Sorry J. Talk about brain fog! I try to edit down to a short message and must have gotten carried away. These were the Wilson's. I would like to know about Thomas Wilson that is listed in your book. Thank you and don't worry about brain fog - been there - and done that - and I ....don't remember ... Oh well, it'll all be better tomorrow! And if not, I won't remember it anyway! Thanks, Patty Osiyo Patti. What was the last name of the parties I was looking up? I've already cleaned house with my other emails and I have researched quite a few names recently.

Osiyo Jerri, Know I haven't checked on the internet for their burials. I'm not sure where to look. I haven't found a definate connection between my Rosses and Chief John Ross, although there are many similarities in names. My Rosses are also associated with Miller, Harris, Barker, Sutton, Kelly, Merchant, Ritenour or Ridenour, Wikel and Brandenburg.

Osiyo Jerri, I have an ancestor buried in Canadian District or Muscogee District. His name is Benjamin F. Ross born in 1840 and died between 1920 and 1930. There are probably other Rosses and other relatives buried by him. I would love to see a picture of their headstones. Thanks very much for your offer. I do realize that it would probably be hard for you to find them, but if you would get a chance to look, I'd certainly appeciate it.

I will check my records and look for him. ;) By chance, does the last name Hembree ring a bell?
