Maj. Frederick J. Ransbottom, of Oklahoma City, Okla. Vietnam MIA Identified

Soldiers Missing in Action from Vietnam War are Identified

The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced today that the remains of two U.S. servicemen, missing in action from the Vietnam War, have been identified and will be returned to their families for burial with full military honors.

They are Maj. Frederick J. Ransbottom, of Oklahoma City, Okla.; and . . . both U.S. Army. Ransbottom will be buried in Edmond, Okla. on Jan. 13, . . .

(see link for complete release)

Representatives from the Army met with the next-of-kin of these men to explain the recovery and identification process, and to coordinate interment with military honors on behalf of the Secretary of the Army.

On May 12, 1968, North Vietnamese forces overran the Kham Duc Special Forces camp and its surrounding observation posts in Quang Nam-Da Nang Province (formerly Quang Tin Province), South Vietnam. Ransbottom and Skivington were two of the 17 U.S. servicemen unaccounted-for after the survivors evacuated the camp. Search and recovery efforts at the site in 1970 succeeded in recovering remains of five of the 17 men. A sixth man was returned alive during Operation Homecoming in 1973 after having been captured and held prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese.

Between 1993 and 2006, joint U.S./Socialist Republic of Vietnam teams, led by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), conducted eight investigations and four excavations in the vicinity of the camp site. The team interviewed former North Vietnamese officers and soldiers who participated in the battle. Some recalled seeing the bodies of U.S. servicemen near one of the observation posts, and U.S. eyewitness accounts placed Ransbottom and Skivington near the post.

During an excavation conducted in 1998, two U.S. servicemen who survived the battle accompanied JPAC to help locate the observation posts, but found no evidence of human remains. Later excavations conducted in the area yielded human remains, identification media and personal effects for Ransbottom, Skivington and several other soldiers.

Among other forensic identification tools and circumstantial evidence, scientists from JPAC also used dental comparisons in the identification of the remains.

Allison and Margaret had a daughter Margaret E. Ransbottom who, according to the census, was born about 1852. Looking at the 1880 census, there is a Jonathan and Margaret Ingram in Walkers Creek, Rockbridge Co., VA. I think that this is consistent. They are listed as having two children - a daughter who is 6 and a son who is 3. The daughter is probably the one that I found a reference to in a book on Rockbridge Co. Births as having been born to Margaret E. Ransbottom with no father listed and reported by Mrs. Croan, the child's grandmother.

Many of John Ransbottom's children (as well as John and his wife Mary) are buried in Greenlawn Cemetery in Colombus, Ohio. I happened upon it while looking for information about John's father Allison. The web site is:

I did not find anything new about Allison. I was hopeing to find a cemetery record. The one bit of information that I found a couple of years ago that I have not seen mentioned is that he died in August 1856 in Augusta Co., VA (Augusta Co., VA Deaths 1853 - 1896). His daughter Elizabeth who married James W. Glass is one of my Great Great Great Grandmothers on my mothers side.

Josie married Charles B. Gibson 27 Nov 1887
Her son was Albert Martin Gibson, 1894-1935 Staunton, Virginia
His daughter was Doris Ledora Gibson, 1915 Staunton - 1996 Hopewell, Virginia (my Grandmother).
My mother is Evelyn Ledora Collins.
