| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Robert 1st appears in Plymouth recs as a servant of Thomas Dexter, Jr, 1 Aug 1654, when he complained of abuse by his master (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. [Boston, 1855-61], 3:63-64 [FHL #974.4 N2n]). Robert took the oath of fidelity at Plymouth in 1657 (Ibid, 8:181). He probably arrived at age 21 that year, suggesting a birth year about 1636.
MAR: No mar rec found. There is considerable confusion concerning the given name of Robert's wife, largely due to contradictory statements in his estate recs, below. Robert's widow Susannah was granted adm of the estate, but it was his widow Abigail who made oath to the inventory. However, "Goodwife Ransom," no doubt Robert's wife is mentioned in the inv of estate of John Tilson of Scituate, 31 Oct 1673. Abigail Ransom, aged about 36 years, testified concerning Tilson's nuncupative will (Plymouth Colony Probate, 3:78, 93 [FHL #567794]). Robert Ransom's wife was apparently Abigail.
DEATH: Date of death is from inv of estate. See the adm of estate of Robert Ransom of Plymouth, 22 Dec 1697, inv sworn 22 Dec 1697, Plymouth Co. Probate, 1:279-80 (FHL #550708).
