Melanie, according to the USGS mapping system at

The following variants of Ransom are in Ohio:
Ransom Ditch OH Erie canal Lat 412249N / Long 0824126W Sandusky
Ransoms (historical) OH Erie County populated place Lat / Long UNKNOWN
Ransoms Run OH Knox County stream Lat 402237N Long 0822215W Danville

I am searching for the family of Pratt Foster Gosline, born abt 1800 in NY or Canada. He is first found on the 1830 census of Seneca Co. NY in Junius Twp. PF may be connected to the Goslines who appeared in nearby Ontario County about the same time.
