Hi Pete, just came across your note and will pass on this info that I found on Francis' death certificate in Princeton, IN. it gives his place of birth as NC, nothing about his mother. It may or may not be correct as I have found many errors on both birth and death certificates.

I am looking for any help on finding the family of Margaret Ross. We think her husbands name is John. She is listed in the 1850 census in Fall River Mass.in the census are also listed dau Matilda age 15 George H 12 Mary A 11 James 10 and John W 4 he is my great grandfather. also at the same number listed is SophiaMcBlance(sp?)age 60 Eletia Dailey(Margarets oldest dau) and her husband William with a son John 1 yr. also at the same Thomas Pine age 22 and Catherine Pine his wife. so the husband is not here. the youngest child John was born in Rhode Island but i find no trace of john there either. perhaps he died there after john was born Margaret was born in Ireland in1810 and i think Elitia was born in England.before she came here we do not know if John the husband was born here or there If anyone can help in locationg the family it would be so wonderful thank you

I'm responding to your query because of a remarkable circumstance. I have a great grand uncle, FRANCIS MARION ROSS, born 29 Oct 1829, in MARENGO, Liberty Twp., Crawford County, Indiana. His father, my great great grandfather, Isaac Ross apparently was born in Kentucky. Exactly where in KY, I have yet to discover. Just thought I'd pass this on. To the best of my knowledge, there is no connection with any of the Ross family who were located in SC, AL, or MS. However, I truly do not know for sure the location of Isaac's birthplace. John, Couild your Isaac Ross be Isaac Ambrose Ross m.to Elizabeth Gordon in Lincoln County, KY?

Hi John Ross, I am Mr. ROSS's cousin Jean. My ancestors are all from PA from the 1700s but descendants went to other states, some to KS, to VA, to AZ, CA etc. Among your other names listed the only one looking familar is BURKHART. Christopher BURKET was a Revolutionary War soldier who moved to PA from NJ and married Mary Ann ROSS, daughter of James. I will check your web sit and also keep your name on hand in the event I come across any clues. Cordially, Jean Hudson Masco

John Wesley was the theologian who, basically, was responsible for the church that became the Methodist Church. He died in 1791. Many of our ancestors were named for people who were famous or well thought-of in their time. Like kids today who are named "Elvis" or "Brittany" or their derivatives. "Sterling" is used in English for "strong, firm or immovable," or "of the highest quality." Franklin Ross (named for a relative who was probably named for Benjamin Franklin, not Franklin Delano Roosevelt) lclevers <lclevers@cfl.rr.com> wrote: I have 3 John Wesley's in my PA ROSS line. First one born 1837, strange thing is that the other two are not in the same direct line. I also have Sterling's in several different branches, was there a special reason for parents to name their son's Wesley and Sterling's? My ROSS line were pioneer settlers of Scranton which was know as Slocum Hollow when they first settled there. Where they came from before then is a mystery.

Hi, Listed in the first volume (ROSSES OF NEW JERSEY) were a "Nash" (Noah) CLARK married to Crissie Ann ROSS m. abt 1785. No other information. Do any you with New Jersey ROSS connections recognize this couple? I would appreciate ANY scrap of evidence. The above Noah was NOT the son of Abraham CLARK, signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Hello All, I am still hoping to discover where my Reuben Ross and his father-in-law, Isaac Green, came to the Carolinas from. Reuben Ross is in Halifax Co, North Carolina in 1759 through 1761 then disappears until he shows up in as a neighbor in 1771 in what was then St. Mark's Parish of Craven County, South Carolina (later called Old Sumter District and still later called Clarendon Co, SC). Reuben is apparently dead sometime before his last child was born in 1776 in SC. Reuben married Priscilla Green about 1761 and their first child was born in 1762. Priscilla was named in her father, Isaac Green's 1769 South Carolina will as daughter Priscilla Ross. The first property record for Isaac in SC was 1771. He seems to have been in NC in 1759.

Good luck. For anyone whose ROSS came from Somerset County or is connected to the family THE ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS OF HERMAN AND CATHERINE LOWRY ROSS by Mary Pyle Palmer is an excellent investment. Not only does it have the records described, but many quality pictures as well. It's a compilation of many years of meticulous research.
