According to Mr. Cornelius's Cemeteries, Whitley Co., Vol. 1, Ransom Stanford and his wife Joice are buried in Briar Creek Cemetery, Williamsburg, KY. Ransom was born 15 Oct 1822 and died 2 Jun 1897. Joice was born 28 Dec 1829 and died 5 Apr 1886. My father Edgar Egner copied all of the markers in that cemetery as of Feb. 1976. I'm sorry I do not have any information on his parents.
