  • Notes 
    • Found in several census...

      Mary "Polly" was born in Hampshire County, VA in 1769. She married Michael Crose around 1786. Mary and her husband Michael moved from Virginia to Kentucky before 1800.

      Mary can be found in the 1820[1] and 1850[2] census living with her daughter Sarah Utterback and her husband Covington.


      Through letters found in an old trunk belonging to Mary (Cross) Crose, along with her Bible, it was possible to establish the children of Stephen and Elisabeth (Crose) Ross. The original letters of Mary (Ross) Crose are in Greencastle, Indiana, with the research papers of Fred Everett Dyer and Abby Dyer Griffin. The seven children are: Stephen Ross, Jr.; John Ross; Mary Ross; Philip Ross; Barbara Ross; William Ross; and Marg,ret Ross.
      The records in the County Clerks Office, Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio, date back to 1798 when the county was formed. However, there is no record of Stephen Ross Sr., having owned or leasing land in Harrison Township, Ross County, Ohio. There is a record of Stephen Ross, Jr., and his wife Barbary Ross gaining title to 315 acres in Springfield Township, Ross County, Ohio, after the sale of the Ross Farm in Hardy County, West Virginia.
      A notice in the Scioto Gazette, Chillicothe, Ohio, dated April 23, 1814, page 3, reads as follows: Notice is hereby given to all persons having just and legal claims against the estate of Stephen and Elizabeth Ross, late of Ross County and Springfield Township, deceased, that they are hereby notified to exhibit their claims legally proven for adjustment within one year from the date hereof and all those that are indebted to said estate are requested to make immediate payments to John Ross, executor, of Stephen Ross, deceased.
      There is no record of a probate or settlement of an estate for Stephen and Elizabeth (Crose) Ross in the records of Ross County, Ohio.
      Mary died September 13 1852[3]
