Posted on: Knox Co. Oh Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Knox/524 Surname: ROSS ------------------------- Hello. My name is Joan Eyre and I am researching ROSS. At this time I am following a lead to Knox County, Ohio that may or may not be the right path, but I need more information before I abandon it. I have an Edward ROSS, son of Hugh ROSS. Hugh was admitted to the PA Bar in 1801. After that he moved a few place, ultimately settling in Milford, Pike County, PA, where he married Catharine BIDDIS. Hugh and Catharine had 2 children, Edward and Louisa. I don't have the dates of their births, but interperate from the book that gave the above information (John Ross and the Ross Family) that they were born after 1801. Edward graduated from West Point. He was a professor of mathematics at Kenyon College. He was twice married, but I have no names. The marriages resulted in several children, again no names or dates. He died at the Free Academy, New York City (no date) The book also states that "His descendants are numerous in Ohio) My grandfather was Thomas ROSS. He was from a family that migrated from Ohio to Iowa. So I am trying to determine if I can make a connection from Edward ROSS and my grandfather. If anyone has any information, I thank you in advance. Joan
Joan, I haven't researched the Ross family much but do have some. My Gr. Grandfather Merriman Boramon Stevenson (M.B.S.) Hall was born in Knox County, Ohio Dec. 27, 1819. He married Mary Ann Ross in 1843 in Knox County, Ohio. Mary Ann died after giving him several children, two of which survived, one was my Grandfather T.R. Halls 1/2 brother Joseph Hall who ultimately settled in Rose Hill, KS after a try in Okla Territory I.T. in 1891. He returned to Rose Hill but was in Florida for a while. I have quite a bit on that family if that is of interest. There was a daughter to that first marriage, believe without checking her name was Melissa. She ended up in Okla. and married and lived in Stroud, OK. Have names of Mary Ann's parents and other if this well help. Good Luck and God Bless you. I have never found parents for M.B.S. Hall.
