William B. Ramey m. Martha Bailey Rogers
According to a write up by Carsley United Methodist Church:
John Nicholas Ramey was born February 6, 1830 and died January 25, 1907. He was the son of W. B. Ramey, Sr.
and Martha Bailey Rogers (daughter of Micajah Rogers) all of Surry County, Virginia.
John Ramey owned a store across from Carsley Church on Route 615. The land across Route 615 where Ramey's Store was built was part of a large parcel of 1375 acres patented by John Parson on January 30, 1736 and ultimately sold to Samuel Adams and then to Miles T. Burgess on August 30, 1833. It then became part of Shady Grove Farm, the original site of Ramey's Store.
(Presently, the Ramey's Store, which was moved next to the Carsley Church, serves as a Sunday School, Bible Study and Fellowship Hall for Carsley Church.)
In the War Between the States, John Ramey was in Company G, 13th Virginia Calvary. He fought in the battle of Fredericksburg, Gettysburg,
Wilderness, Petersburg, and Richmond. He was at Appomatox with General Lee at the surrender.
After the surrender at Appomatox, he brought back to Surry County a wounded Private named Magnus S. Wilcox. Ramey's daughter, Sarah Cornelia eventually married Magnus Wilcox, and they had two sons, John Wilcox, who owned Shady Grove, and Edward Lester Wilcox, who owned Bowling Green. Magnus and Sarah's daughter, Lorina Wilcox who married Jimmy Leath lived at the Ramey family home.
After Magnus Wilcox died, Sarah Cornelia married Mr. Cooper. Their daughter, Susie Cooper married Kelly Bishop.
