"Other than not including the name of some of the Shorey descendents, a major error in Dr. Starr's History on this family is his inclusion of a child of Chief John Ross, also named John Ross, which is not correct. This supposed son was an Osage Indian, and information on his family is included subsequent to the Ross-McDonald-Shorey section (which encompass pages 261 through 397). In addition, it strongly appears that there may be additional members of his family whose parentage are not definately deteermined. Especially noted should be John Rotten ROSS (c1836-1880) who married Lucinda MILLER; and George ROSS (c 1846-1899) who married Araminta "Cynthia" HAIR. Both of these men are supposed to be the children of a Lewis Ross, but further research is needed to properly place them in this family." --David Hampton, 2005 --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page
My great great grandfather Robert Ross b. 1808 who married my great great grandmother Mary Polly Miller, had a brother John Ross born about 1816 and he married Elizabeth Miller the same year that Robert married Mary in 1839. I'm pretty sure Mary and Elizabeth were sisters.

Maybe John Rotten Ross is in your line then. That would explain why the names are hard to track. I believe Mr. Hampton is following these leads but it might be a good idea if you emailed him anyway. Good luck.
