    Hi John:
    I see you took an interest in my family. Was Cephus your great grandfather? I didn't realize he was 13 years older than my great grandmother. My grandmother's name was Mamie Lavenia Davis ( Ella's daughter). Bradley ( Ella's) son died in Virginia in a Nursing home in Chesapeake in 1976 and his sister my grandmother died in a nursing home in 1993 in Chesapeake, Virginia also . Both my grandmother's children William Carroll Ramsey and Donald Earl Ramsey died within two years of each other. My father was the oldest William Carroll Ramsey and he died July 4, 2007 and his brother Donald died August 21, 2008 I believe. Bradley and his wife had no children. I do not know why my great grandmother dropped the last name Buck. I do know that after Cephus died she live in New Jersey and Virginia. Her children shared responsibility of taking care of her until her death in 1960. She was a sweet lady what I remember of her and a Christian woman too. If you would like to send me more info on my great grandmother feel free to do so. I would love to know more about her.
    In the census of 1930 you mention a W.C. Ramsey that was my grandfather's name. His real name was Willie Carroll Ramsey he was born in August 1891 and died in November 1942. I never meet him because I was born in 1955.

    Best Wishes,
    Constance ...
