Benjamin Ramey was a son of Christina (née Stump) and Revolutionary War veteran Thaddeus Matthew Remy. The couple had settled in Shenandoah County, Virginia, in 1779, where Benjamin was born about 1782. "Thaddeus Ramey and wife Christine" were parties to conveying a tract of land on West Run, described as a drain of Crooked Run in Frederick County, Virginia. Benjamin Remy likely lived in Frederick County in 1799, when he witnessed the will of John Painter, junior.
Benjamin "Raimy" and Hannah Painter were married on 12 October 1802 in Washington County, Maryland. Hannah's family were Quakers, members of the Crooked Run Monthly Meeting in Frederick County, Virginia, and John Painter, junior, was Hannah's uncle. The couple's marriage in a Maryland county bordering Virginia may indicate parental disapproval or an elopement. Benjamin was about age 20; Hannah was nearly 15. The couple are reported to have become the parents of eight children.
The Ramey family was enumerated in 1810 and 1820 in Frederick County, Virginia, and in 1830 and 1840 in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Benjamin Ramey died about 1844, reportedly in Shenandoah County.
