Hugh Menenol ROSS was born on 6 Mar 1827 in North Carolina.1311,1312 He appeared in the census in 1860 in Henderson Co. TN.1311 In 1860, H.M.

In 1850 in Union Co., Hugh had a male age 17 living with him, but this child was named James. In 1840, there were two males of the right age for H.M. and James. Perhaps, in 1850, H.M. was living somewhere else, especially if he was 23 as the age on his tombstone indicates.

James ROSS.1314 Parents: Samuel ROSS and Elizabeth SUMNER.


James ROSS79,290 was born on 8 Jun 1761 in Martin Co. NC.290 In his pension statement, James says he was born in Martin Co. in 1761, but Martin Co. was not formed until 1774. He would most likely have been born in Halifax or Tyrell Co., from which Martin Co. was formed. However, it is even possible he was born in Edgecombe or Pitt Co. since there have been line changes with those two counties. He served in the military in Feb 1781 in Martin Co. NC.290,1315 Pension application says he enlisted and served as private sometime in February 1781 to sometime in July, 1781, under Captains John Kennady and James Evans in Colonel Whitmill Hills Regiment and was in the battle of Guilford Court House and the battle of Camden in April, 1781,...

John Kennedy had land on Flat Swamp and Turkey Swamp - names mentioned in Ross deeds.

Jas Ross is listed in the Roster of NC Soldiers as enlisting in 1781 in Lytle's Company. He lived Martin Co. NC in Martin Co. NC before 1798. He lived Anson Co. NC in Anson Co. NC after 1798.290 James must have moved to Anson in 1798 or 99, based upon his pension claim that he had moved to Anson "33 years before" and his application was made in 1832. His brother William said that James moved to Anson in 1798 and he followed in 1799. In the 1790 census the Ross name (James, Thomas, Martha, Joseph) was found in close proximity to several Brewer (Edmund, James, Mary, Sarah) and Cobern (Griffin, Andrew, John, Francis, James, Abner, George) in Martin Co. page 67. Martin and William Ross were on page 66. Another James Ross, along with William, and John Ross (2) and Moses Moore were found on page 69. This latter James Ross had two sons under 16 while the James Ross on page 67 had no males other than himself.
In the 1800 census, James, John, and William Ross are listed on the same page in Martin Co. A James Ross is listed on page 209 of the Anson census. Andrew, Daniel, Griffin, Gustavas, Henry, Hugh (2), Martin, Silvey, Walter are listed in Anson.
He appeared in the census between 1800 and 1810 in Anson Co. NC.1316,1317 In 1800, James Ross was listed as 26-45 (b 1755-1775) with 3 males under 10 (b 1790-1800; Hugh, Francis, and ?), 1 male 10-16 (1784-1790; Dougal), one female 26-45, three females under 10 ( Nancy, Lydia, and Spicey?) and two 10-16 (Elizabeth and Pauline?).

In 1810 Jas Ross was listed as 45+, with one female 26-45. He had two males 16-26 (b 1785-1795; Dougal, Hugh, and/or Francis) and one male under 10 (b 1800-1810; Thomas G.), 3 females under 10 (b 1800-10; Lydia, Spicy, and Sarah), one female 10-16 (b 1794-1800; Nancy), and one 16-26 (b 1784-1794; Polly). This assumes Margaret was born after 1810 and Dougal, Hugh or Francis was living elsewhere. Note conflicts with 1800 census.

In 1820, Jas Ross is listed with 1 male 10-16 (b 1804-1810; Thomas G.), and himself over 45; one female over 45, one 10-16 (b 1804-1810; Margaret probably), and two 16-26; 1794-1804; Lydia, Spicy or Sarah). He appeared in the census in 1840 in Anson Co. NC. In the 1840 census, one James Ross is listed on pg 98 next door to Dugald. This family has 1 male 70-80 (which would make him born 1760-1770), 1 40-50, 1 15-20, 1 10-15, 2 5-10, 2 <5. Females listed are 1 60-70, 1 30-40, 1 15-20, 2 10-15, 1 <5 He died on 1 Jan 1849 in Union Co. NC.295 He was buried in Ennis Staton Cem, Union Co, NC.489 William Ross' statement April 9, 1851, to support Liddy Ross' pension application, listed all of their 11 children: Elizabeth, Dugal, Polly, Nancy, Hugh, Francis, Liddy, Spicy, Sarah, Thomas, and Margret. He said they moved to Anson County into 98 and "my self and fathers family moved to Anson now Union County in the date of Seventeen hundred and ninety nine.."

Hugh Ross made a deed of gift of a Negro boy to Martin Ross and James Ross. Two weeks later he mad another deed of gift to Wm, David, and Griffin Ross. It appears that all are children of Hugh. See Hugh Ross notes and sources.
Parents: Hugh ROSS.

Spouse: Lydia Elizabeth COBURN. James ROSS and Lydia Elizabeth COBURN were married in 1781 in Martin Co. NC.295 Children were: Elizabeth (Betsy) ROSS, Dougal M. ROSS, Pauline (Polly?) ROSS, Nancy ROSS, Hugh ROSS, Francis ROSS, Lydia ROSS, Spicey ROSS, Sarah ROSS, Thomas G ROSS, Margaret ROSS.


James ROSS was born on 19 Mar 1769 in Martin Co. NC.448 He died in North Carolina.1267 Parents: William ROSS and Mary GRIFFIN.


James ROSS was born before 1769 in Martin Co. NC. In 1790, there were two James Rosses in Martin Co. One was next to John Ross and was between 21-65 (b bef 1769). He had two males under 21 or over 65 and one female. The other James was listed as between 21-65 with three females. There is no record of a second James Ross in Anson Co. until 1820. He appeared in the census in 1820 in Anson Co. NC. I have ruled out this James Ross as our direct line because our James Ross had a brother named William still living in 1840 when James applies for his RW pension and this James' brother William was deceased. It is very possible that this James Ross is the one who provided evidence for Lydia Coburn Ross's widow's pension. That James Ross said he was 85 years old (in Jan. 1851) and he knew James Ross and Lydia Coburn in Martin Co. A Henry Ross was in Anson Co. in 1800, so perhaps some of this family moved with our line. Parents: John ROSS and Elizabeth BENNETT.

James Moses ROSS was born on 13 Jul 1847 in Union Co. NC.674,1325 The 1850 census lists James M age 3 and J.M. age 13 in 1860 (although the J. looks more like an I when compared to the other J's). This may be Moses. But he is not listed as one of Dugall's living children in his pension application, so he must have died. He also is not living in the Dugal Ross household in 1870.

The bible record lists the birthdate of James M. Ross as July the 13th A D 1847.
He died before 4 Aug 1898 in Henderson Co. TN.1236 James M. and Moses may be the same person. He was listed in the 1860 census as James M., but was not listed in the 1870 census. During the Civil War, Dugall wrote Penny "I have seen a heap of trouble about you all and particular about Moses and John for fear the Rebels had conscripted them but I hope to reach home before long and to find you all there and well with something to eat and wear." He was not listed as one of Dugall's living children in the pension statement dated Aug. 4, 1898.

There is a final settlement listed for J.M. Ross, Nov. 20, 1879, in Henderson County Administations and Executive Settlements. "By cash W.C. Christopher, gdn of minor heirs, pg. 38. B. F. Wallace. Gdn Sallie Ross." This needs more work.

John ROSS.1239 Parents: Martin ROSS and Permelia SMITH.


John ROSS1330 was born before 1740. Basing his age on the estimated ages of his children: pure guess. He served in the military between 1776 and 1781 in North Carolina.400 According to North Carolina Revolutionary Soldiers, Sailors, Patriots, & Descendants, John Ross served as a Private in North Carolina in the war. But was it this John Ross? He appeared in the census in 1787 in Martin Co. NC. In an undesignated district in 1787, but possibly District 7, there was a John Ross Sr with himself and 4 males under 21/over 60, 4 females, and 5 total Blacks. There was a John Ross Jr. with himself and 2 males under 21/over 60 and three females.

In 1790, John Ross had two males over 16 (himself and Henry?), one male under 16 (likely Luke), five females (his wife and all four daughters?) and six slaves. John Ross Jr. had one male over 16 (himself), one under 16, and two females.
He signed a will on 9 Oct 1792 in Martin Co. NC. John Ross Sr's will was signed 9 October 1792. Did not name wife. Mentioned sons William (deceased), John (deceased), James, Thomas, Henry, and Luke.

The will was probated in June 1794. He died about May 1794 in Martin Co. NC.1331 It is not proven that this John is a son of William Ross. That William Ross had a son named John is proven in a deed settling a dispute of the dividing line between William Ross Sr. and William Duggan, William Swain, and others. William Hyman made an oath that he was first sent out when old Edmund Smithwick who sold the land to old John Duggan and old William Ross for the purpose of making the dividing line between Duggan and Ross. The line had stood between twenty and thirty years (taking it back to 1739-1749). John Ross and William Ross came in right to the land from their father. Parents: William ROSS and Elizabeth (ROSS).
