Dear Susan,
No trouble at all. I'm not sure if you want George Ross III's grandchildren or great-grandchildren. So here are all of them that I have found (note: the #1s below are some of the children of George Ross III and Mary Bird that I listed in my earlier post):

1. Ann Ross m. James Hopkins
2. George Ross Hopkins (1792-1821)m. Ann Reigart (1795-1826)
3.Adam Hopkins (1816-1854)
3.Emily Wilson Hopkins (1818-?)m. Henry S.McGraw
3.Horace Hopkins (1820-1856)
2. Clemintina Hopkins (1794-1795)
2. Mary Hopkins (1796-?) m. George Barnett
2. George Washington Hopkins (1799-?) m. Mary Franklin
2. Horation Nelson Hopkins (1807-?)
2. Ann Coleman Hopkins (1809-?) m. Issac Newton Lightner
2. James Montesqieu Hopkins (1811-?) m. Harriet Louisa Webb
2. Emily Hopkins (1812-1816
2. William Hopkins (1816-?)
1. George Washington Ross (1788-?)m. Mary Witmer (d.1817)
2. Mary Ross (1814-1906)
2. A son (1817-?)
1. Caroline Ross (1796-1848) m. Samuel Orrick
2. A son (1825-1826)
2. John Newton Orrick (1828-)
1. Eliza Juliann Ross (1797-1871) m. Abraham Carpenter
2. Daughter (1826-1829)
2. Caroline Carpenter (1829-?)

Those are all the descendants of GeoIII and Mary Bird that I have. My research hasn't required me to search for further generations, but I could look next time I'm in Lancaster, if you'd like. Let me know. If your gggrandfather was Robert C. Ross, it seems reasonable to look in the line of GeoIII's son, Robert Coleman Ross. However, my records show that this Robert died when he was 25. I don't have evidence that he married, but as I said, I haven't looked very far into these generations. If you think you may be descended from George Washington Ross and Mary Witmer, let me know...I have a story about them (!).

I hope something here helps somehow.
