Hello, I am new to this list. I joined to see if anyone could help me find a Colonel William Ross who served in the War of 1812. He probably joined from either NY or MA. He was Lucinda Bancroft Oaks Ross' second husband and is buried with her in Avondale Cemetery, Flint, MI. I have been unable to find anything about her first husband, Unknown Oaks except that his name was Oaks. Census says she was born in MA 22 Nov 1774. If there is a list I could search or anyone has ever heard of him, I would appreciate any help!! Marianne
Marrianne, Here's a long shot for you. I couldn't see a Colonel William Ross, and there is a bunch of William Ross, but decided to look for any William Ross, any rank in a Regiment with an Oaks, on the chance that this is where she met them both, being from the same area. There was only one in New York, or Massachusetts.To top it all there was two William Ross in this Regiment. 37th Regiment New York Militia (Nobles) William Ross (private) William Ross (Qr Master) Owen Oaks (private) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marianne Carraway" <mcarraway@chartermi.net> To: <WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 5:08 PM Subject: COLONEL WILLIAM ROSS/LUCINDA BANCROFT OAKS > Hello, > > I am new to this list.
