41. Leah Jean ADAIR (Joseph Alexander , Thomas , Alexander , Jean , Robert , William , Ninian , William , Ninian , Alexander , William , Niegello , Robert FitzGerald de ) was born about 1738 in Chester, PA.
Leah married John RAMAGE on 4 Dec 1774 in Laurens, SC. John was born about 1738.
John Ramage, thought to have been born during the 1720's, settled in Laurens County, South Carolina during the mid-1760's. The earliest reference of John Ramage being in what is now Laurens County, South Carolina is a petition made by John on 2 December 1766 for 200 acres of land. In 1768, John Vaughn received 150 acres “butting and bounding to the south on land laid out for John Ramage.” This land was located on Warriors Creek in the northern part of what is now Laurens County, South Carolina (Colonial Plats, Volume 14, page 534). Records in 1770, would indicate that John Ramage never took procession of the land which had been surveyed for him on Warriors Creek. A Memorial of 500 acres presented to Edward Garrett in 1770 was described as being located in the forks between the Broad and Saluda Rivers including a “former survey laid out for John Ramage on a branch of Enoree River called Warriors Creek” (Memorials, Volume 10, page 299, from roll 881, AD 647). In 1773, John Ramage received a Royal Grant consisting of 500 acres of land located near Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church. The land had been surveyed in 1772 and the grant was signed in 1773. This land was also located near the land granted to Joseph Adair (Index to Memorial Grants, South Carolina Archives, Volume 28, page 112). John Ramage's wife was named Jean (sometimes listed as Jane). She appeared on the estate settlement of Joseph Adair (ca. 1790) as being his daughter. We do not know the birth date of Jean (Jane) Adair Ramage. It appears that John Ramage had children during the 1750's (maybe as early as 1747) before they migrated to South Carolina. This has led some to wonder if Jean was John's second wife. Documentation has been found that would indicate that the following were children of John Ramage: Mary Ramage Dillard, Benjamin Ramage, and Josiah Ramage. While we think that it is possible that James Ramage and/or Capt. Joseph Ramage were sons of John Ramage, we have found no document that would substantiate this. We would hope to find a legal document that will list all of the children of John Ramage. During the late 1980's, documents were found that would prove that John Ramage of Laurens District, South Carolina was an American Patriot during the American Revolution. These documents confirmed that John Ramage was among the Laurens District Patriots who were part of the American invasion of East British Florida during 1778. Later John Ramage signed a petition to the Governor of South Carolina in support of his Colonel, James Williams, prior to the Battle of Kings Mountain. John and Jean Adair Ramage's family was listed on the 1800 Laurens County, South Carolina census. They were never listed on another census, which leads us to believe they both died during the first decade of the 1800's. At this time we have been unable to find a will or an estate settlement for either John or Jean Adair Ramage. In 1990, a monument in memory of John Ramage and his family was erected at the Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Laurens County, South Carolina.
John and Leah had the following children:
