Thanks for the reply. Haven't thought about this in quite a while.
As far as info on Sherwood, anything at all. I've tracked my family back to Sherwood but have run into a wall and can't find anything beyond him. Might just be I don't know where to look.
Thanks,
Sabin Ross

Hi Sabin,
I just started my ancestry trek back several months ago. If your great-great grandfather was Martin C Ross, then we're cousins. My great-great grandfather was Thomas Simeon Ross, and they were brothers (father was Sherwood Wilson Ross and mother was Drucilla Bivens). Their grave markers are at Faulk's Baptist Church in Marshville (http://www.faulksbc.org/).

Sherwood dates - (b: 15 Mar 1829 and d: 25 Jun 1894)
Drucilla Bivens dates (b: 29 Nov 1851, d: 25 Oct 1931, married: 27 Jul 1874).
Children are:
Thomas Simeon Ross (b:05 Feb 1879, d:12 Oct 1953)
Betty Ross (b:Mar 1875)
Elizabeth Jane Ross (b:25 Mar 1877, d:30 Jun 1950)
Julia A. Ross (b:1876)
Dora A. Ross (b:Mar 1875)
Martin C. Ross (b:1868)
Sherwood Frankling Ross (b:1857)

Sherwood's parents:
Green David Ross (B:1790, d:1876, married:1819)
Margaret Elizabeth Page (b:1805, d:1883)
I've hit a dead end on Margaret Page. She's on my list to dig deeper but I have so many on the list right now.
Siblings:
Green H Ross (b:1840)
Thomas K Ross (b:1833)
Williamson Jackson Ross (b:28 May 1831, d:20 Dec 1922)
William H Ross (b:1830)
Nancy Hammond Ross (b:1828)
David Durick Ross (b:1826)
Daniel Christenberry Ross (b:1824)
John Odom Ross (b:12 Apr 1822, d:1880)
Doctor Montgomery Ross (19 Mar 1836, d:23 Nov 1908)
Elizabeth Ross (no info yet)

Green David Ross parents:
Williamson Ross (b:1759, d:1840, married: abt 1778)
Elizabeth Odom (b:1770) in Barnwell, SC
Siblings:
Wiley Ross (b:28 Aug 1787, d:1842)
James Green Ross (b:1814, d:May 1870)
Woodson Ross (b:1798, d:1855)
Sallie Ross
Polly Ross
Littleberry Ross
Jack Ross
Barry Ross
Betsy Ross

Williamson's parents:
William Ross (b:1737 Scotland, d:Bef. 1781, married:Bet. 1757–1758)
Loucinda "Lucy" Williamson (b:Bet. 1736–1740, d:Aft. 1787)

Siblings:
Mary "Maria" Ross (b:1762)

That's all I have so far on my "Ross" line. There are also, Bivens, Marsh, White, Snyder, Page, Griffen, and Greene's in my chart (grandparents line). I have plenty of people to check out. I hope this is the Sherwood you are searching. If so, then if you want to chat more, my personal email address is tomkirkley@triad.rr.com. I live in the Greensboro NC area (about 2 hours from Union county where these ancestors lived). I have pictures of grave markers if needed and can email them to you. I also have some Census info too. I'm still heavily researching this line since it's my direct lineage. The Ross side is my mother's side and she has a lot of direct ties to Union and Anson county.

If we're actually cousins, then I'd like to chat with you more sometime. Maybe share what we have found.
Thanks.
Tom

Been a while.
From what I've seen, the Sherwood Wilson Ross you found, son of Green Davin and Margaret Elizabeth died in Oregon. The Sherwood I'm looking for is the Sherwood Ross, husband of Drucilla, father of those you've listed and buried in Faulks Creek.
Of course, I could be wrong.

I'm still stuck there too. I can't find anything to validate the connection there. I guess something will turn up eventually.
