Dear Liza, My maiden name was also ROSS. I have traced them back to Delaware in the 1700-1800's. Then they went westward, everywhere. Some of the first names of my family-Gibson, William, Nathaniel, Caleb, Nancy, Edward, Mitchell, Charles, Thomas, Stockton J., Walter, Silas, Vernon, Milton, Joseph, James, Susannah. They were related to the former governor of Delaware - William Henry Harrison ROSS. Any of this sound familiar ? Happy to receive any information or clues. Best regards, Kathy bkross.edwards@comcast.net

This electronic version prepared by Paul B. Anderson FCCS (USN, Retired), Norfolk, Virginia Rev. Stephen B. Ross (born 1800) was a well-known minister in Grayson Co., VA. He was the son Joseph Ross, who was the son of Rev. George Ross (not certain which was the pioneer in Grayson). Stephen Ross married in 1818 to Elizabeth Anderson; their son Joseph married Luzenia Anderson (daughter of John and Feraby Cornett Anderson). Fields' text, re the Flatridge community, states that Joe Ross had a grist mill on Panther Creek (no date). (Which Joe Ross, father or son of Stephen? probably the son). Stephen R. was buried on Kyle Anderson's farm in the Rockbridge community. Scottish name. F. B. Kegley identifies Ross as Scots-Irish (Sayers, 211). Contact Virginia Smith, Mercersburg, PA for more information. Jacob and John Anderson are on the 1781 militia list (Mont. Co.); James A. is on the 1783 list. On the Mont. Co. taxpayer list are these Andersons: William, Peter, James, Isaac, Thomas, Jacob, John, Cornelius, and George. According to family tradition Jacob and John were brothers; in the 1820 U.S. Census, Grayson Co., VA, Jacob states he was born in NJ (probably the Delaware River Valley). The brothers settled near Middle Fox Creek circa 1780. John left a will written 07 Jan 1826, probated 1830, naming wife Mary and children, Nancy, Milley, Elizabeth, George, Isaac, William, Joseph, and Jonathan. Elizabeth and her husband Reverend Stephen B. Ross (married 12 Mar 1818) inherited the homeplace. Descendants have been traced through William (married Catherine Walling) and Isaac (married Elizabeth Parks). [Edited by PBA] No will has been found for Jacob, but he and wife Susannah had a son, John, who married Feraby Cornett; they are buried at their homesite, on the original grant, the Garnett Anderson place, Rt. 658. Jacob's daughter; Rebecca, married John Hash, and another daughter, Nancy, married William Hash. Other issue of Jacob and Susannah probably included Thomas, Peter, and Jacob Jr. Peter later went to Hancock Co., TN. Maj. James Anderson of Albemarle Co., VA, who came to the New River, married Martha (Patsy) Nuckolls, daughter of John Nuckolls, an early settler in the Grayson area. James might be a brother to Jacob and John; family journeys often started from PA/NJ on the Wagon Road with stop-overs in counties along the way, such as Albemarle. Patsy and James A. reared a family near Galax and are buried in the Anderson cemetery there (Nuckolls, 67). Family discussed in Nuckolls text. I am related to the Ross family mentioned here...I have a family history that my father's cousins gave to him around ten years ago;both hand written and typed out. The only problem is that it goes on into other sides of the family at a certain point and I son't have names for my own grandfather and on down the line. I'm glad you posted this,though,it matches the papers that were given to my father. Much appreciated! Liza Ross. --------------------------------- Yahoo!

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Herbert BARTLETT which was taken at the H. Siewert Studio in Puyallup, Washington. I believe that the photograph was taken in the 1880's with Herbert probably about 1-2 years old at the time. Based on limited research I believe that this may be a photograph of Herbert Edward BARTLETT b. 26 Apr 1883 in Puyallup, WA to parents Joseph Elbridge BARTLETT and Mildred Ann ROSS. Herbert died 26 Dec 1918 at the age of just 35. I'm hoping to locate someone from this family, so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Hoping some-one has info. om these people or any ideas. In the early to mid 1800s a female GLOVER married a male ROSS somewhere in Scotland. They emigrated to South Africa and raised a family in the Pietermaritzburg area not far from Durbin. All their childre were given the hyphenated surname of GLOVER-ROSS. MY father who was in South Africa serving in the Boer War married one of their daughters, a Margaret GLOVER-ROSS. Does anyone have connections to this family or any ideas.
