looking for a cousin of mine who used to live in Long Beach, California. we lived across town from one another, but I moved away and misplaced his address. the various address searches say the address I had for him can't be found (I wonder if the house was torn down and replaced by something? it was on one of our main streets) I found his address this past week, but try as I can, neither his email or his address work. does anyone know where he is? please reply off-list.

Hallo, I am looking for connections with my father's side of the family. He was Charles Gordon Corsican Ross; he had 3 siblings - Hilda May, Albert Butler and Phoebe all born in Hammersmith London between 1908 and 1913 (my dad was born in 1920). Hilda May remained in Hammersmith all her life, my father and mother and I lived in Battersea South London. However, I have no idea or threads to go on re Albert and Phoebe. I believe one or both of them may have emigrated but have no idea. Any ideas from anyone most appreciated! Thanks Sylvia Ross --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone else on this list is researching Ross' in Kentucky more specific in Lincoln Co. Ky. Currently I am stuck at my Great-Great Grandfather Jerry Ross(1840 - ?). Thanks, Charles _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search. Find. Check out the new MSN Search! http://search.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200636ave/direct/01/
I am researching the Ross line that was in that part of Lincoln Co., KY that became Casey Co. in 1806. Daniel Ross, born about 1765 probably in Scotland, died 1827 in Casey Co., married 1786, Elizabeth "Betsy" Burks, born about 1770, died 1840. I don't find a Jerry Ross (1840-) in my records. Does anyone have John Sandifer (1841-) who was in Lincoln and Casey Counties and may have married Martha Fox on 9 Oct 1859; Sarah Jane Hast on 15 Sep 1863; Mahalee Ann Morris on 11 Jan 1866; and Rebecca J Morgan on 1 Dec 1868. These marriages may not be to the same John Sandifer. John Sandifer is a descendant of Daniel Ross.

Am looking for any information on a GLOVER [female] and a ROSS [male] who were married and used the hyphenated name of GLOVER-ROSS for themselves and their children. They or their parents, came from the U.K. and emigrated to South Africa, they were living in the Pietermaritzburg area [not far from Durban] in the late 1800s and early 1900s. One of their daughters was a Margaret GLOVER-ROSS who was born at Foxhill, Pietermaritzburg in the early 1880s. Does anyone have a connection to this family ?? Regards, Pam [RENNEY] McKinley.
List, anyone with ROSS & MAYES in WALLINS CREEK, HARLAN Co.KY? I also have WHITEAKER & STAMPER from HARLAN County. and in CLAIBORNE Co.TN. the same above names. thanks Ray Moore.

Found this info in the book referenced above. Don't know if this group is related to my Reuben Ross or not but suspect there may be some connection. Alas, I've no proof of that but thought I'd share in case it helps someone out there. I do not own the book but photo copied these pages. The House of Plant of Macon, GA by G.S. Dickerman published 1900 page 114 "There were plants on the James river(Virginia) as well as in New England, and the names Parrish, Cooper, Powell, Bassett, Hall, Matthewes, Gibbes, Wilson, Ross, Bennett, Grimes, Redding, Taylor, Halloway, Holt, Lane, Battle and Alford were sommon to the Northern ands Southern colonies. The Ross families are noticeable in this way. There was an Alexander Ross in New Hampshire in 1688, another at Mount Holly, New Jersey, who came from Scotland before 1752, another, also from Scotland, who was an officer in the British army in the Revolutionary War and another in Old Norfolk county, Virginia as early as 1658, who was probably the progenitor of the Ross family of North Carolina and Georgia. Again, we find a John and a James in Pennsylvania, a Hugh in Berwick, Maine, a William in New Kent County, Virginia and all these names repeated in the Rosses of North Carolina. It seems highly probable from this that the several American families are all from a common Scottish ancestry. Mr. Luke Ross, who went with his family to Macon in 1721, was a native of Williamstown, North Carolina where his father John Ross and his grandfather William Ross had lived and brought up their families. It is recorded of William Ross that he bought of Edmund Smithwick, March 25, 1749, one hundred and fourty-seven acres page 115 of land for which he paid 224 pounds and the boundaries indicate that this was the homestead. This seems to fix the time of his coming to Williamstown. Previous to that is a deed of Oct. 12, 1742, in wihcih William Ross sold seventy-four acres of land with houses and orchards at Creswell, from which it would seem that his home had been there up to this time. In February, 1760, William Ross deeded two tracts of land containing fifty acres each to John Ross, and fifty acres more, including his house and plantation to William Ross, Jr., from which it would seem that these two were his sons. William Ross, Jr. was the father of a large family among whom were Rev. Martin Ross and Rev. Reuben Ross who were distinguished Baptist ministers. A book entitled "The Life and Times of Elder reuben Ross" by his son James Ross says that "the family originally came from Scotland and settled in Virginia, branches emigrating into Maryland and Virginia. William Ross emigrated from Virginia to Martin county, North Carolina. He was born August 9, 1731, O.S." Alexander Ross, who was in Old Norfolk county, Virginia in 1658, mentions in his will two sons, John and Alexander; and the former of these, called John Ross, Sr. mentions in his will, Oct. 20, 1712, his two sons of the same names, John and page 116 Alexander. Some twenty-five years later the two brothers John and Alexander Ross from Norfolk were land owners at Edenton, North Carolina and in 1753 Alexander bought an extensive tract on the west side of the Scuppernong river in the vicinity of Creswell. This indicates plainly that William Ross was of this Norfolk family though it does not appear exactly who his father was. When he bought the property at Williamston the deed was signed by John Ross as a witness. This, however, gives no intimation of the relationship. The mother of Luke Ross was Elizabeth Bennett, a dughter of Thoams Bennett, who was at Williamston as early as 1735".......... The remainder of this section was about the Bennett family and this was pretty much all there was in the book about the Ross' Hope it helps someone. Audrey

Hi Everybody, Because I have spent about the last five years writing the book, Silent WIndmills: Ancestry of Neva Viola Ross, it has been some time since being on the Ross list. As well, most E-Mail addresses of Ross cousins out their have changed and/or I have lost them. But I wanted to let people I promised know that the book is now finished. It can be reviewed at www.sherman.ws. Following is the (basic) Ross line shown in the book. Although this is a skeleton of my direct line, tons of Ross family information is included (see examples below) in the book including Penturf, Payton, and many other surnames. For the record, I do believe that Priscilla Estes was probably daughter of Richard Estes, but do give an alternative possibility. Substantial copies of documentation are included in the book. My Ross line: 1 JAMES ROSS, Sr. Sr. b: Abt 1793 KY d: September 20, 1859 in Woodson County, KS +NANCY MILLER b: Madison County, KY m: May 15, 1814 in Estill Co, KY. She died after 1859 in Wichita, Wilson County, KS. (Daugther of PRISCILLA ESTES and JACOB MILLER) 2 JAMES ROSS, Jr. b: April 07, 1824 Buchanan County, MO d: July 27, 1909 in Latah County, ID. +1)RACHEL E. JONES b: ca 1818-1820 d: in 1860 Wilson County, KS.

See proof of his marriage, his orphans Ellen Ross Fisher and Licena Jane Ross Hedrick, and how Benjamin Dodson fought for the orphans' pension from Nehemiah's Civil War service. (He also had a son Newton Jasper Ross) who died young. More importantly, see the proof that he was not a deserter. * Jacob Ross. His four marriages and many children by different wives are shown. * The murder of well known Kansas settler and hunter John Ross.

Hello, Seeking any info. on the marriage between female GLOVER and male ROSS. This couple were from the UK [England or Scotland], and married in the UK or possibly South Africa.

Seeking any information anyone may have on Burroughs Ross. Listed TWICE in 1850 census (August and October) due to relocation in Southern Indiana, ( District 45, Harrison County, as well as Jennings Township, Crawford County, IN). Seemingly most reliable census data indicates KY birth o/a 1815. Suspected date of death is 1856 - 1859, perhaps in Crawford County, Indiana. Date of death and specific place may help with determining birthdate, birthplace, parents, siblings etc. Married Melvina Crawford, 30 September, 1837, Crawford Cty, IN. and Margaret Dooley, 10 April 1853, Crawford Cty, IN. Three children with Melvina and one with Margaret. Note there are many possible variations in the spelling of the first name (i.e. Burres, Burries, Buras, Burrows, Burroughs, Boroughs, Burris etc.). Thanks for your assistance! Michael
