Posted by Joyce on August 11, 2005, 8:52 pm, in reply to "Dr. David Ross of Bladensburg" The Bladensburg Plat of 1787 lists the Dr. Ross house and shows where he lived.: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdpgeorg/text/bladensb.htm The Bladensburg History page tells that his house (built in 1749) is still standing but it was moved to Baltimore County.: http://www.porttowns.com/blad/bbhist.htm The Grunston Hall web site has a few things about Dr. David Ross, a PDF lists his inventory (1777-1780) after death.: http://gunstonhall.org/probate/ROSS80.PDF Apparently the Virginia Historical Society has letters written by him, listed in Records of Ante-Bellum Southern Plantations From the Revolution Through the Civil War http://srnels.people.wm.edu/~srnels/sources/plantm2.htm In a letter from George Washington to George Mason I hope this is of interest to you.

I'm not the historian; she usually answers on Sat., but as the internet specialist, I can give you a lot of resources readily available on the internet, though I didn't find out about his father (please realize that there could have been more than one Dr. David Ross from Bladensburg or some of this information could be in error, but I did this search for fun & curiosity and thought you might enjoy it).:
5 April 1769, he mentions Dr. Ross in the first sentence. (link below)
