Martin Ross born about 1800 NC his wife Mary (maiden name unknown) also born about 1800 NC were listed in 1850 in the Bradley County TN census.
(1850 Bradley County TN Census 11th of November Household No. 1020)
Sometime in the 1850's they moved to Whitfield Co. Georgia. In 1850 also listed in Bradley Co. TN was their son John W. Ross, his wife Hannah Caroline and her parents and siblings who all also moved from Bradley Co. to Whitfield Co Georgia.
They were all in Whitfield Co Georgia in the 1860 Census except John W. Ross and family who moved to Independence Co. AR from GA. We know he was there before moving to AR because his son John Henry Ross was born in 1859 in Georgia before they made the move to AR.
(Martin Ross Whitfield County GA 9th Dist 19th and 20th July Household No. 895)
By 1870 Martin was again in Bradley County TN (Cleveland Post Office June 14th Household No. 36/35).
Whitfield County Georgia is not that far from Gilmer Co. I know that there were Ross families in GIlmer Co GA. Murry Co is Whitfield Co. and and GilmerCo. I have found a connection with some of Martin's children to Fannin and Coosa Counties which are counties that border Whitfield and Gilmer.
I am wonderig if any of this sound familiar to anyone. I have done a lot of research over the years on Martin Ross' family down to the present, but have had no luck at finding parents or soblings. I am not sure that I even have all of his children since there is a wide gap between a couple of the children.
I would really like to exchange information to see if I can make a connection with other Ross families who were living in the area in the 1800s.
