I have a John Wesley Ross b. 2/14/1878 in KY - his brother Reuben Asberry is my GGGrandfather. Is this the same family?I have their father listed as James Wesley.

Of course, that's why we have not considered it a given that he did have another wife, just a possibilty. We also have to consider disease. Many children succumbed to illness. There are no records in Somerset County of other children, but because we don't know where the family lived prior to Somerset, there could have been others of whom we are not aware. Thanks for the reminder. Jean

Sandy, Hi. Please contact me off line at smcpeach@earthlink.net. I have Reuben Asberry Ross as the son of Elijah Ross. Elijah Ross was the son of Elizabeth Crass Barnett Ross & James Wesley Ross. I descend from Elisha Crass & Sarah Ross. Elisha Crass was a younger brother of Elizabeth Crass Barnett Ross. Sarah Ross was the sister of James Wesley Ross. I have a Crass family photograph (taken before 1917) with Elijah Ross & wife Nancy Jane Redden in it if you would like a copy.

I had forgotten about George and Constance. Oddly enough, I am working on a ROBB-LITTLE line from the Washington Co, PA area. The ROBB's married into my ROSS family from Cumberland Co, PA. So maybe I will be able to connect Constance in somewhere early in America. I do have a George H. ROSS in my 5th generation, a brother to my Sullivan ROSS. Is the George and Constance Ross line on the internet somewhere? Some believe my Hugh ROSS was born in Scotland as well before 1760, however, I feel Hugh may actually have been born in Northern Ireland and his father in Scotland. But my ROSS' have made it difficult to track them as they did not document very much of anything. Richard Ross Iowa

>Secondly, James had a son Jacob. We feel his and Elizabeth's mother >might have been different from the mother of the other children >because of the gap in ages between the two groups but have no >confirmation yet. Years between children does generally indicate a second marriage, but not always. He could have been away on a cattle drive, or in one of the many wars. And then it could have been Mother Nature. My parents had a son and daughter born 2 years and 3 days apart. They thought they were through with their family. "Surprise, Surprise" I came along. I just thought I would throw that little titbit in. Hazel Scanned for viruses by Blue Coat http://www.WinProxy.com/

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.

In 1997 I published THE ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS OF HERMAN AND CATHERINE LOWRY ROSS. It is a definitive record of ten generations of Ross family history from the first historical record of James Ross in Somerset/Bedford County in 1783 to the present generation. I have done biographical sketches of the first seven generations starting with James. I have used court documents, maps, newspaper clippings, pictures, Civil War records, etc. Contact me if you are interested in knowing more about the book.

Hi, I am searching for Rachel Ross and have no idea where she came from. She was married to Reginald Prather and they lived in Mason Co., KY. If you have any Rachels, at all, I would be grateful for her info, I could run it down and see if she is a possible for me. Spirit

Hi Linda, Nice to hear from you. Good question (a response that usually means, "Idon't know", which is the case here). Actually, we might have some ROSSes went to NC. Adam ROSS, son of James, was married first to Dorothea WILL. Dorothea was the daughter of Daniel WILL (b 1746/7 Berks Co, PA), son of Gerhard WILL b. Hessen-Kassel who died in Tryon Co, NC in 1778. Evidently part of a religious settlement, there are some records on him and I thought I might find some associated ROSSes among them, but my checking the records was limited to old newsletters on file at the Tampa Library. People did often migrate in groups and James' daughter Mary married a Christopher BURKET, also from Hessen-Kassel. The Y-DNA shows recent ancestral origins (over past several hundred years) concentration in the British Isles and Ireland, next is Germany, and minor evidences of British Isles, Moldove (of all places!), the Netherlands, Poland, Scotland, and Wales. I still don't know enough about the DNA process to identify exactly what all these results mean, but am assuming that there is evidence of the YDNA in descendants from each of those countries.

Hi Paul, There is a book published my Mary Pyle PALMER called Descendants of Herman and Cathering Lowry Ross" detailing more of the later generations, but giving pretty much what we know of James and his family. She and I have worked on this line for years. I do have a copy of the book and if there is anything I can look up for you, I will be happy to do so. First of all, I am wondering why you have the birthplace possibly in PA? Do you have some sort of evidence to that effect? Secondly, James had a son Jacob. We feel his and Elizabeth's mother might have been different from the mother of the other children because of the gap in ages between the two groups but have no confirmation yet. The name Wesley doesn't appear in our line, but it does in some collateral lines. There is a Wesley GIBBONEY (intermarried with WESTOVERs who intermarried with ROSSes) and Calvin Wesley BITTNER. Looks as if the latter was a mingling of Methodists with Presbyterians. In searching my files, I see I had some contact with you back in 1992. Sorry to see you have not really been successful in much of your ROSS research since then. I put away my work for ten years as well after the death of my husband in an auto accident but it is something never far from my mind. I am attaching a few photos of various ROSSes to see whether you can discern any resemblance to your ROSS line. So far as DNA research goes, if you have a male ROSS relative who would be willing to do the test, it would be a stab in the dark but might eventually match another line as the data base expands. The cost is a little less than two hundred dollars, but I felt it could save more than that in research expenses if it provides information. Nonetheless, it is a fascinating look into the past migrations of our ancestors. I am looking forward to hearing from you again. Best wishes, Jean in FL
