General Notes: Husband - Washington Ross

---

In his early life he owned and operated a steam sawmill for a time, but soon engaged in farming, which he continued throughout his active career, being a gentle­man farmer in the highest sense of the term. He owned a farm of 170 acres, and after he became interested in other undertakings gave part of his time to its management. For eighteen months he lived at Kittanning. In 1854 he laid out Rosston on land he owned in Manor township. His tract, extending from the mouth of Crooked creek, up along the left bank of the Allegheny river, on its west side, and the Allegheny Valley railroad on its east side, was laid out into thirty lots, and included the site of old Fort Green. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, to which he belonged for many years. In politics he was a Republican.
