Dear Marita: My Recollection is that Hamilton County is where Cincinnati is and that is a long way on horseback from Washington county. David Ross had his Lear Jet hidden under some brush so the Indians wouldn't know that he was from outer space. http://members.aol.com/fourc/ross.text.html Peter In a message dated 8/22/00 10:25:24 PM, you wrote: <<How near Washington County, Ohio, is Hamilton County. In researching my Rev War Patriot, I discovered there are two of the same name who served from MD the same time in different companies. The Reuben Ross not of my lineage, died in Hamilton Co, in about 1826. Information on his Rev War Pension can be found on the National Archives Film M804- Roll 2088. His information is intermixed from item 104-190. Whether he is related to the phantom David remains to be seen. Marita >>
