My ornery grandfather born in 1852 was Andrew Ross with a brother William. His father Murdock came from Scotland. (I don't believe it any more - I think they all were dropped from another planet.) Unknown who other family members are. If your Rosses came from Nova Scotia (mainly Halifax/Lunenburg) we could be related. Their inherited skill seems to be carpentry, automobile mechanics and electrical trades and living to a ripe old age as well as hiding their paper trail. Looking for a link.

Elizabeth Grider Children: James Ervin, Silas L., Margaret Sidney, Martha Ann, Gilmore Lee, Lydia, Nancy Adeline, & Lula May Anyone who can help me connect Hugh M. Ross to Hugh and Nancy Ross will have a new star in their crown! Thanks and HAPPY HUNTING, COUSINS. Dee {:)

Hi Listers, I believe that perhaps I've been pursuing a counterfeit ROSS. I was finally able to establish my line to Perrin Ross who was killed in 1778 in the Battle of Wyoming, Luzerne Co., PA. However, according to the LDS records which I found, Perrin's father was Jerimah Ross of Windham CT. Perrin's grandfather was listed as Joseph RUSS and the rest of the male ancestors bear the name RUSS and the families originated in Suffolk England. Could it be that I'm not a true ROSS after all ? :( Thanks for the anticipated comment, Alice Searching TUPPER, ROSS, MCCUMBER, KEECH, PRINCE, FASSETT, and others

Well, Ross relative . . . I've certainly enjoyed the "color" you put into your messages even if I can't help you! I'm currently stuck on my grandfather WILLIAM ROSS. If I had your DAVID, I'd sure consider myself honored to pass along the info you need! Keep up the momentum you have brought back to the ROSS researchers! COWABUNGA to you too!!!

It seems there's an official manhunt on for missing ROSSes. I would like to take this opportunity to post another MISSING PERSONS's message for my grandfather: Name: William Ross Date of Birth: Unknown (about 1880) Place of Birth: Unknown (Georgia or Tennessee) Married: Julia E. Langley Date of Marriage: August 22, 1880 Place of Marriage: Morgan County, TN Date of Death: Unknown (after 1908 and before 1910) Place of Death: Unknown (probably TN but rumors leave possibility open for Montana) Children: William Ross (born 6/27/1905 in Coalfield, TN) Ronald Ray Ross (my father) (born 8/20/1908 in Coalfield, TN) It has been said (may be rumor but probably not) that he came from a sibiling group of about 13; moved to TN from GA with 2 brothers. Now, with a family that big, I highly doubt that they ALL are lost. Someone on this list is probably looking for the same family that we are. All they have to do is find a William in their ROSS file that matches the rough data I've presented here. Please . . . would everyone please check their WILLIAM ROSSes and see if they have anyone who fits this description? As for a reward . . . I'll provide you with family information of the best ROSS family I know of -- mine! Who could ask for anything more!!! <smile> Thanks for your help . . .

Beware of counterfeit searches and stumbling stampedes of wannabe's!! !!! ! ! ! ! The one and only WORLD-WIDE-INTERPOL manhunt subject is the DAVID ROSS who died at Washington County, Ohio (Adams Township) near Coal Run. He married Zerviah Sprague who was born in 1786 probably in Adams, Berkshire MA.

When I was in Delaware I copied lots of ROSS information. Since I don't type without looking it would be easier to share the information as an attachment that I could scan. Especially since we don't send attachments to the ROSS list. Just let me know what cemetery or a specific name & death date. I will be happy to respond to anyone that wants the information. Don't forget-ONLY ROSSES(I don't have anything else).

Would someone please give an explanation of exactly where this "HUNDREDS" name came from. I have heard several explanations & all of them very different. Thanx, Kathy

For the sake of truth in advertising; 1) "Everyone" has not pitched in; 2) THE David ROSS of Washington County Ohio is still lost 3) The nationwide dragnet still continues with great focus. 4) Find em all but don't forget "my Dave."

Found these David Ross names in Ontario Canada Census for 1901" David Ross born 10.6/1859 David Ross born Scotland 12/16/1830 Wife: Mary born 8/15/1839 David Ross (son of John & Anna) born 3/24/1875 Ann b. 11/5/1846 -mother John b. 1833 - father If anyone wants more info on one of these Davids let me know and I can recheck the data for you at Ancestry.Com

Everyone has pitched in to find David Ross, How about helping me find my GGrandfather James Ross. Here is all I know about him, I have tried all I can think of. Any info would be great. James Ross, Father of Joseph B or R Ross, Married Almira or Elmira ???? according to the 1880 census for chicago cook county for Joseph R Ross ( it is my Grandfather My Grandmother's name is correct.) he was born in Ireland as was Almira/Elmira. Joseph was born in 1854 or 1855 in chicago his death certificate said he lived in chicago 41 years and he was 41 when he died. James must have died before 1860 as Almira/Elmira married again to William J/G Bigley and their first child was born in 1861 or 1862. I got her first name from the depositions of the will of their Son William L Bigley. Two of his sisters gave depositions and said that Almira in one and Elmira in the other deposition was married before to James Ross and their Son Joseph lived with the Bigleys when he was growing up. One of my cousins in the Ross family, told me they got notification when William L died in Nov 1933 and they asked my Father, who told them that "we do not talk to that side of the family and to throw the notification away". Any info will be greatly appreciated. Joan Ross

Having watched the list for a week or so it seems as though most of the ROSS families under investigation are in the US but I'll give it a go anyway! I have very little information about my family but what I have was gathered from my reluctant grandmother (Grace Winifred ROSS - see below) before she died in 1988. Unfortunately she couldn't understand why I was interested in the past! I believe that although John Howard ROSS and Emilie KERR married in Dublin, they both came from the north. Apparently John Howard's mother was living in Belfast at the turn of the century. John & Emilie's marriage entry gives his occupation as Jeweller and his father, Robert John ROSS, as Mechanical Engineer. My grandmother also mentioned staying with relatives by the name of KNOX, including an Anna Mary KNOX. I don't know if these would be related to the ROSS family or the KERR's though. Nathaniel ROSS was a presbyterian minister and eventually went to South Africa where I believed he married but had no children. His sister Grace Jane ROSS died unmarried.

Picture this: You are on your own private jet, flying at 37 thousand feet, debating minute points of intertial navigation and 16th century poetry with the very pilot you hired. You are drinking a cocktail of freshly juiced tropical fruits and eating the finest cheeses and fish. You are enroute to one of your Summer homes, this one- on the coast of a tropical island, where a team of your hand picked staff await to fulfill your every wish. Tomorrow your 45-foot launch will take you to a place where a waterfall tumbles into an electric blue lagoon with colorful fish and anemonies of every type. Next week you will be in London to check on your investments and flyfish on the property of titled gentry whom you discovered in your family line. This is all taking place because you helped Peter find HIS-- David Ross-- and Peter has been relieved of the deep depressive weight on his back worrying about the well being of David Ross' ancestors. You enabled Peter to unleash his potent abilities on his professional interests. He has made it big and has rewarded you comensurately with your contribution to his life and to the comfort of David Ross' kin and ancestors. You find yourself on that plane, launch and in London by looking carefully at: http://members.aol.com/fourc/ross.text.html and finding David Ross' parents and homeland and communicating this to Peter. You are good. You are sage. You are quick and alert and able to discern between other searchers for non-authentic David ROSS men who lived elsewhere other than described in the web site above. Good work. Keep it up. Your staff is waiting. P

Hi All, I recieved some info. from a very nice person on another list who thinks there is a good chance that my Reuben Ross connects to the following: Elder Reuben Ross was in the vicinity of Todd CO., KY, which is on the TN border. This Reuben's activities centered on Robert Co., TN; Montgomery Co., TN; Stewart Co., TN; Logan Co., KY; Todd Co., KY; Christian Co., KY. His "permanent" residence was considered to be six miles from Clarksville, TN. Since Rev. Finis Ewing later settled in Cooper CO., MO, I'd say this is worth investigating. Elder Reuben Ross was born 9 May 1776. Would anyone descend from Elder Reuben Ross and know his lineage? I would be looking for one of his descendants that went into Cooper Co. MO Thanks Jag _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
