    1. [ROSS-L] NC, GA, SC 1780's 1790's
    2. I am interested in a Moses Ross I found in a "1790 census replacement for Washington Co, GA" He was in a list of "Headrights and Bounty Grants in GA 1789-1793" (there was an Andrew Berryhill listed as well- see note below) and "Surveyors Records Book D-E 1789-1793" and "Legal Advertizements and notices- Southern Centinal & Universal Gazette/ Augusta Chronicle and Gazette 1794-1795" Note: Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Genealogical Abstracts as published by Herman W. Ferguson in 1990 7 Nov. 1786. Samuel Berryhill and wf Prusilla (X) to Andrew Berryhill, for 100 pounds lawful NC money, 140 acres on Sugar Creek adjacent to Wiliam Barnett, John Stinson, Joseph Berryhill, Barnett's mill dm, and Robert McKnight. Witnesses: William Elliott and MOSES ROSS. Proved in April 1787 Court by oth of Moses Ross. Sam Martin, Clerk and Master of Court. I think there's a chance that this is my Moses Ross b. 1762 (son of Reuben Ross and Priscilla Green) who served in the South Carolina militia in the early and mid 1780's and sold his military indent to John Brownlee in SC in 1787.This Moses may have moved to Mecklenburg Co, NC, then on to GA and possibly back to SC where one Moses Ross is found in Abstracts of Old Ninety-Six and Abbeville District Wills and Bonds" by Pauline Young.. Page 431: ROSS, Moses---Box 109, Pack 3120: Est. admnr. Nov. 11, 1815 by Mary Ross, Joseph Black, bound unto Taliaferro Livingston Ord. Abbeville Dist., SC sum $2,000.00. Don't know how Andrew Berryhill and Moses Ross may have been connected. any connections? Audrey
