Unfortunately I don't know much about them.

The 1850 Carlton Census states that Thomas Ransom is 68 and his wife Sarah
is 65. Their daughter Sarah Ellen or Ellen Sarah on the same census was 8.

>From the 1865 census on, she went by Ellen. She was married twice. Briefly
to a husband with last name of Poole, see 1865 census. She married Thomas
Lott in July, 1870 as noted on the 1870 census. They had no children. Her
obit is posted on the Orleans County website as follows:

SARAH ELLEN SPENCER LOTT (21 May 1842 - 9 Mar 1910)
Newspaper: Medina Daily Journal, Thurs., March 10, 1910
Surnames: LOTT, SPENCER
Albion, March 9. - The death of Mrs. Sarah Ellen LOTT, wife of Thomas LOTT,
occurred at her home in the town of Carlton this morning, from Bright's
disease, aged 67 years. Mrs. LOTT was born in the village of Little Falls,
Herkimer county, N. Y., May 21, 1842, and had been a resident of Orleans
county for many years.

She leaves her husband. The funeral services will be held from the Waterport
Methodist Church Friday forenoon at 11 o'clock. Rev. H. R. Williamson, of
Waterport, officiating.

(Interment took place in Waterport Cemetery)

Listed on the same 1850 census page at the next dwelling was a Eustus Ransom
anlong with his wife Isabel and daughter Louisa. I'm guessing that he was
one of Thomas and Sarah's children.

This is all I have, hope it's helpful.
