RANSOM cousins, In answer to Steve's question : RANSOMS in La Grange, Troup Co GA....I found these in my old book: HISTORY OF TROUP COUNTY GA by Clifford L. Smith, published in 1933 which I (later) inherited from my LOVE-ROGERS-GREENWOOD great grandparents on my mother's side, WHO are no relation to the RANSOMS on the BURNETT/JORDAN/FARIS/RANSOM paternal side.) ALSO: these RANSOMS are not related to mine, as far as I know. (AND this is ALL I know about them).Of course we all are related if we go back far enough, right??? SO do let me know if any of these are related to YOU, please. Thanks...your distant cousin, (sometimes more distant than others <g>) Carole RANSOM, A.J. pg 293 b Aug 27,1847 d: Nov 12 1898 m NANCY b June 8 1851, d Feb. 14 1894; UNION CEMETERY RANSOM, JAMES M., P 63 RANSOM, JOHN J. 293 b July 1,1842 d Aug 5 1885 FLOWERS CEMETERY RANSOM, T.F. 293 b Nov 27, 1842 d March 7 1920; m.
