James Graham Ramsay (March 1, 1823 – January 10, 1903) was a North Carolina politician who served in the Confederate States Congress during the American Civil War.
Ramsay was born in Iredell County, North Carolina. He served in the North Carolina Senate from 1856 to 1864 and again in 1883. He represented the state in the Second Confederate Congress.
He lost two races for the United States House of Representatives during Reconstruction—in 1865 (losing to Samuel H. Walkup, who was not seated by the House) and in 1884 (losing to John S. Henderson).
He is buried in the Third Creek Presbyterian Church cemetery near Cleveland, North Carolina.[1] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[2]
