Dear ConnyGreen,
Yes, Jurg Friedrich Ransier who married Dorothea Sheff is the father of George born 21 December 1756.
A letter written in July 1897 from a descendent of Jurg Friedrich Ransier describes him as a fine cedar cooper.
He arrived in the Colonies in 1739 aboard the good ship "Loyal Judith" and lived in Pennsylvania for a few years.He moved to New Jersey for a short time and eventually settled on Broadway (George was 4 years old) in New York City.He lived opposite of St. Pauls Church.It was written that he would not part with his cottage home for any money.He lived past 90 and is buried in St. Paul's church yard.
A second letter written in August 1897 states that he was born in the division between France and Germany.
Children:Philip Jacob (I believe that Philip was a step son, last name Feyring),Frederick,George,Sr.,Andreas,Maria and another daughter name unknown.
There is a clear and beautiful record of George Sr also.He married Anna Barbara Barkey and they were early settlers of the Mohawk Valley.
Friedrich belonged to the Dutch Reform Church and there is a clear record of his dealings in the book "Immigrants from the Palintate".
He was naturalized on 29 July 1762.
I hope this helps.Sincerely, Pat Wells
