EventDateDescription
OccupationJohn Ross was a weaver.2
Immigration20 Aug 1716He immigrated from Scotland to Talbot County, Maryland, British Colonial America, on 20 Aug 1716. He was a soldier in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. He joined the Strathmore Regiment in Glamis Parish, Angus County, Scotland and was taken prisioner when his regiment was defeated at Preston, England. He and many of his fellow soldiers were spared the hangman on condition of their entering into seven years of indentured servitude in the colonies.
Deportation began in March of 1716 and ten ships were used to transport the prisoners to Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, and various islands in the West Indies. John Ross was one of 80 prisioners transported to Maryland aboard the Friendship of Belfast, and after a voyage of 88 days arrived at the port of Oxford, Maryland on 20 Aug 1716. John Ross's indenture was sold to Edgar Webb, a shipbuilder who lived near Oxford. It is believed that he was released from his indenture, likely because Edgar Webb was Jacobite supporter. He was living in Hanover County, Virginia, by 1734 and likely arrived there earlier, possibly shortly after his arrival in America in 1716.3,2
Deed-Land6 Mar 1734/35He received 150 acres from Lawrence Ferguson in Hanover County, Virginia, on 6 Mar 1734/35.4
