Who was Ransom Southerland, NC 1790?
The name Ransom Southerland appears in a probate document, around 1799, from Franklin Co. NC, in connection with the estate of Joshua SPIVEY. A William BETTIS was also connected with the same estate.My ggg-grandfather, born in Cumberland Co. NC around 1787-90, was RANSOM SUTHERLAND BETTIS; his father Elisha (Elijah?) was William's first or second cousin.But after months of searching, I can't find even a hint of a family connection.And Ransom Southerland doesn't show up in any of the NC Sutherland/Southerland genealogies.Who was this guy, and why were my ancestors naming their children after him for the next four generations?
