In 1772, Deitrich Ramsauer gave to David Ramsour (his fourth son) an estate about 5 miles from Lincolnton, NC, which (in 1938) was still in the David Ramsour family. David's brother Jacob received an estate in the edge of Lincolnton on which the famous battle of Ramsour's Mill was fought June 20, 1780. Later, in 1781, Cornwallis camped on this battlefield, locked Jacob in his own Mill for 3 days and forced him to grind flour and meal for the English Army.
