He was educated in the public schools and Aurora Academy. Early in life he engaged in business as a merchant at Java Lake, Wyoming county, New York, where he also was prominent in public affairs, and in 1852 was elected county clerk on the Whig ticket. In 1856 he removed to Perry, New York, where he also engaged in merchan- dising. In 1864, at the earnest request of his friend, Governor Washington Hunt, he re-

He then became interested in the Lockport Hydraulic Company, of which he was secretary and treasurer, also secretary of the Franklin Mill Company, and closely identified with other interests of the city. His friendship with Governor Hunt was only sev- ered by the death of the latter, who in his will appointed Mr. Currier executor of his es- tate. He became an ardent Democrat after the dissolution of the Whig party, and for sev- eral years was justice of the peace. He was a most capable man of business and strictly scrupulous in his ideas of business honor. He was held in high esteem among his business as- sociates and his wide circle of friends.

PETERSON This branch of the Peter- sons in the United States came by an ancestor from Holland who settled in New Amsterdam at an early date. The name appears on the rec- ord as early as 1646, when Barent and Casper Pietersen, with others, petitioned for leave to form a village and for salt meadows. Chris- tian Peterson owned lands in Brooklyn in 1660. Christian Peterson married Tryntje Cornelise, and had several children, baptized in 1658 and 1669.


(II) Garret, son of Christian and Tryntje (Cornelise) Peterson, removed in 1694 to New Jersey. He married and had issue.


(III) William, son of Garret Peterson, married Mary Valentine and had issue that settled in Somerset county, New Jersey, on the banks of the Raritan. They were owners of the land they tilled, and rendered good ser- vice to their state, several of the name appear- ing on New Jersey revolutionary rolls.


(IV) Cornelius, son of William Peterson, was a farmer of the town of Hillsborough, Somerset county, New Jersey. He took an active part in town affairs, and when the free- holders of Neshanic (a village in the town- ship) met, May 3, 1775, to choose officers for the Hillsborough battalion of militia he was 13-W


elected second lieutenant, his brother Roelof being chosen first lieutenant. The battalion saw service during the revolution, and Lieu- tenant Cornelius Peterson was with his com- pany. He married, in Neshanic, Hannah Pur- cell (or Parscell) and had children, all bap- tized in the Dutch Reformed church. After the war was over Cornelius removed to New York state, probably during his military ser- vice, having heard of some locality that suited him. He loaded such goods as he could move into covered wagons, and with wife, family, and some negro slaves, made his way to Cay- uga county, New York, where he cleared a farm and lived the remainder of his days. Chil- dren : Cornelius (2), Jerome, George, Garret, of further mention; Roelof, Richard, Anna and Atlje.


(V) Garret (2), son of Cornelius and Han- nah (Purcell or Parscell) Peterson, was-born in Neshanic, Hillsborough township, Somerset county, New Jersey, died at Nunda, New York, November 1, 1843. He came to Cayuga county, New York, with his father, between the years 1785 and 1800, marrying in the town of Scipio, the latter year, Rebecca Babcock, whose parents removed to Cayuga county from New Bedford, Massachusetts.


(VI) Gilbert, son of Garret (2) and Re- becca (Babcock) Peterson, was born in the town of Owasco, Cayuga county, New York, August 5, 1824, died November 14, 1890. He was educated in the district schools, and at an early age became a lumberman, a business he followed for several years. Later he engaged in contracting as a member of the firm of Hunt, Peterson & Kinsley. They carried on several large operations, among them being a contract from the state of New York, enlarg- ing the canals between Middleport and Gas- port, New York, in 1855. In 1858 he removed his residence to Lockport, New York, having been appointed superintendent of the western division of the Erie Canal. Later he assumed the contract for canal repairs on the Albany section, later the section between Frankfort and Little Falls. At about this time he built the Kilburn Hill water works plant and sys- tem at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The old con- tracting firm then dissolved. Mr. Peterson admitted his sons Charles and Jesse to a part- nership, and as Peterson & Sons they built the water works at Grand Rapids, Michigan, and a similar plant at Toledo, Ohio. Another im- portant contract was the erection, for the

United States government, of the Trumbull street reservoir at Washington, D. C. Mr. Peterson, Sr., continued actively in business until his death in 1890. He was a Democrat in politics and a member of the Episcopal church. He was a man of forceful character, upright and honorable.


He married, in 1847, Elizabeth Parker, born 1823, died 1905, daughter of Benjamin and Catherine (Snyder) Parker, and granddaugh- ter of Captain John and Elizabeth (Rettie) Parker, of Somerset county, New Jersey. Cap- tain John Parker served in the revolutionary war with the First Battalion, Somerset County militia; was engaged at the battle of Mon- mouth under command of General Washing- ton, and died soon after the battle, from apo- plexy. Benjamin Parker came from Somer- set county, New Jersey, to Livingston county, New York, in 1797. He served in the war of 1812-14, losing a leg at the battle of Queens- town Heights. Elizabeth Parker descended in direct lines from three "Mayflower" passen- gers and signers of the "Compact;" Francis Cooke, Richard Warren and John Cooke. Chil- dren of Gilbert and Elizabeth (Parker) Peter- son: Charles, born 1848; Jesse, of further mention; Elizabeth, born in Lockport, New York.


(VII) Jesse, son of Gilbert and Elizabeth (Parker ) Peterson, was born at Belfast, Alle- gany county, New York, October 1, 1850. He was educated in the public schools at Lock- port, attended the high school, and later was a student at Bryant and Stratton's Business College, at Buffalo. In 1868 he became asso- ciated with his father in the contracting busi- ness and was in charge of many of the large operations mentioned in the preceding gen- eration. The firm of Peterson & Sons con- ducted a large and profitable business, being well known as a capable, responsible firm. He continued in business with Peterson & Sons until the dissolution of the firm through the death of the senior partner. In 1885 he was one of the organizers of the Indurated Fibre Company, which was incorporated in that year with Jesse Peterson, president and general manager. He has other important business interests: Is president of the Buffalo Ware- house & Distributing Company, sole owner of the Cascade Pulp Mills, and otherwise inter- ested in Lockport and Buffalo enterprises. His life has been an active, useful one, and the reward that has followed has been fairly


earned and wisely used. He is a Democrat in politics; in 1892 was presidential elector and is influential in his party. He served his city as police commissioner and also as railroad commissioner. Through his patriotic ancestors he has gained membership in the Sons of the American Revolution; is a member of the Electrical Engineers Club, of New York City, and the Social Club, Buffalo and Ellicott, of Buffalo.


He married, January 29, 1873, Arabella A., daughter of former Mayor Albert F. Brown, of Lockport. Children : Clara, married Henry M. Nichols ; Jesse Dudley.


The remote origin of this fam- RANSOM ily across the sea is veiled with the doubt and uncertainty that surround most ancestral records, made up as they are largely from tradition. The his- torian of the Ransoms of America, Willys C. Ransom, A. M., states there is little doubt that the family is of Danish stock, the first landing in Brittainy being coincident with the Danish invasion and the overthrow of the Anglo- Saxon rule in that country, 1017-1042. It is said that for many years after the Danish in- cursions they were called by the Britons, Ran- somes, as in their early raids they seized and carried away notable men and women, holding them in captivity until the ransom demanded for their release was paid. After the restora- tion of Saxon rule, it is likely that Danish families continued to live in England and were still known and called by the old name. Old records and registers generally spelled the name with a final "e." Occasionally it was written Ransomme and Ransom. but since the sixteenth century the name has usually been spelled as it is pro- nounced. There is also a prevalent impression that the American branch is of Celtic or Welsh descent, and again it is claimed that they came into England with William the Conqueror, but these statements are extremely hard to verify and difficult to accept. All efforts to connect the American family with English progenitors of definite date and localities have been un- successful. The passenger lists at the differ- ent ports from which the emigration to Amer- ica departed during the seventeenth century fails to show a single passenger by the name of Ransom, although it is beyond question that one of that name landed in Plymouth, Massa- chusetts, previous to 1650. The municipal and


195

church records show that for many centuries families of Ransoms have lived and been prominent in affairs in Kent, Ipswich, Sussex, and principal towns in Eastern England.


The first of the family in America of whom there is clear and continuous record is Rob- ert Ransom, of Plymouth, although there are others mentioned at as early a date-Matthew, of Lyme, Connecticut, who is believed to have been a son of Robert; and Peter Ransome, who settled in Virginia, and was a member of the house of burgesses from Elizabeth county in 1654, who may have been a brother of Robert. In 1654 Robert Ransom was com- plainant in Plymouth court against his mas- ter, Thomas Dexter, Jr., to whom he was ap- prenticed. Where he came from and how long he had been in the colony is unknown. He seems to have been a lonely, friendless lad. Certain it is that he had no parents in Ply- mouth and grew up a wayward boy and young man, although in maturer years he became wiser and held positions of trust. From Freeman's "History of Cape Cod" it appears that Robert was a resident of Sandwich in 1654, and that he complained to the court of Thomas Dexter, Jr., but was himself repri- manded .. The date is August 4, 1654, and at this time Thomas Clark, of Plymouth, bought out this remaining time of Dexter. Robert's offense was stubbornness, and he seems to have continued in offending, as on March I, 1663, he was fined ten shillings for his "turbu- lent and clamorous carriage in the court." December 2, 1665, he was admonished for call- ing William Hawkins a "rogue" and insulting him. In 1669 Robert Ransom and wife ap- peared, and were bound to answer for their "contentions and unworthy carryages" each to the other. March 1, 1690, he appeared to answer his presentment for speaking wicked and reproachful words against the governor and magistrates. The jury cleared him legally, although they were persuaded that the lan- guage spake "like unto the said Ransom's lan- guage." He seems to have had a good deal of trouble, and to have been both sinning and sinned against. June 1, 1675, he was appointed one of the four surveyors of highways of Ply- mouth. July 7, 1681, John Doter, "late con- stable of Plymouth," complained against him to the damage of five pounds, for his putting the said Doter "to much unnecessary trouble, expense of time and losses in the execution of his late office of constable." Jury found for


the plaintiff. July 7, 1685, Robert Ransom was one of the jury at the court of His Maj- esty, "holden at Plymouth." Some time pre- vious to his death he was one of the committee to receive funds for the increase of the min- ister's salary. He married young, although Plymouth records bear no record of his mar- riage. His home was at Lakenham, now Lakeville, the town south of Middleboro, merged in 1708 with the town of Plympton. He reared a large family of sons and daugh- ters who appear to have been respected peo- ple, who intermarried with the best families of the colony. Robert owned a home and land on which he lived and farmed, purchased from Samuel Ryder, Jr. His wife Hannah is sometimes called Susannah, and it is possible he may have been married a second time. He died December 14, 1697, leaving a comfort- able estate for his day. His is the first death recorded in the Ransom family. Children : I. Matthew, of Saybrook, Connecticut; mar- ried, March 7, 1683, Hannah Jones. 2. Joshua, of Plymouth, Massachusetts ; married (first) Mary Clifford, February 1, 1686; (sec- ond), Susanna Garner, March 10, 1692. 3. Robert, of further mention. 4. Hannah, of Plymouth ; married, 1691, Ebenezer Jackson. 5. Mercy, of Plymouth; married, 1692, Sam- uel Waterman. 6. Mary, of Plymouth ; mar- ried Nehemiah Besse. 7. Samuel, of Ply- mouth ; married, 1706, Mercy Dunham ..


(II) Robert (2), son of Robert (1) and Hannah Ransom, died April 27, 1723. There is no record of the place or date of his birth, but the records show him to have been the third son of Robert, and born probably about 1669, at Lakenham, afterward Plympton, county of Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Plymouth county records show that June 17, 1686, Rob- ert Ransom (1) gave by deed of trust, which took the place of a will, certain real estate holdings, "To Robert Ransom, Junior, my be- loved son". Robert Ransom (2) married, about 1689, Anna, believed to have been the daughter of Deacon Waterman, of Halifax, Massachusetts. Children: 1. Samuel, born 1693; married, December 12, 1717, Abigail Richard. 2. Abigail, born June 7, 1695; mar- ried Nathaniel Thomas. 3. Lydia, born Feb- ruary 26, 1700; married January 8, 1724, Sam- uel Barrows. 4. Ebenezer, born September 6, 1702; married, 1722, Jerusha 5. Mary, born June 9, 1705. 6.

The descendants of Robert multiplied rap- idly, and many of them settled in Plympton and adjacent towns, making their way in course of time to various localities in Massa- chusetts, Vermont and Connecticut. A num- ber located in the valley of the Hudson in New York state, at Saguerties and Poughkeepsie, from whom descendants spread to western New York and throughout even the far west.

A distinguished member of his family was Captain Samuel Ransom, of Wyoming, Penn- sylvania, born April 10, 1738, at Middleboro, Massachusetts. When of age he went with his brother John to Connecticut, where he married and lived until the outbreak of the revolu- tionary war, when he removed with his family to the Wyoming valley, Pennsylvania, then a part of Litchfield county, Connecticut. He joined the American army and was commis- sioned captain in the Pennsylvania Continen- tal Line. He fought in many battles.and then returned to his home to defend the valley against the Indians, sent by British generals to burn, kill and destroy. He was slain at the head of his little force in a vain attempt to turn the tide of the bloody battle, known in history as the Wyoming Massacre.
