He married Elizabeth Fillingim. I have them in the 1850-1880 Coffee co. census records. But I can't seem to find out who Ransom's parents were. The 1850 census states he was born in NC. All other census records state that he was born in Georgia. Acordding to these records, Ransom and Elizabeth had 9 children. William, Andrew Jackson, Daniel Pinkson, Ransom M.,Gillian E., Augustus(my grandfather), Matilda Roxanna, George W., and Victoria.

Thank you for your reply. I have searched Dale Co. and surrounding Counties for Ransom Hughes. Have had no luck. the 1840 census doesn't list children's names which makes it difficult to determine who their parents were. Especially with records being destroyed (marriage, birth, ect.). I haven't been able to link Ransom to any of the people listed in the Dale County census yet. Even though I do believe there could be a elation between them. I believe this family came to Coffee County in the early 1840's. But from where I am not sure. Thanks again for your reply.
