Daves of 543 This is very interesting. One of the daughters of Joseph Leeman, Sr., Elizabeth "Betsey" Leeman, married an unknown Fuller sometime prior to the will of the said Joseph, which was dated 5/19/1814, probated 3/1817,filed in Will Book E of Franklin Co., N.C. One of Joseph's other daughters, Sally, married Reuben Ransom, Sr. in 1779 Bute Co., N.C. (that's Franklin Co. later on). Joseph was born about 1830 and died 12/8/1816. There's another group of "unplaced" Ransoms that later lived in Rabun Co., Ga., which is where your Fuller group appears. This "unplaced" family is that of Lewis Ransom, whose daughter, Nancy Ransom, married Andrew J. Fuller. We've been unable to determine who Lewis Ransom's father was, but had suspected it might be Samuel Ransom, the son of James and Amy Davis Ransom. The new info that you provide here, and if it can be shown that the Betsey Leeman is indeed married into your Fuller family, might be the clue necessary to figure out your Ransom Fuller as well as our Lewis Ransom? Is Betsey Leeman perhaps the mother of your Rasnom Fuller?
