    1. Re: [AMERICAN-REVOLUTION] Zenas Ross Soldier Rev War
    2. Charles Geo.Ross UE
    3. Hello all; My brick wall is for my 6th gr-grandfather who fought in the American Revolution, Zenas (os/us) Ross born possibly in 1745 in or around Union, Tolland Co., Connecticut. He married one Rachel Wright-Holcombe, her parents were Simeon and Sarah Wright. Her first husband was John Holcombe Sr. who was killed at the beginning of the Revolution. I have not been able to find out the proper date of birth, location, any other siblings or his parents names. I am trying to trace my clan back to Scotland. Zenas was a patriot and is listed in the "Rolls of Vermont Soldiers In The Revolutionary War 1775 - 1783 Prepared And Published Under The Direction Of Major General Martha T. Rainville, The Adjutant General, Vermont, Camp Johnson, Colchester, Vermont. (1998) pay rolls. At some time he switched sides and ended up being a spy for the British and at the conclusion of the war he and his family migrated to Canada and being a Loyalist received several land grants from the Crown. Any help of information would be greatly appreciated. Chuck
