on said records.
From the papers in the pension claim, W. File 11104, it appears that John Ramey or Remay, enlisted in Culpeper County, Virginia, in March 1776 and served as a private for one year in Captain John Gillison's Company of the tenth Virginia Regiment and that later, date not stated he was drafted in the Virginia Militia and served two
Page 44

months in Captain Grigsby's Company. He was engaged in the battle of White Plains.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 1, 1818, while living in Muskingum County, Ohio aged about sixty-five years, where he died July 27, 1834.
He married in Fauquier County, Virginia in March 1776, Edith Browning, she was allowed pension on her application executed September 25, 1837, while living in Hopewell Township, Muskingum County, Ohio, aged eighty-four years.
They had nine children, eight of them were alive in 1844, the only name stated being Alexander.

Dear Sir
I am trying to complete a family record and require only the War record of one John Ramey a soldier in the War of the Revolution and, of course, am making every effort possible to do so. After completing the genealogy of the Ramey family I find that my Great grandfather was none other than the John Ramey above referred to. Then I wrote to the War Dept. in Washington for his War Record and they very kindly sent me what they had and advised me that I might get additional proof from your office and am inclosing the same letter I wrote them that you may get the same explanation from me that they did.
Hoping I may get the required information from you I am, sir,
Very Sincerely,

My dear Sir:
Mr. Chester Palmer of Malta, Ohio, is desirous of securing as much information as possible in regard to the service of his Great Grandfather Ramey, given name not known but thought to have been Sanford, Elias or John, who served in the Revolutionary Army. The War Department advises as follows:
"The records show that one John Ramey, or Remey, served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Captain John Gillison's Co., 6th Virginia Regiment, commanded successively by Colonels William Russell and John Green. He was drafted February 10, 1778, for one year and was discharged February 17, 1779. The place of his residence is not shown."
"The records also show that one John Raimy, rank not stated served in that war as a member of Captain John Gillison's Company, 10th Virginia Regiment. His name is found only on a roll dated September 10, 1778, which shows that he was enlisted or drafted February 10, 1778, for one year, but affords no further information relative to him".
Kindly advise if there are any records in the Bureau that would show the place of residence of either the soldiers above referred to, or any other information that might be of interest.
Respectfully yours,

Your petitioner Edith Ramey, respectfully represent, that she is the widow of John Ramey, late a Revolutionary pensioner of the United States, that petioner and the said John Ramey was in conformity to the laws of Virginia, legally married in the County of Fauquier State of Virginia in March 1776, that previous to their marriage the said John Ramey procured a marriage license from the proper authority of said County, that they were married by the late Revd. W. Thompson an Episcopal Minister, that she has made due diligence to obtain from his papers the necessary evidence of marriage from his record, but was informed by his family, that an insane son of his had destroyed his Fathers Marriage record, Your petitioner made search in the Clerks office of Fauquier County, and was informed that the record of marriages in that Year was lost or distroyed, as will more fully appear by reference to the Clerks certificate, which she prays may be made a part of her petition: She admits that in 1837 she did make a declaration or application for the benefit of the act of Congress of July 4, 1836, in which declaration or petition, an error was made by the person who drafted the said declaration, in which she is made to say, that their marriage took place in 1778, when in truth and in fact, it ought to have been in 1776, which error or mistake your petitioner hopes will not injure this her application petitioner is at this time in her ninety-fourth year of her age, and verily believes that it will not be long, that she should receive the benefit of a pension, if she should obtain her request; petitioner is supported by her son, having no means of her own to support her, She desires that all the papers in the case may be drawn from the pension office, together with those on which her husband obtained his pension certificate may be submitted to a committee and such action had on her application as justice requires.
