Hi Rita, I am researching Ross family. I have a Nancy Jane Ross married Robert Meek. I can't find anything on her. Nancy & Robert are my Dad's grandparents, but he never knew who Nancy's parents were. And my Dad's aunt were also unable to tell us anything about their grandparents. Could Nancy be in your Ross's?

Vicki, The Martin Finley listed is my ancestor, could you tell me who he was granted land by. Also what year he recieved the grant. Its very likley that William Findley is also a ancestor as I've found the Findley name spelled both ways and my Findleys were supposedly numerous in McNairy County. Thank you, and Merry Christms.
