Descendants

Biography

Year of birth estimated from the 1870 Diary of James Clark in which he recalls the death/interment of Mr. Ransom Fulford as October 19, 1849 - age 47.

Ransom had another daughter named Julia Ann (b. 1836) with first wife Polly. This Julia is found living with her maternal grandfather Platt Wakelee in the 1850 Lancaster, Erie Co. census after the death of both of her parents. I believe this Julia Ann was named in memory of her two sisters Ann, & Juliet who died in 1834.
