Jacob Lorenzo (went by Ransie) Nifong was the only known child of Madison A. Nifong (1835-1864)(who died in an Union Civil War Prisoner of War camp in New York State) and Salome Weir (1830-1887), daughter of Houke and Susan Weir. It is not known if Madison and Salome ever married. Madison had previously been married to Catherine Hartman Nifong (1816-1848), with whom he had two known children. Madison later married Rosenah Weir (1827-1878) on 05 Mar 1850 at Davidson County, North Carolina and had an additional five children. Salome Weir married Jacob Miller on 22 Jun 1859 at Davidson County, North Carolina.
