    3. About 1785, just after their marriage, Ransome, a Revol. War vet, and Susannah BAKER Colquitt moved from Halifax Co., VA. to Rockingham Co. where they raised about 5 children. They split up about 1811 and Ransome remarried in 1812. Susannah returned to VA., Kanawha Co., where she died abt. 1846 after having gotten a widow's pension (W-6742) in Ransome's name. In 1815, Ransome was the bondsman at the wedding of Cassandra Cabot Colquitt to Martin BAKER, nephew of Susannah, in KY. At that time, KY. did not allow females to sign legal documents and required "a father or brother" to sign for all brides. WHAT was Ransome's relationship to Cassandra? Does anyone have information regarding Ransome and Susannah? Does anyone have access to this 20 year old book, EARLY FAMILIES IN ROCKINGHAM AND STOKES COUNTIES WITH REVOLUTIONARY SERVICE, Vol. II that contains information about these Colquitts? Hoping, Elizabeth, Cassandra's gr3grandaughter
