Kay, We think our Marie Ross's mother was a Moore. Her dates would be born ca 1770's to 80's in PA or Eng. and then came here young. Don't know her name, but she married Ross and had their daughter, Marie ca 1800-1810. It is a long shot and we have been up against this brick wall a long time. Thanks for any help.
