Les Ross could this be the Mary Beal mentioned in the Will of Dr. Alexander Ross? Do you know anything about the Ross family described here?

Les Ross I found the Will of Walter Ross!

It even mentions the land in Jamaica left to him by his aunt Jane Ross.

The Will is in New Hanover County, NC, which is where the above Mary Ross Beale's family was said to be.

According to the Index, there is also a Will for a William Ross d. 1760 in New Hanover County, which would be the right date for the father of Mary Ross Beale, but the page # in the index doesn't match the numbering of the Wills, so it might take me a minute to find it.

Les Ross... William John Ross's daughter Susannah Halsey married Henry Halsey.

Henry Halsey's 1st cousin Mary Ross married Matthias Ross who was the great-grandson of George Ross of Elizabethtown.

So, it seems possible that there was a family connection between William John Ross and George Ross of Elizabethtown.
