Jeff,
I have been researching the Ross family for several years and do not have a "Parsons" listed. The Signer's son, George, had nine children, so it's possible that one of those lines lead to Minerva, but not at the granddaughter level, as far as I know.

As for Aeneas' son John, he was the Ross that married Elizabeth Grissom, aka: Betsy Ross of flag-making fame. Unfortunately, John was killed relatively young in a munitions explosion in Phildelphia. He and Betsy had no children.

George "The Signer" also had a brother named John (1714-1776, m. Elizabeth Morgan) who had a son named John for whom I have no information.

To complicate matters, another of The Signer's brothers, David (1709-1813 m. Sarah Rolfe, descendant of Rebecca Rolfe aka: Pocahontas), had a son named John (b. 1732) for whom I have no other information.

Are we having fun yet?
Good luck.
Louise
