Thomas Ross researchers, I am looking for Clarissa Ross who married in Morgan Co. in 1830 to James W. Patterson. Haven't had a whisper of parents for her. If you run across Clarissa please contact me. James & Clarissa moved back & forth from Morgan to Muskingum county a time or two, but ended up settling in Muskingum by 1870. I did acquire some ROSS probate files from Muskingum Co., but there isn't much information in them. Here's what the family looks like: As you can see, Clarissa's birthplace is not exactly established...
