Hello, I am currently looking for the parents, and any additional information that anyone might have about John Francis (M.?) Ross. I have checked Census records, marriage records, as well as others and I have found him in one or two places, but so far I have not come up with any helpful information, as the only information I am really searching for is the name of his parents, and then possibly birthdates, and any other brothers or sisters he might have had. I am really looking to find him in the 1850 Census, or possibly 1860 census, as this should list his parents. I think I found him in the Forsyth County 1850 census, as the age matched up. He was living in the William P. Henley residence. The birth date we have is 1846, and the 1850 census lists him as 5 years of age, his approximate age. In the same residence is an Amanda P. Ross. We think at this point that this could possible be his mother. She is 30, meaning that she probably wouldn't be a sister, but possibly a relative? The only information I have is: "John Francis Ross married Moselle Partee Foard on 6 Nov 1878. John Francis Ross was born on 12 May 1846 in Kernersville, Forsyth, NC. He died on 9 May 1889 in Salisbury, Rowan Co., NC. They had at least one child, Minnie Foard Ross who was born in 1886. She married a William R. Kimball. I am also looking for the parents of William R. Kimball." If anyone might have any information about John Francis (M.) Ross please contact me at: [email protected] I had him as just John Francis Ross, but the IGI lists him, and just him unfortunantly as: John F. M. Ross. If anyone has any books, or resources they might be able to check for those areas in North Carolina, Forsyth County, possibly Guilford County (neighboring county) and Rowan County, or even better if you are related to him and have more information, please contact me. If anyone possibly could also do a lookup if they are in that area I would be very grateful. Any record of death, obituary, or anything that might list his parents is what I am looking for. His parents are the main thing that I am searching for right now. Thank You, Joseph [email protected]
