It's not in any particular order - hope it will help someone! I'm not related to him that I know of - yet!

Nothing is in order in the book - no family chart, convenient lists, etc. Here is what I think you can add to what I have already given you: Lewis ROSS - John's brother - had one daughter, Araminta ROSS and two sons, John McDonald ROSS and Robert Daniel ROSS. The first husband of Jane ROSS (John's daughter) was Return J. MEIGS; her second husband was Andrew Ross NAVE. The first husband went off to the hunt for gold in California - can't find out yet what happened to him. Anyway, she remarried. Her second husband was killed in 1863. Listed as the favorite nephews of John Ross are: Daniel H. ROSS & William P. (Potter?) ROSS. They are both apparently the sons of John's sister Elizabeth. Apparently she married a man named Ross - I don't know who he was yet. It could possibly have been one of her cousins. Has anyone else been able to borrow this book yet? I hope you will and see if you can discover something I haven't found yet. So much of it has to do with various Indian business that it's hard to find things about his family - you know . . . the IMPORTANT stuff in the book. There is a good index which helps a lot. --------------5A044764CBD2AE04176E0107--
