I'm looking for information about a Ransom/Ranson Pruett born in 1825 in burke county, nc. On his son David's death certificate (b.1849) it lists the mother as Peggy Smith from NC. I can find exact records on her because i'm not sure of her birthdate but she is listed on the death certificate as born in burke county. She may have been a slave because most of the possible matches i've found have her race listed as black. any information would be greatly appreciated.
