Hello Joanne -I've recently returned to my search for Ransom Sutherland, and have discovered a few more facts.The main one is from the website of "The Sutherland", which you mention in your post.It says that he was a colonel in the 4th Regiment of the North Carolina Line during the Revolution.The 4th regiment was raised from the district of Wilmington, which included Cumberland County where my 5th-great grandfather lived, so it's possible that my ggggg may have served under him in the war.The problem is that neither of them can be found in the online muster rolls for the 4th regiment - which was commanded by a Colonel Polk - or any other regiment.Do you know anything that would shed light on this mystery?
