WILLIAM ROSS (1795-1858)
William Ross, son of J. William Ross and Sarah Blow, was born at Montreal, Province of Lower Canada, on the 14th April, 1795. He was Deputy Clerk Assistant to the Legislative Assembly of Canada. He married Harriott Thompson who was born at Quebec City on the 11th January, 1804, and they had seven children - Harriott, Ema Marena Amelia, William Blow, Christina Isabella Elisabeth, Octavius, Allen Napier and David Henry.
The eldest daughter, Harriott, was born on the 16th March, 1827, at Quebec, and she married George Henry Lane, Deputy-Registrar of the Province of Canada. They had two daughters, Amy and Florence. Florence married a Mr. Pope (?) and they raised a family but we have no knowledge of them, except that they resided at Ottawa, Ontario. In five letters, written between 1924 and 1926 by Florence to her cousin, Ella Ross at Loretteville, Quebec, she gave a great deal of information about her grandparents, J. William and Sarah Ross, and her mother's family which has been very helpful in writing about this branch of the Ross family. She also revealed that the motto on the Ross crest was "Fide et Fiducia" (Faithful and True).
William Blow Ross, their son, was born on the 10th may, 1832, at Quebec, and he married Janet Lugo Fraser on the 15th November, 1855, at Quebec. They had three children: Frederick Joseph (b. 1860), Francis Harriott (b. 1861), and Clara (b. 1863). In a letter, written by Florence and dated 15th November, 1924, she wrote "Aunt Lugo is ninety-three you know, but quite bright yet and loves to see company, looks remarkably well too."
Of the other five children of William and Harriott (Thompson) Ross, we only know the dates of their birth and death, and this information is shown on Family Chart No. R-2.
William Ross died on the 22nd July, 1858, at Toronto, Ontario, and his wife, Harriott, died in 1895 at Ottawa, Ontario, at the venerable age of 91. We have no further knowledge of this branch of the Ross family.
