From History of Maries Co by King(Page 662) "Robert S. (Billy) Ramsey, the remaining child of Robert L. Ramsey, was born 16 July 1859, and died 5 February 1912. His first wife was Kate, Daughter of Micaiah Williams, and the mother of one son, Clay Ramsey, now in Oregon; his second wife was Effie Williams, sister of his first wife, who survives him and now lives in Columbia, Illinois. Of the twelve children born to them, Lottie, wife of Ben Bumpass, son of Oliver P;, lives in California. The others are Earl, Roy, Mary, Myrtle, Glady, Jennie, Louis, James, Ray, Jacob and one more girl who name has not been received. Most, if not all, of the girls are married, and some of the children live in St. Louis and most of them live around Columbia".
