I'd like to help but cannot connect your Samuel Ross to my Ross records in Bath county, VA. There was at least one Samuel Ross born in Bath much earlier than yours but Samuel Ross is a common name - as you may know. My Ross line left Bath County between 1840 and 1850. --Dick Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: Genfam333@aol.com To: rosscard@nycap.rr.com Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 8:23 PM Subject: Ross Hi Looking for information on this family.
