Posted on: Ross Family Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Ross/636 Surname: ROSS, BAZE, WILLOUGHBY, BLACK, SHULTZ, SHULTS ------------------------- Alexander ROSS was a bishop/minister in Edinburgh, Scotland. Not sure if this is our ROSS ancestor, but it adds honey to the pot in searching. Could be a lead. Susan Dry [email protected] ============================================================ Record from "Ross Family History" by J. Montgomery Seaver (1929) Page 22: Prominent British Rosses, Past Generations: Alexander Ross: (1647?-1720); bishop of Edinburgh; in 1678 as admitted to his first charge in the Old Church of Perth; elected to divinity chair at Glasgow; principal of St. Mary's College. With the fall of James II, he became an important figure in ecclesiastical politics; went to London in support of James, but he had already fled. Ross was a man of character, accomplishment and ability; neither on the occasion of the union (1707) nor of the rebellion (1715) did he emerge into public politics. ============================================================ This was previously posted in this ROSS family listing.
