Donna: I about jumped out of my chair when I saw James Thomas Ross. Bue alas and alack, my James Thomas Ross was born 25 Nov 1808 in Blount Co, TN. m. Sarah (Sally) Cook 26 Jan 1833 in Blount Co TN. Then I saw your signature, we corresponded several years ago and decided we may or may not be related, probably not. However, there are too many coincidences in our Ross bowl of spaghetti to close out the file. So I will keep your query in the open file. Does anyone else have a James Thomas Ross in your file?? Best Wishes and blessings Henry Lawrence.
