In regard to Sarah Wood Ramey, she was on the 1880 census in Jackson County in Owen
Township as a widow. I have a copy of a photo from another researcher made about 1890
showing four daughters of Daniel and Sarah Ramey Wood. Sarah Wood Ramey was one of them.
FYI, I believe James Ramey and Sarah Wood were first cousins. I am a descendent of Daniel
Wood and Sarah Ramey, parents of Sarah Wood and my great grandfather, George Wood. Contact
