Ransom had several brothers who served with the Confederacy, namely, John, Josiah, Robert and David. Ransom was the son of Rev. David Rich and Rhoda Hains (Haynes). He married Sarah A. Epley, daughter of Andrew Epley. They had children John W., Rachel Elizabeth, Ransom Logan, Jr., Frances and Andrew. I would like to hear from any descendants of Ransom Logan Rich who might help me fill in some holes in my genealogical records and perhaps verify his service with the Union during the Civil War.
