I found the following message in the Rootsweb Archives and was wondering if that Alexander ROSS is the one who married Catherine CHAMBERS. Their daughter Mary married John LITTLER. From: A GENEALOGY OF THE NESBIT, ROSS, PORTER, TAGGART FAMILIES of Pennsylvania by Blanche T. Hartman, privately printed, Pittsburgh, PA 1929.  Page 48 ". . . Frequent riots occurred and arrests swelled the prisons to overflowing with the persons of the boldest and most intrepid leaders, many of whom, while absolutely deprived of their patrimonies by the state, were granted their personal liberty upon promise to emigrate to distant lands. Pennsylvania had her quota of these exiles, some of whom were sold into slavery in the colonies.- William ROSS, who joined the exodus from Scotland of 1749 and became the forbearer of the ROSSES of Rossville in York Co., Pa., first - took up his residence in Chester Co., where he lived as a freeman and was taxable in Nantmeal Township in 1753. While there is no particular evidence to prove that he was implicated in the uprising of 1748-9, it is probable that he was in view of the fact that when the struggle for separation from the mother country arose in 1775 he and his three sons espoused the American cause. He was accompanied by his brother Alexander ROSS who had either not seriously antagonized the government or had made his peace with it. He was appointed under the King's seal as commissary clerk or victualler to his majesty's forces in Pennsylvania and Virginia.         In 1761 William ROSS, then of Chester Co., Pa., purchased from his brother-in-law, John NESBIT, executor of the estate of John ACKER, fifty-one acres of land in Warrington Township, York Co. In 1772 he purchased from Jehu THOMAS an adjoining tract of twenty and one-half acres. In May 20, 1774 he received from THOMAS and John PENN, Esquires, a confirmation of a deed to the plantation of "Tipperary" in Warrington Township, York Co., which he had purchased from Jacob AYERS and which had been surveyed for him Mar. 31, 177L Tipperary Plantation was close to the Quaker settlement of Warrington Square, a town whose name was afterwards changed to Rossville in honor of this family. There were many free Quakers here who participated in the struggle for American independence and rallied to the Military muster rounds at Rossville where the Warrington Rangers had their headquarters.
