Not all of the names you mentioned do I know but
Ransom, N>Y> are related to us. I know Clayton very well and there
are many gravestones in the new cemetery there. There are several Ransoms. One was in
Wake County, N>C> (a cousin) and
Ransom, son of John G. Gulley. Ransom left Clayton after the Civil War and went to
Arkansas. Eventually, he became the State Treasurer.
I lots of
Gulley stories and family lore. If I can help, I'll very glad to do so.
On the 2 blocks of business in Clayton there is a building named "Gulley's Store."
Good
Luck!!
