There is a Nancy Ramsey buried in the same plot in Green-Wood as Andrew Ramsey..Also a daughter of A. Ramsey in the same plot....
Theres another Andrew Ramsey b. Jun. 14, 1833 d. Jul. 26, 1850 in Union Cemetery, Bergen Co., NJ with a sister  Hannah 1831-1831 . Believe that would be Hoboken.

I'd like to track down the maiden of this Nancy, since we have a Nancy Hogg/Hoag, the only remaining child of Thomas and Martha Brown Hoag that I havent been able to track down.

Just a few bits-

1878 directory- Hoboken: Andrew Ramsey, 29 Clinton, carpenter

1880 census- Hoboken, Hudson, N.J.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MN86-JHH
Andrew Ramsey, 45, Ire., carpenter
wife Margaret Ramsey, 40, Ire.
dau. Annie Ramsey, 22, Ire. (think she's the Nancy Ramsey buried in Green-Wood in Sept.1895)

1885 N.J. State Census-
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6TJ6-GN2

Death- Andrew Ramsey, 71, b.Ire., re. 20 yrs in NJ, died 21 Oct.1895 Hoboken, NJ, wid.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FZ4B-2YK

Probate records 30 July 1897 Andrew Ramsey (there was a Will but I haven't found it yet)

Just to confuse matters more, there was at least one other Andrew Ramsey born in Ireland around the same time living in NY

Hello! I've loved reading all this information! Mary Brown Hazlett, first daughter of Robert and Jane Brown, is my third great-grandmother. Mary married Thomas Hazlett (9 June 1803-14 March 1896) on March 26, 1826, and had 14 children. Their ninth child, Samuel (1846-1921) is my great-great-grandfather. He married Catherine Torrens and they had one son named Samuel, but later he married Nancey (Knox, maybe?) around 1875. Samuel and Nancey lived in Moneydig and also had 14 children, and of course, named all of their children after his siblings. Their tenth child, Mary (21 April 1889 - 26 Feb 1968), married my great-grandfather, Walter Smyth (18 August 1883-27 August 1964). Walter and Mary moved from Ireland to the Philadelphia area in 1907 and had two children. Then they came back to Ireland around 1915, had two more children (one of whom is my grandfather, William Smyth [4 October 1920-22 December 1984]), then in 1922, went back to PA and had another daughter.

I thought I'd try to fill in some blanks about Robert and Jane's children, especially since there didn't seem to be a lot of information about Mary Brown Hazlett. Not sure if it helps at all!

Good to hear from another descendant. Something funny about family history; yesterday, not having looked at Rootschat in a month or more, I tidied my desk and found a note about the Brown-Hazlett marriage in a printout of an email from another Browne descendant; I realised I hadn't entered the new information, so I worked for an hour yesterday on them, filling in the gaps. Lo and behold, another email last evening, from the same correspondent, alerting me to the Rootschat new message. What is going on! Anyway, it's good to meet a relative. Those Hazletts are well linked into my Torrens lines already; now I see the relationship comes through the Browns as well. I will have a look again at  what you say are two marriages to Torrens and Knox. Do you know who Catherine T.'s parents were? Also, where was Walter Smyth from?

Welcome to Rootschat, jennabtn  :)

Not sure if you have any of this from Barbara who visited us probably 10 years or so ago when Joe Smyth was alive but...

Walter Arthur Smith married Mary Morrison Hazlett (her parents both died 1921 so perhaps that's why they returned to America?), son of William Smith (17 Mar.1860-16 Aug.1924) & Mary Anne Johnston (22 June 1858-19 Oct.1940. William's parents were Walter Smith & Helen Smith (yes, her maiden name was Smith) from Scotland.

Have lots on the Hazletts but it's downstairs at the moment. Will try to remember to look out that file later.

I have just realised that for some reason Rootschat hasn't been notifying me of posts in the threads that I have been following. So I haven't seen the other replies in this thread since the start of the summer at least. I'll take a while to look carefully at everything posted. Thanks everyone! (I had the Notify button appropriately marked, and up until now I did get notifications. Not sure what has gone wrong)

Hello jennabtn It's nice to meet another cousin! I am descended from Martha Brown, the third daughter of Robert Brown and Jane Henery. Thanks for your information. I did have some of it already but not much on Mary's family that traveled to the US.  Martha and her husband Thomas Hogg (Hoag in the US) and children immigrated to NYC in 1848. Ive been able to find most of Robert's daughters with the help of Irish Lynn also on this thread, and where they wound up. If you're an ancestry user I have my tree  (public) listed under cheryl17854   both Irish Lynn and I have also done the DNA test with Ancestry as well. There are pictures of your Mary and Thomas online there....is that your tree?

Hi Jennabtn,

Irish Lynn here.  I am a relative of Robert Brown and Jane Henery Brown.  Their 3rd daughter, Martha Brown married Thomas Hogg from Caheny and immigrated to New York City in 1848.  Jersey ties and I are cousins via our great, great grandparents who were siblings and children of Thomas and Martha Brown Hoag.  I am the great grand daughter of Sarah Hoag who was born here in the USA after the family immigrated. She married Thomas Boyd Heaney who was the son of John Heaney from Cullycapple.  Welcome to the family!  As Jersey ties mentioned , I have had my DNA test and my tree is public. 
I would love to spend more time doing the research, but I still have a day job so have to grab time to work on this when I can. I will add your nfo. On Mary Brown and the Hazletts if I don’t have it. Thanks!
