• Notes

  Biography 1800 Stephen and Elizabeth (Crose) Ross left Hardy County, Virginia for Ross County, Ohio, locating on 316 acres near Harrison Township, Chllicothe, Ohio. Section 7, Range 20. Stephen and Elizabeth (Crose) Ross's granddaughter Catherine Ross married Solomon Hanks. Stephen and Elizabeth (Crose) Ross' son John marriedSusannah Doll whose father Jacob Doll owned the log cabin Nancy Hanks father bought in Mineral County, West Virginia and it is now the Monument to Nancy Hanks, mother of Abraham Lincoln. 27 Jan 1816 A transaction between Stephen Ross of the State of Ohio of the first part and Adam Crose of the State of Virginia of the second part assigns forever all the rights title that fell to him by WILL to lands owned by Christian Crose, deceased, laying on Patterson Creek. The sum of two hundred dollars was accepted as Elizabeth Crose share of her fathers estate. The transaction was signed by Stephen Ross, Jr., and his wife Barbary Ross[1]. Children: Stephen Ross, Jr. John Ross Philip Ross Mary Ross Margaret Ross William Ross Barbara Ross Rebecca Ross 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 Margaret 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. We know by tax and deed records of Hardy County, West Virginia (formerly Hampshire County, Virginia) that Stephen Ross and Elizabeth lived in that county between 1787 and 1807. Then he and his family moved to Springfield Township, Ross County, Ohio, where he died in 1814. His burial location may be on his farm but is unknown. He married Elizabeth Crose in the mid 1760's in Virginia, and she is the sister of Michael Crose, son of Christian Crose and Christina Stump. Sources ?
