George Ramsay (Jacobite)
George Ramsay was a Scottish Jacobite soldier noted for his service during the Williamite War in Ireland. He reached the rank of Brigadier in the Irish Army. He seems have been the "Colonel Ramsey" that went north with Major-General Jean Camus, Marquis de Pusignan, after the arrival of James II at Dublin. During the Siege of Derry he took part in a Jacobite attempt to seize Windmill Hill, and was killed there. His loss was a major blow to the Jacobites as he was considered the best soldier in the army after Richard Hamilton. He is buried at the Catholic Long Tower Church in Derry.
His surname is sometimes spelled Ramsey. Childs calls him Robert Ramsay.Noteas and references
