Ransom Halloway (c. 1793 – April 6, 1851) was a United States Representative from New York. ==Biography== Born in Pawling, Dutchess County, his sister and he were raised by relatives after the deaths of their parents.〔Louise Tompkins, Millbrook Round Table, (Out of the Past in Old Dutchess: Aaron Burr and the Quaker Lady ), January 27, 1971〕 He settled in Beekman, where he farmed and worked as a hat maker.〔Dutchess County Historical Society, (Year Book ), 1946, page 53〕〔New York Herald, (Odds and Ends ), November, 1848〕 He was also active in the state militia, and was appointed paymaster of the 30th Brigade in 1818.〔New York State Legislature, (Documents of the Senate of the State of New York ), Volume 11, 1902, page 1963〕 In 1820 he married Rebecca Dodge, who died in 1843.〔Richard E. Hawley, (An Explanation of Proposed Revisions To Settlers of the Beekman Patent and Mayflower Families in Progress ) , 2011, page 26〕 Halloway was elected as a Whig to the Thirty-first Congress, holding office from March 4, 1849 to March 3, 1851.〔Michael F. Holt, (The Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party ), 1999, page 1088〕〔Putnam County Courier, (Death of Benjamin Bailey ), July 20, 1872〕 He died on April 6, 1851 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland at Mount Pleasant,〔W.M. Morrison, (Stryker's American Register and Magazine ), Volume 6, 1853, page 223〕 the home of his second wife Eliza Waring.〔(The Bowies and Their Kindred: A Genealogical and Biographical History ), 1899, page 492. This entry describes Halloway as being from New Jersey, bus since only one person named Halloway has ever served in Congress, this is clearly an error.〕 He was buried next to his first wife at the Dodge Family Cemetery in Pawling.〔Hawley, An Explanation of Proposed Revisions, page 26〕 His name is sometimes spelled "Holloway." His second wife's name appears in some accounts as "Warren." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ransom Halloway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
