ROSS NAMES FROM MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS
HERKIMER COUNTY, NEW YORK


I've had these Ross surnames in my computer for quite a while, taken from various census records and a booklet for Ross at the Herkimer County Historical Society. Someone was looking for a particular Ross in the Newport area and since my name was Betsy Ross I check anything to do with Ross!
