Here is some info that might help:
1850 Van Buren Twp., Brown Co., Indiana
Enumeration Date: August 6, 1850
Page: 235
Line: 31
Dwelling/Family: 12/12
Lane, Ralph - age 55, farmer, born in VA

" Mary Ann - age 12, born in TN

I think that Elizabeth Rose Lane is the Elizabeth listed above and the sister of Ralph Lane. In the 1870 Brown Co., IN census Ransom & Elizabeth Sturgeon are listed with their children, one of which is named Gillman who was possibly named after her brother Gillman Lane.

Ransom Sturgeon did marry Elizabeth Lane and had a family she died and he married Zoda Slater, as stated in his obit posted here by Byrne. Dates I have no idea. I have tried several times to find the date and all of the people that try to help me just cannot find them, Perhaps it was a common law marriage. Lavania

Yes, Jeanette, William Cecil Sturgeon was my aunt Florence's first husband and father of her 3 children. This man is looking for a connection between Tressa Bond Taylor, who is his grandmother, and Ransom Sturgeon and I believe the Ransom,Marion, William Cecil, is the only relationship. Tressa Bond's father was a brother to Florence Bond's father. He is also my grandfather. Lavania
