FOUNTAIN CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY, CULLEOKA, MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE

Genealogy of this Ramsey family provided by Charlotte.

William and Ann Ramsey migrated from Mecklenburg County, North Carolina to Wilkes County, Georgia about 1784. They settled in the part of Wilkes County that became Oglethorpe County in 1793. They moved again about 1808/09 to Maury County, Tennessee. William Ramsey bought land from John Blair, 26 Feb 1809, 200 acres lying on both side of Fountain Creek in Maury County.
