My last post is not complete without finishing up with the children and descendants of Frank Ramsey.
By 1910, the family would relocate to High Point, in Guilford County, and William was established as Barber in his own shop. Two more children, sons Clyde and James had joined the family, and taking a clue from his in-laws, the Smiths took in boarders.
Originally, P. A. Surratt had tried his hand at being a merchant in the bustling Railroad Town of Salisbury, North Carolina.
After a devastating fire with no insurance, he decided to find greener pastures than the verdant green ones of Southern Davidson County, and relocated to Texas. The 1900 census would find him in McKinley, Collins County, Texas boarding with a Harrison family and working as a Teamster. Other teamsters lived there too, with a number of dressmakers. P. A. Surratt, however, did not marry while a young man in Texas.
Charlie and his family remained in Salisbury until at least 1935. He took up truck driving and relocated to Bessamer City in Gaston County, North Carolina, where he raised 3 daughters and passed away in 1966.
Samuel Lee Ramsey died at the young age of 46 in Salisbury. He was found dead on his porch and cause of death could not be determined. Geneva never remarried and lived a long life, passing in 1973 with 2 of her 4 children surviving.
The children of Samuel Ramsey and wife Geneva Loflin Ramsey were:
Coy Ray Ramsey 1903-1957
Frank Thomas Ramsey 1905- 1966
Ruth O Ramsey Davis 1906 - 1989
Fred James Ramsey 1909 - 1986
The Louise E Ramsey shown in the above census, was not a daughter, but Louise E. Odell Ramsey, the young wife of Fred J Ramsey.
To recap, John Franklin Ramsey was the son of Samuel Ramsey and Rebecca Helms Ramsey of Stanly County. His grandfather was Starky "Stark" Ramsey of Anson County, North Carolina.
He married Joyce Ann Redwine, daughter of James M. and Marinda Hall Redwine of the Fork Community in neighboring Montgomery County on November 22, 1868.
Frank and Joicy, as they were known, had 4 children together before Frank passed away in 1882.
The four children were Ella Jane, Sarah Elizabeth "Lizzie", Willie Mae and Samuel Lee. They had all arrived by the 1880 census.

Frank farmed just outside the borders of the then fledgling town of Albemarle, North Carolina. The area would now be considered part of Albemarle.
After her husbands demise, Joyce Ann would sell her property and along with an inheritance from her father, who passed away in 1899, bought a house on South Main Street between Salisbury and Spencer, in Rowan County. There, her children worked in the textile mills and Joicy took in boarders to stay afloat.
The above map shows the exact spot that Joicy Ann relocated her family to, following some of her siblings to Salisbury.

The 1900 census shows Joicy living with 3 of her children, her brother and niece and 3 boarders. Her daughter Lizzie also had her oldest child, son Charlie by that time as well.
Daughter Willie Mae, however was not in the picture. She had probably followed her mother, siblings and uncles to Rowan County, as she married in that county in 1898.

By 1900, their first child, Nessie was born, and William R. was working along with much of Willie's family in the Cotton Mill. He did not prefer that profession, however, and most of his life was spent as a barber.

According to the papers, he visited home often and also worked in Virginia in those days. Several little mentions were made in
The Dispatch
(Lexington, North Carolina) of his visits.
In the 1910 Census, he was living in Fort Worth and working as a Carpenter in the Building industry.
One particular visit in 1897 must have been particularly interesting. Perhaps he stayed in the boarding house of Mrs Joicy Ann Ramsey and her daughters, while visiting family in Salisbury and met the charming Lizzie.
The Dispatch
(Lexington, North Carolina)14 April 1897 • Page 4
By 1909, Pegram A. Surratt switched careers from being a carpenter to being a Hog Farmer. After the 1910 census, we know he made another crucial visit to North Carolina.
After the marriage, the Surratts, with young Charlie, returned to Texas and back to the hogs.
Pegram and Lizzie only had one daughter after their 1910 marriage. Ida Mae Surratt, named probably for her fathers older sister, was born on August 27, 1911, a year after her parents marriage, in Fort Worth, Texas. Her mother was 41 and her father 44. There advanced age was probably the reason for the small family of 4.
Lizzie, who had spent most of her formative years in town, was a city girl, perhaps, and maybe, most of all was homesick for family. At any rate, by 1920, she had convinced Pegram to try his hand merchanting again and the family had moved in with Lizzie's mother at the boarding house, located between Salisbury and Spencer.
Pegram was listed in the business directories as a Grocer and Lizzie as a grocery clerk.
