Posted on: Ross Family Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Ross/616 Surname: Ross, Loman, Smalley ------------------------- I have recently found that Lavinia's father was Robinson Ross, not Alonzo. Alonzo is one of her brothers. Robinson (her father) was born about 1812 in OH. He had married Sabra Smalley (daughter of Rev Freeman Jasper Smalley and Catherine Trader) on 10 Mar 1833 in Vermillion IL. Sabra was born about 1815 in Clinton OH. Other children include: Rachael M (1833 IN m Napoleon Bonapart Fergusson), Catherine (abt 1836), Mary, Alonzo "Lon" (1846 TX m Robina Moore), William "Billie" (abt 1850 m M A Hines), Adelia (abt 1857 m Wilkerson). And of course the Lavinia from my last message. Robinson's father was also named Robinson. Born abt 1780 in OH, died 13 Nov 1830 in Monroe OH. He married Mary Davis. They also had a daughter named Lovina. Anymore information or leads would be appreciated. Shannan
