MCDOWELL, RAMSEY, STACEY posted by Robert E. Ramsey-Lewis on Friday, February 2, 2001: I am researching a book on my family (BATES, NESOM, RAMSEY and STACEY), focusing on their role in the American western movement. My research has lead me to Missouri (MO) based on birthplaces and some skimpy family documents. I am seeking a link to E. R. McDowell, my great-grandfather (I don’t have a first or middle name for McDowell). He is my father’s biological father. I have the following facts: 1. My grandmother was Gladys Pearl Stacey, b. February 05, 1915 in Globe, Gila County, Arizona, d. April 16, 1981 in Prescott, Arizona; 2. Gladys left AZ, probably in 1932-33, following her graduation from high school in Clifton, AZ. She went to live with STACEY relatives in MO. 3. Gladys then met and married E.R. McDowell in MO. 4. Her son (my father) Robert Eldon Ramsey was born between 1933 and 1936 in MO. She then returned to Arizona. 5. My grandmother married H.S. Ramsey in January 20, 1936 in Safford, Gila County, Arizona 6. My father assumed the surname Ramsey. Finally, it is reported that E.R. McDowell was shot and killed by police in the early 1930s. However, we have not been able to verify this family rumor and don’t know what happened to McDowell. We are working to document our family, and had no idea we had a McDowell line. Perhaps you can help us by pointing us in the right direction. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated to resolve this mystery.
