Debra and Daniel: If your Ross line included William Ross born bef 1800 in Scotland & died bef 11 Sept 1759 in Cumberland MD. He married Arminella Whiteside Bef 1718, daughter of Edward Whiteside and Ellinor Wallace I MAY have a connection for you. They came from Scotland to Canada thence to various parts of this country, including Virginia, Ohio, etc. I am not sure about the other parts of the country. But with the migration patterns of the Canadian imigrants I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there is a link between the various ROSS families. So far, I have found 10 different ROSS families and they may be related as some indications show the possibility. My ROSS line probably came from PA and NY then Blount Co., TN. Best wishes and Blessings.... Versy aka Henry Lawrence....
