from Past and Present of PEI:
Robert Ramsay, Mrs. Rogers' maternal grandfather, was a son of Malcolm and Ella (Boyle) Ramsay, the former being a son of Donald Ramsay, and born in Scotland, where he was educated for mercantile pursuits in the West Indies. He was on his way to Quebec with his parents with the intention to embark at that point for the West Indies, but for some reason stopped in Prince Edward Island, where he remained. Here Donald Ramsay engaged in teaching school, while the remaining members of the family located on Lot 12.
Robert left everything to his wife Margaret Jane in his will.
