Ransom and Susan Ellsworth of the "Sufferers Land" of Ohio
Posted by: David Barton (ID *****2424) Date: February 01, 2011 at 13:27:08
  of 1923

I have posted a review of "History of the Fire-Lands," published in 1879 by WW Williams on the "Firelands History Website": http://firelands.wordpress.com.
Included in this book are biographies and portraits of Ransom (b. 1800) and Susan (nee Morey) Ellsworth, who settled in the Firelands of Northwestern Ohio.
The Firelands, or Sufferers' Land, was set aside for "Sufferers" in Connecticut whose homes were burned by the British during the American Revolution. It includes present day Huron, Erie, Ottawa, and Ashland Counties in Ohio.
My post includes a short synopsis of "History of the Fire-Lands" and the Table of Contents with links to the free on-line book's histories, biographies and illustrations of the pioneers and their families.
I invite you to check out this interesting biography of Ransom and Susan Ellsworth and other pioneers of the Firelands.
