I have hit a roadblock for Benjamin Ransom Smith or Ransom B. Smith. He is my
great-grandfather and I loose track of him after 1942 (WWII Draft Registration Card) and
before 1880 (Federal Census). He was born about July 1878 in Grant County, Indiana. His
father, unknown name, died between 1878 and 1879. His mother, Louiza J. Smith, is listed
as head of house on the 1880 census. He moved to Clinton County around 1910 as a farmer.
He had two sons with Sarah G "Grace" Moore Smith: Chalmer J. Smith and Ralph R.
Smith. He had 3 siblings who disappear from the face of the earth before 1900: May B Smith
(1871), Evaline Smith (1873) and Joseph F Smith (1876). I would appreciate if anyone has
any information on any these people especially Benjamin Ransom Smith.
