My Alexander Ross was stolen off the streets of either Scotland or Northern Ireland and was indentured to Caleb Pusey at age of 12. Alexander Ross became a man of great wealth. He moved from Chester Co with a whole group of Quakers to found Hopewell Meeting in VA. >> Hi Cathy, I was interduced to a web site, in the last day or so,that mentions many of our Pa. residents that owned slaves. It also list many of their names. I have to admit that learning about this site, has really thrown me a bit. Many of my own family's names are listed their as slaveowners. I guess I have a lot to learn. I always thought that slavery was from the MASON-DIXON line down into the south.I knew that it extended into Maryland and that Delaware, seemed to stay nuetral. Though I knew of the many Indentured Slaves, I never knew our state was a slave owning state. Anyway, this site can be found at (DCGS) and I thank Anne Weigel, for letting me know about it. <A HREF="http://www.springhillfarm.com/broomhall/african.html">Click here: African-American Ches & Del Co Update 2/19/2000</A> http://www.springhillfarm.com/broomhall/african.html Mary Jane, Bright Star
