Thanks for the info. Can you tell me how far that is from the Kentucky border? Around the Jenkins, Ky/Pound, Va area? That’s where some of my family lived. I would like to know where Ramage is, I never knew my great-grandmother & I think that is where she was from.
Alicewonders:
It is approximately 50 miles or so from Ramage in Boone County WV to the KY border with WV at Williamson. It is Pike County KY when you cross the border. Jenkins KY is about 100 to 110 miles from Ramage WV, driving through Williamson and Pikeville KY. This is Hatfield and McCoy country!
If you have ancestors from anywhere in the SW VA, E KY, or S WV area, I have access to a huge gen database which one of my cousins maintains; it probably has over 100K individuals listed. If you are interested, and you want to me to look up some surnames, I would be pleased to help. Alternately, I could arrange for you to get access to the database. More than likely, if your great grandmother lived in the Ramage area, there will be info available.
