This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5AB.2ACE/2757 Message Board Post: I am looking for ANY information about this person or his wife Eliza. Nehemiah Ross was my gggrandfather. Records indicate he was born in KY in 1807 and was on the tax rolls of Lawrence Co. (later Randolph Co.), AR as early as 1830. He was married to Eliza (b. @ 1814, IL - last name unknown) around 1842 in Randolph Co., AR (no marriage records located). Their children were James Skinner Ross, Catharine M. Ross, Martha Dupree Ross, Elizabeth Ellen Ross, and Nehemiah M. Ross, all born between the years of 1843 and 1853. Census records indicate the family lived in Davidson Twp., Randolph Co., AR through 1860. The 1870 census of Stone Co., MO shows Eliza living there with three of the daughters. There is no record of Nehemiah's whereabouts in 1870 nor of his possible demise/burial. Neither do we have any information about the ultimate fate of Eliza nor information about her burial. Nehemiah's and Eliza's daughter Elizabeth Ellen Ross was my ggrandmother who married James G. Qualls in Independence Co., AR on Christmas Day, 1873. Their daughter Effie Loutisha, married to Elles E. Hilton (living in Leann, Barry Co., MO virtually all of their married lives) was my grandmother. Again, I am looking for ANY information about Nehemiah Ross and/or his wife Eliza. Specifically, I would like to learn her maiden name and as well as the name of the parents of Nehemiah and where specifically in KY he was born. He may have been related to Obediah (Obadiah or Obed) Ross, as Obediah Ross is listed directly next to Nehemiah Ross in the Lawrence Co. AR tax records of 1830 and 1831.
