Osiyo Michael, I descend from the Ross line too. I will check to see if your ancestors are anywhere near mine. Have you checked online yet for his burial place? Thanks. J.

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.

If you'd like, I can perhaps take some digital photographs of your ancestors headstones if they are at the same cemetaries and send them to you.

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.
