RANSOM researchers, I am sending Jimmy's request to the RANSOM list and individually to descendants of Virginia/NC/TN RANSOMS hoping one of you can help Jimmy with his ancestor RICHARDSON RANSOM who is NOT a son of CAPT. RICHARD RANSOM & KESIAH/KIZIAH PORTIS. Maybe someone can tell us who he is...perhaps someone with RICHARDSONS AND RANSOMS.... Carole ============================================ Jimmy, I am passing this on to other people with Southern Ransom connections. If you want to look for wider Ransom connections, try subscribing to the RANSOM e-mail list. Just write to RANSOM-L-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM and type SUBSCRIBE in the body of the msg. OR put a D where the L is if you want the compilation of several RANSOM msgs. Also there is a website maintained by MIKE RANSOM in Oregon. : <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mransom">RANSOM FAMILY GENEALOGY</A> <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mransom/ransomlinks.html">R A NSOM LINKS</A> <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mransom/index.html">RANSOM on Rootsweb</A> <A HREF="http://www.peak.org/~mransom/orderform.html">RANSOM RSRCHR Order Form </A> BELOW IS THE ORIGINAL MSG FROM JIMMY RE: RICHARDSON RANSOM: In a message dated 8/13/00 1:16:31 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Jimmyh@hendricksencompany.com writes: << Jimmyh@hendricksencompany.com (Jim Hendricksen) Reply-to: <A HREF="mailto:Jimmyh@hendricksencompany.com">Jimmyh@hendricksen c ompany.com</A> (Jim Hendricksen) To: CarBurCo@aol.com Thank you very much....
