Searching for info. on Francis Marion Ross, Jr. who served in the Confederate Army, was captured at Tiller's Bridge, NC and sent to Hart's Island, NY POW Camp, paroled June of 1865. As far as we know he did not return to Alabama. Where did he go or what happened to him after he was paroled? Thanks Gadson S. Ross

Hi Robert, Are there any Carrolls way back in your family from Maryland? My GGGgrandfather was Robert C. Ross b. 1820. Came from Lancaster, PA to West Philadelphia. This is the area where the rest of the Rosses stayed including me. However, my great aunt Nance claimed that Robert C. Ross was a descendant of a Carroll family in Maryland. Have never been able to trace this back. Am always looking for clues! Susan Ross Clark

Historical Association Moses Ross 955B Moses Ross was born April 16, 1785, in NC. In 1808 he married Mary Spurling, daughter of John Spurling. There is no record of children born of this union. Mary must have died early, for in 1819 he married Rachel Bookout (b. May 15, 1804 - d. April 29, 1863). They were the parents of eight children: Osburne (b May 3, 1823 - d May 5, 1863) married a first cousins Easter Lettie Bookout. He died of measles at Goldsboro while in the Confederate Army. Their children were:James married Marsella Patterson; Elizabeth married Martin Ledford; John moved to Mississippi, Martin went to Arkansas, Annalizer married John Hord and Moses married Mary Ledford. Elizabeth Ross born 1828 died 1871 and was buried in the Ross Family Cemetery "Rock Cut". She never married. Perry Ross, born 1831, married Margaret Morrison. After he came home from the Civil War, he and Margaret went to Quitman, Arkansas where he died in 1905. They had no children. Moses C. Ross Jr. born 1835, was killed at Manasses, VA in 1862 fighting in the Civil War. Easter Lettie Ross, born 1837 married Able Hardin. They had no children but they adopted two; Alice and Easter Lettie inherited most of her father's estate and deeded some of this land for what is now Ross Grove Baptist Church on Highway 18 outside of Shelby, NC. Easter Lettie and Able Hardin are buried at Ross Grove Baptist Church Cemetery. Decendants of Moses Ross meet at this Church on the last Sunday in September for a reunion each year. Relatives welcome. Julia Ann Ross born 1841 died in 1869. She never married. She is also buried at "Rock Cut" family cemetery. Noah Webb Ross born in 1843 married Elizabeth Jane Wilson; they were parents of eight children:Albert Moses born 1867, married Alice Myers Proctor; Plato O. Ross born 1870, married Julia Camby; George A. Ross born 1872, d 12-6-1886; Melinda M.J. born 1873, married Sam Camby (father of Plato's wife), Fannie Laura Ann 1876, married William Kertis White; C.C. born 1878, (Margaret) married Barry C. Hamrick; Sallie Aline Ellen born 1881, married William Yoder; Noah Wright Ross born 1883, married Georgia ----and Noah Webb Ross married Nancy Regina Ha___n the second time and they were the parents of four children; Reuban Jacob Forest born 1891 married Elizabeth Ramsey; Lettie Ula Belle Ross born 1897 married Tom Ramsey; Ada Maude Matine born 1900 married Cecil Jenkins and John Lester Crowell Ross born 1903 married Mary Lou Houser. Elizabeth Jane Wilson Ross died 11-27-1886, nine days before her son George died. Moses Ross was a large land owner in Cleveland Co and we believe this was from a land grant. Buried in the Ross Cem. located across from the present home of the Paul Weathers Family or what remains due to destruction by time, elements and with some help by local farmers who continued to edge closer in, the cemetery has almost disappeared. This is on the old Shelby Airport Road off Hwy 18. There is as stone which bears the names of James Ross and Hannah Ross. We believe these to be the parents of Moses Ross born in 1785. written by--Elizabeth Camp Anthony (((my note: from census records, it would appear that Moses Ross above did have some children with his 1st wife, Mary Spurling))) and same book: JAMES Ross 951 The research for the early Rosses in Rutherford County show the name spelled as Ross, Rose, Ruse, and Russ. Clerks, in those days, spelled names as they sounded to them. The Rock Cut Section, about three miles north east of Shelby, is where the Moses Ross family "burying ground;; is located. Along with other tombstones, one inscription reads: James .Ross Hannah Ross Died May 2, 1829, aged 95 (born 1734) Died April 11, 1835, aged 90 (born 1745) It is logical to believe that they were parents or grandparents of Moses Ross, for several reasons. The 1790 census of Rutherford County, Morgan District, lists two men by the name of James Ross, each with a male under the age of sixteen. No other Rosses were listed in the County. Bible records show that Moses was born 1785. The 1800 census lists the two James Rosses, both forty-five and up, but only one as having a male 10-16, which could have been Moses. However, two William Rosses had males of Moses approximation. By 1810, 1 Moses was listed in his own household. Other ""Rosses listed were, George, George, and \Solomon on page 430. On page 343, were James, James Sr., James Jr., Samuel and Moses. None of the above Jameses were old enough to have been the James born 1734. No other Ross household, from 1810 through 1840, showed anyone of James' and Hannah's ages. It is assumed that, because of their advanced years, they were living with one of their daughters or granddaughters, married names unknown. Moses and James Ross were chain-bearers when a survey of 300 acres of land was made for James Ross on July 21, 1793. It was in "Rutherford County on the headwaters of Hickory Creek, both sides of said creek joining Criders line, joining William Hanes land, including own improvement and the land the Meeting House is on and round it for complement, granted to self" (1779-1795 — S.S. 962.1, unindexed book at Raleigh). This is the same land that Moses Ross devised to his daughter, Easter Lettie Ross Hardin, and she gave fifteen acres of it for Ross Grove Baptist Church. In order to try to establish the relationship between James and Moses, an important deed found is; "August 14, 1814, James Rutherford to Moses Ross land on Hickory Creek [volume 22-23, page 420)", which is the same and James Ross bought on February 2,1801 from Joshua Earles. No sale was found for this land and how James Rutherford received the land is unknown. The Reverend Sherman Ross prepared an Historical Sketch of the Ross family which was read at the Ross family reunion at Waco on September 6, 1958. He wrote: "Something over 200 years ago, three Ross brothers came over from Scotland, Ireland. One of the brothers went West and Moses came here to North Carolina, and as to where the others went, there is no record. To our great grand-father, Moses, that came over from Ireland, his grandmother wrote in his Bible: "When I am dead and gone — remember me and Mother. I may meet you in heaven. My days is not many. I am going to heaven. God told me so. God bless. I will see you there." Does this mean that the grandmother of Moses was Hannah of the tombstone record? She outlived James. Much research has been done in an attempt to distinguish between the two James Ross in Rutherford County of the early census reports. Research continues to hide documentary proof that James was the father or grandfather of Moses. The closest is Moses approximation in the 1790 and 1800 census reports, of James Ross and Moses being chain-bearers in James Ross' survey and Moses acquisition of James Ross' Iand ; through James Rutherford, plus the grave the present Cleveland County of James R (1734-1829) and his wife, Hannah (1745- 1835). written by— Mrs. Grady F Ross

Can anyone on either The ROSS or The LEE lists tell me of a connection between these two families,,,??? I have found info that suggests that Leonard S. Ross of Southern ILL was a cousin to Gen. Robert E. Lee... Would appreciate any info or leads as to where to look.. :-) Thanks Susan

Audrey, This may be the Solomon Ross I've been looking for. I have him born in Ireland father to Jessie Helton Ross, born 1 jul 1811 in North Carolina, died 15 jan 1881 Greene County, Tennessee. A marriage date of 23 jan 1793 would be about right. Please e-mail and we can compare notes. Nicole

My grandfather, however many greats, Stephen Ross was born in New England, ab 1814, and according to various sources he was born in Mass or Maine. Of course, the state of maine was created between his birth and death times, so both references were correct. I think I have traced him to upstate NY, where my line continues, and so I work to find them......just thought I would check in, cause it is nice to know we do not search alone......Pauline Waite Harper in sunny Florida.....heading home to NY soon..... -------Original Message------- From: Nancy Porter Date: 03/14/06 14:20:49 To: ROSS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ROSS-L] North Yarmouth Rosses Judie: Those Rosses in North Yarmouth haven't been fun to try to find.

Well, I'm just getting back into genealogy research after nearly ten years. My search then continues for the siblings and parents of Lazarus Ross (b.1804, Ohio or KY?). Has anyone out there advanced that quest? Would also appreciate an update from the other Lazarus Ross (b. 1880?) family -- still wonder if there could be a link. Thanks, Marvin Ross rossarts@cox.net
