The Roseann referred to was Oliver and John's sister. This home was built approx. 1840 by John Ross. In 1839 John and Oliver Ross obtained the land from Thomas and Sarah Small. In 1839 this community was referred to as New Scotland. They purchased the 100 acres for 100 pounds. East half of lot 6D. It is believed, from hearsay and the A.F. Church map, that this was John Ross' home and the home to the east was Oliver Ross' home. John and Oliver are believed to be children of Crawford Ross. Little is known of John and Oliver Ross. They both died in 1885. In 1883 they deeded the home's to Oliver's son, John Ross Jr. for $250. This price is very low but it was Oliver's son, and John's nephew; and John Ross (the junior) probably looked after the aging men for the last 2 years of their life for added consideration. In 1871 Oliver Ross (60); Mary Ann (44), were living with children Catharine, Mary Ann, John, Isabelle, William H., Alexander, and Adelaide. John (55) and Rosann (62) were living here with them. October 1935: John Ross (1850-1935) "The death of John Ross, well known Culloden farmer, occurred on Sunday. The deceased was born at Culloden 85 years ago, and was the son of the late Oliver Ross and Mary (Murphy) Ross. He is survived by his wife, formerly Grace D. Ellis, and 4 children: Mrs. Grace Cripps and Mrs. Fred Peatfield, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, Walter, of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Newton, of Culloden. He was buried in Culloden cemetery". February 1936: "The death of Grace D., widow of John Ross, occurred at the home of her grandson, Madison, at Culloden, on Tuesday. Deceased, who was 74 years of age, was born at Shore Road, Digby, and was a daughter of the late William and Mary Ellis. In 1937 the heirs of John Ross conveyed the homes (as the deed description hadn't changed from the 1839 deed) to Leander Newton Ross. It is said that William was living in the other (eastern) home though. June 1963: " L. Newton Ross, retired fisherman, passed away June 28 at the Digby General Hospital following a short illness. Born at Culloden 79 years ago, and except for a brief period of employment in the United States, was a lifetime resident of that village. Surviving are his wife the former Dora Handspiker; 3 daughters, Barbara (Mrs. Elliott VanTassel) Mount Pleasant; Dora (Mrs. Basil Tufts), Clyde River; and Aldyth (Mrs. Leo Kaye), Culloden; 5 sons, James, Marshalltown; John, Seabrook; Edward, Yarmouth; Frank and Robert, Culloden. In 1961 "Newton" left the home to his son, Frank E. Ross. This property was finally divided to a 20 x 20 (rods) lot. Frank married Merna Neva Finigan, of Freeport on March 3rd 1945. " A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the Digby United Baptist Parsonage, Saturday afternoon, when Merna Neva Finigan, daughter of Mr and Mrs. Victor Finigan, of Freeport, was united in marriage to Frank Eric Ross, of Culloden. The bride looked lovely in a mauve crepe dress with matching accessories. Miss Aldyth I. Ross, of Culloden, attended the bride, while the groom was attended by John R. Ross, of Rossway. The attendants were sister and brother of the groom. The happy couple will reside in Culloden". Merna was a member of the Church of God, Digby, and Culloden Baptist church. She taught school before she was married and was employed with the Met store for 20 years. She also taught Sunday school in Freeport and in the Church of God, and was an active member of Digby Regional Housing Authority for 16 years". Frank passed away in 1984. Frank and Merna conveyed the home to their 3 sons (Richard, Glen, and Eric) in 1982. Eric and his wife Joan have had sole poss! ession since 1990. The 1901 census which normally goes house to house doesn't have William and John living next to each other. William seems to be in the right area (by Alexander Ross and a post family) but John doesn't. Hopefully John wasn't home initially and they had to find him home on their return through. 2.From Rev. Allan Massie Hill's Book "History of Digby county" 1901: "Over in the direction of Broad Cove and Culloden settled many Scotch families such as the Carrs, Urquharts, Mckays, Ross', and the MacLeans who were so broad in their speech that they could scarcely be understood". ( I noted in the Eric Ross property that in 1839 this area was referred to as New Scotland ). This was the home of Oliver Ross. The home was built c1840. (See the Eric Ross property for more info). William Henry Ross (son of Oliver) remained in this home. He married "Mame" Mary O' Connor. In 1901 William Henry Ross (48) a methodist fisherman was living here with his wife Mary E. (39) a Catholic lady. All the children were listed as Catholics: William A. (20), Mary E. (18), Lulu P. (16), Oliver (15), Nellie G. (12), Florence M. (7), Ethel L. (2). In 1939 William deeded the home to his eldest daughter Mary E (William died later that year). Mary E. had the home. The home was used as a summer home by William's daughters until 1975. Ethel obtained an interest in the home in 1954 and released the home in 1975 to Russell O. Ross (a descendant of Oliver). Bruce Ross has owned the home since 1983. Neither this home or the home to the west has ever left the Ross family of Culloden. ++This home could be older. May be the Small home?

My John Ross was born ~1859 and died July 6, 1892; haven't heard that he was married twice, but could have been I guess. His wife Catherine Daley would have been born about 1862. And they did have a daughter Sadie (Sarah Etta) Ross, my great grandmother born around 1888. From the bits and pieces of fragmented information I have found over the years, Sadie's father died as a result of drowning, so quite possibly did work on a boat... I haven't heard the name of Betty Payson in the family circles before though. I have a picture of the old house, and would be very intested in any information you might have on it should it turn out to be the same house. And, I continue to look for anything I can come up with on William C. Porter who married Sadie Ross---very elusive to say the least--- Thanks muchly for your efforts. gail

Shirley, Thank you for the return. I would appreciate to know the location, but don't want to put you on the spot. I have two maps of Canada. My maps have many of the locations marked but St. Bernard is just not shown. If it would not be too much trouble could you simply name the towns that border or circle the St. Bernard location. French Beach is not named. I would really appreciate it. My family has been there since the 1600s. Again, Thank you.

St. Bernard is located in the village called St. Bernard. It's located in Digby County, it's along what we call the french shore. I have a map that shows the small villages there, even a picture of the church if you're interested. Shirley
