Ransom apparently married and fathered a child possibly/probably with a Taylor daughter. Ransom died during the War Between the States. The child, a male, was adopted by the Taylor family. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. A male (Taylor) descendant of Ransom's son has had his Y-DNA tested and is a very close match to my Y-DNA. Thank you. Cliff.
