oliver crawford ross of tyrone and his wife frances eleanor st. clair ross
arrived in US in 1773.
Presbyterian; County Tyrone, 1758; arr in Philadelphia 28 Sep 1783;
Highland County, Ohio, 1802 (Oliver ROSS, w/Francis Eleanor ST CLAIR, sons;
St Clair, Josiah - daughters; Margaret, and Rebecca)
Presbyterian, County Tyrone, (Newtown Stewart), 1800; Digby, Annapolis
County, Nova Scotia, 1832. (Crawford ROSS, w/Margaret HAMILTON, sons;
Oliver, Alexander, John; daughters; Rosana, Mary and Katherine)
According to the 1796 "Flax Seed Premium Entitlement List", there
were several Ross' living in the parish of Ardstraw (which includes
Newton Stewart), namely: David, John and Oliver.[1] No indication of
age is given. An Oliver Ross, born c.1754, emigrated from Newton
Stewart in 1783 to the USA with his family.[1] Crawford Ross was born
c.1778 and had a son, Oliver, born c.1815, born at Newton Stewart.
Crawford, Oliver and the rest of Crawford's family emigrated to the
USA in 1831. They were Presbyterians.[1] The Oliver mentioned in the
Flax Tax was probably a brother of Crawford. While it is fairly
certain that these Ross' are closely related to my line, below, it is
impossible, at this time, to establish exactly what the connection is.
It is doubtful that the David listed in the Flax tax list is David B.
Ross, below, since he would probably have been born no earlier than
1780 and thus would have been too young to be in the Flax List.
Newton Stewart is in the north of County Tyrone, about 20 miles
south of Londonderry, on the banks of the River Mourne, in the parish
of Ardstraw.
