Posted on: Ross Family Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Ross/494 Surname: Beatty, Thompson, Ross ------------------------- I have come across an article that states: "Family Tree, Old Dutch Post-Star, July 25, 1974" John Beatty b. 1587 m Margaret Thompson 1619. Had known sons; James b. 1620 m. Sarah Ross abt 1640(?), John b. 1621 m. Jane Ross bf. 1660(?). Jane and Sarah were sisters and the daughters of John Ross of Moffet. The Beatty families were in Ireland in the mid 1600's as far as I know. Do not know if marriages were in Scotland or Ireland. Anyone else come across this info? If John and James were brothers, this would connect two large Beatty families. If any Ross Researchers have any info on these families, please contact me. Thanks
