Hi Bob, This is a whole 'nother descent line, John Henry^6 [James^5, Joseph^4,3, Robert^2,1], with lots of records in Ulster Co NY [Katsbaan DR Church, Saugerties]. It is possible that John H & Margaret [m 1830] are related to a Charlotte, but not as her ancestor [birth date 1818, v. marriage 1830]. Do you have info on any of John's older siblings, who might have come to Ontario Co earlier [say 1818?] Thanks for your ideas, and another lead.

I've got some Ransoms that settled in Victor, Ontario Co., NY which is near Hopewell and they're buried in the Boughton Hill Cemetery. They originally came from Saugerties, Ulster Co., NY. John Henry Ransom (1809-1877) and his wife, Margaret Snyder (1812-1888) were the parents of several children. Let me know if you think there's a connection.
