James Ramey was commissioned an officer in the War of 1812. In 1820 he and Elizabeth moved to Howard CO, MO. The next year sold a tract of land in KY, inherited from his father. In 1822 they moved to Pettis CO, which was then a part of Saline CO, MO. In 1826 they moved to Saline CO, MO. On January 26, 1823, Pettis CO was formed, including the part of Saline county belonging to the Rameys.
He operated the first grist-mill in Pettis CO on the banks of Muddy Creek, at St. Helena, popularly called Pin-Hook. He was the first Judge of Pettis CO. On 3 Oct 1833 he purchased 40 acres of SW1/4 of SW 1/4 of sec 16 T46 R 21 from C. M. Craven, the Sheriff of Pettis CO and another 40 acres was purchased by James Ramey and Thomas Wasson, the SE1/4 of SW1/4 of the same section. This 80 acres was divided into lots and was the beginning of the town of Georgetown, Missouri.
James Ramey's brother, William R. Ramey, married Eleanor Harrison. She was the sister of William Henry Harrison, who became the Ninth President of the United States.
James Ramey died at the age of 53 in early July 1848. He left a great deal of property and his slaves, valued at $2800 were not to be sold, but divided between his children. James and Elizabeth are buried in Ramey Cemetery, Cedar Twp, Pettis County Missouri, Section 20(NW), Twp 46T, R21W, TW Cloney land in 1964. Now owned by Charles Curry 2000. These graves are on land that was entered by James Ramey and was their original home in Georgetown. It is just SW of the town of Georgetown, now part of the Curry Farm. Transcribed by Laura Paxton. Also buried in the cemetery are: Ramey, Polly, d/o K & E, b. Dec 9 1832, d. Sep 21 1839 Ramey, Inf, s/o D F & Anna Forbes, b. & d. Jan 1851. I am uncertain about the parents of these children.
James Ramey was a Judge, he had a Grist and Saw mill along Muddy Creek in the northeast part of Pettis County, Missouri, about eight miles from the town of Sedalia. In 1819 the first white settlers strode through the County's sweeping waist-high prairie grass, the land was deceptively beautiful, but it soon became apparent that anything to be obtained from the land would have to be wrested from it. For James and Elizabeth Ramey, the prospects of doing that was no chore, but rather a challenge. And so, by the time Pettis County was created over 160 years ago the couple had established a thriving grist and saw mill along Muddy Creek in the northeast part of the county, about eight miles from the future site of Sedalia.
This mill formed the hub of Saint Helean, or "Pin Hook", as the County's first seat of government. According to the old records the first sessions of the County Court and Circuit Court were held in the Ramey's home in 1833. Later the county seat was relocated in Georgetown, but the court was convened in the Ramey-Wasson Mill. A historic site marker has been placed at the site of the St. Helean, Wasson-Ramey Mill, it is now an archeological site of the Sedalia Focus. (Jayson Green)
