I found that Ransford and his wife entered Ohio before 1840. They are listed in the 1840 census in Medina County, Ohio. My line was living there then. I believe that Ransford and his wife probably stayed with his cousin William Stowell (part of my direct line) or other relatvies in the area before moving on to Indiana. Ransford appears in the Jay Co, Indiana census in 1850. Anyway - hello to any cousins I might have out there from the Ransford line... -Matthew
