Does anyone recognize this guy? Elijah Ransom, Jr. b 1820, NY, He and his father , also Elijah Ransom, lived in Ogle county ....as they are listed in the 1850 Census. Elijah Jr. was a Methodist Minister, although I can't find evidence that he was a preacher in Ogle Co. ?? Any info might be helpful. Thanks ed PS They both had a ''Mary' for a wife. So Ransom Jr. was married to a Mary, and his mother was also Mary. Can be rather confusing.
