Father of Arnold Reginald Ransom, a Levin builder, and Wilfred Hamilton Ransom, Levin plumber.

After marrying Mary Ann Knight in 1875, they sailed from Wellington to Foxton and took a bullock wagon to Sanson where they lived whilst clearing the bush from the land they had bought in Campbelltown (now Rongotea).

Vincent Ransom was the first Chairman (1895-1903) of the Rongotea Co-operative Dairy Company while his brother-in-law Samuel Knight was the first Secretary (1895-1898).

They farmed in Rongotea until 1903 when they moved to Levin to farm the Fairfield area; 103 acres bought for 38 pounds an acre.

After Vincent died in 1905 Mary Ann sold the farm and built a house in Kent Street, Levin. (SE corner of Kent and Winchester).

NB: One genealogy recorded Vincent's second name as Christopher, and a second one as Christopherson.

Vincent's second name was Christopherson. This was confirmed from an old land deed document which he signed in 1878. (Information supplied by Robin Ransom, Great Grandson of Vincent Ransom through Roland).
