Ransom, Arthur, Charles F., Enfield, NH

I don't have much more on these men, but the 1850 Census shows a 22 year old man named Ransom Cross living in New London NH, living on Eliphalet Gay's Farm. The Census says Rnsom was born in NH.
I've been through the standard vital records for NH, and did not see a birth record for Ransom. Given the date range you quote, This Ransom could be the father [or uncle] of the three you named. It is also possible that this is a coincidence.
An even less certain connection, the 1850 census shows a Charles F. Cross, age seven months, born in NH, living in Orford NH with his parents Charles and Rebecca M. Cross [ages 41 and 38, both of NH]
There is no Arthur CROSS in the 1850 Census in New England. He was probably born after that.
I'd be very interested to see anything you find that adds clarity to [this family | these families].
