Notes


19. David ROSS

According to Duncan Veazey David Ross was styled eldest son by William Read but he has no further record.

22. Reverend Aeneas ROSS

Minister. He was ordained in London, 1739 and returned to the Colonies in June 1741. Upon his arrival, he assumed the duties as minister at Christ Church, Philadelphia until the arrival of Rev. Dr. Jenney. He served as his assistant until July 14, 1743, when he resigned in order to give complete attention to the churches at Oxford and White Marsh. He became minister at Immanuel Church four year after the death of his father and remailed there until he passed away in 1782.


40. John ROSS

It has been claimed that John Ross who married Elizabeth Griscom was Rev. Aeneas Ross's son but it seems to lack proof of any kind. This Elizabeth Griscom was known as Betsy Ross who made the first American flag. There is no explanation of the circumstances that she was an upholsteress living in a humble condition of life. Further information is necessary to justify any claim of relationship or connection with Ross of New Castle by Mrs. Betsy Ross. [Aeneas was buried with his father inside the church at New Castle.]
