Classification: Query
Surnames: Reamy, Remy, Carter, Calawn, Holliday, Hudson, Owens, Hutt
I'm back in the research game, and wanted to share a note I was given by a cousin I visited two years ago. This was written by her mother... I don't know all her sources, but she was the grand-daughter of James I. Remy (according to Rick Ramey the alleged son of Rev. James I. Reamy). I hope that by sharing this it may spark something in you other researchers and maybe we can solve the mysteries surrounding Rev. James I. Reamy. Laura Remy Miller

By Louise Kelly Remy (date unknown)
GREAT GRAND FATHER Remy - REV. JAMES I REAMY
Was born 1770 in Westmoreland Co, Virginia. He died in 1840
He married 1st to Lucretia Bainton Carter (John Neal Security). She was born about 1775 and was a grand daughter of Robert (King) Carter (Grandfather of Robert Carter the Councilor)
Rev. James I REAMY was speaker of the House of Burgesses, 6 years. And Treasurer under Most Serene Prince William, John, George I and George II. And Governor of the Colony over a year. And Rector of William and Mary College. Source: Epitaph (in latin) on his tombstone, Christ Church Parish Meades. "Old Churches and Families in Virginia" vol 2, page 122.
He married 2nd time 23rd Dec 1817 (John Neal Security)
He married 3rd Sarah Calawn Oct 20, 1836, in King George Co. VA. Her mother was a Mrs. Holliday.
Sarah Calawn had married 1st, Mr. Hudson, by whom she had several children. She married 2nd, Mr. Owens, and had 6 children, one of whom was Jane Owens, who married Rev. Robert M. Reamy, a son of her 4th husband Rev. James I REAMY.
She married 3rd, Mr. Hutt, and married 4th the widower Rev. James I REAMY, when she was 50 years old. She died in 1883 at the age of 97.
He had 4 sons:
James I Remy born 1770 lived in KY
William Benjamin born 1796 lived in VA
Henry born 1810 lived in Iowa
Jacob born 1814 lived in Iowa

I found a posting on elijah.org that had similar but additional information on Rev. James I REAMY, his wives and their numerous children. Still waiting to hear back from her on her sources.

Can anyone confirm any of the above? I'd sure like to get some breakthroughs on this guy!! Laura
