General Notes: Husband - Alexander Murray Ramsey


He moved to Jackson, Miss., about 1851-2, where he was superintendent of a large lumber company and steam sawmill until 1860. Having bought a farm in Burnett County, Texas, he moved there in the spring of 1861, where he engaged in sheep husbandry and farming and eventually in the nursery business, which was quite a success.
