Origin of Ross Family of Ipswich, MA
« on: Sunday 21 December 08 14:34 GMT (UK) »
I hope I'm in the correct area of this web site as I am guessing that my Ross family came from Ross Shire. Three brothers; John, Killicres, and Fennel were taken prisoner by Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester and sent to Massachusetts Bay Colony as indentured servants. John sailed on the John and Sarah, no record on which ship the other two brothers were transported on.

I have no other information on the ancestry of these three brothers. So, anything that would help shed some light on the origins of these men will be very much appreciated. I have been in touch with Clan Ross and a general Ross mailing list, but they could not help me with my mystery.
