A kind soul did a look up for me and guess what she found........  Colonial Caroline by T. E. Campbell.   (Caroline Co, VA) It says on p. 283:   "To restore the doubters' faith (in the government of the colony) the magistrates offered to make good at once the crown's promise of free land for service in the French & Indian War, and opened the court for proof of claims of all local veterans who fought in that conflict, or their heirs if they were dead, to certify to the governor of the Commonwealth for immediate action.  Forty French & Indian War veterans in Caroline tok advantage of this offer.  They were George Muse, REUBEN ROSS, etc.  Twoof the 3 men who inventoried Isaac Green's estate in Craven Co, SC in 1772 (Reuben Ross' father in law) were from Caroline Co, VA......... Happy Dance!! Any relations out there to a Caroline Co, VA Ross group? Audrey
