I have posted my information previously to this list and have just today found out that the father of my George Edward Ransom is not Elvin Ransom as I previously post, but is William Mills Ransom b. TN. This is what I now have: William Mills Ransom b. ca 1837 TN (father & mother both b. TN) m. Allice VANCE b. ca. 1839 TN (father & mother both b. TN) - she had brothers named Acy & William children: Fount RANSOM b. ca 1859 TN William RANSOM b. ca 1872 MS George RANSOM b. ca 1874 MS Jasper N. RANSOM b. ca 1876 MS Mary P. RANSOM b. ca 1878 MS There are supposed to be three other children in this family according to family information - Asa RANSOM b. ca 1876 (found in Monroe Co. MS 1910 soundex), Manor RANSOM b. unknown, and James, who is supposed to be a twin of Jasper N. RANSOM b. ca 1876 above. I found the above family in Monroe Co. MS 1880 census, but did not find these "extra" children" with them, so that is still a puzzle. I am hoping that now that I have "better" information that someone might recognize some of this family and make a connection. I am descended from George Edward RANSOM b. ca 1874 MS - he was my great-grandfather, and my mother was a RANSOM. Thank you in advance. Allison Massengill Saxman
