Hi Janet,
Our paths have crossed before (Elizabeth Snyder and William Kerr). Now I am
also descended from Phillip Ramp and Elizabeth Markward. I'm sorry I don't
know who her parents were either. I would love to hear from other Ramps. My
g grandparents were George and Susan Almeda (Spitler) Ramp.

Subject: [INWHITLE] Elizabeth (Markward) RAMP (1795-1868), w/o Philip
In the Whitley Co. IN bio [which is also posted to the Cumberland Co.
PA
site] of their son PHILIP RAMP who ran a saw-mill and planning mill, it
stated that:
"Philip and Elizabeth (Markward) Ramp, were natives of Cumberland County,
Penn., and came to Troy (now Richland) Township, this county, and settled
on
a farm in 1853, where the mother died in 1869. The father died while
on a
visit to Pennsylvania in 1863."
The parents are buried in the Masonic Section of Greenhill Columbia City
but
apparently did NOT come in 1853 since they neither appeared on the
1860
census nor are shown on the 1862 plat of Troy. They were dead by the
1870.
Their nephew Samuel Markward Jr. and his wife Mary C Cockley (married 1854
in Richland Co. OH where their parents were living) showed up in the 1870
census in the planning mill business. They must have moved on -not buried
Whitley Co.
Who were the parents of Elizabeth (Markward) Ramp (1795-1868) and her
brother Samuel Markward Sr (1799-aft 1883+)?
I was contacted by a descendant of Samuel Markward Sr. and wife Polly
Browneller while researching the Brownellers. He saw the posting of the
Ramp
biography on the Cumberland Co. PA site where the Ramp, Markward,
Browneller
(and Terman) family came from. He would like to get in contact with
Ramp
descendants.
