- "Erroneous articles point to his belonging to the Rev George Ross family of New Castle, DE. Is James the son of Rev. David Ross, George Ross's eldest, and Sarah Rolfe? Perhaps it is so, but no record, E.G. a baptismal, has surfaced." [1]

| Notes |
- "6 i. David ROSS was born about 1708 in New Castle, New Castle Co., DE. He died before 1754. David was said to have married Sarah Rolfe. She was from the line of Thomas Rolfe, son of John and Rebecca Rolfe. Rebecca was the Indian princess Pocahontas. David and Sarah had four children: Daniel; George; John, born 1732; and James Michael, born about 1740 and died 1801 in Stoneycreek Twp., Somerset Co., PA.
"David was said to be a Church of England missionary. However, Edmund Hayes Bell, a Ross family researcher at the turn of the century, said in a letter to Frank Willing Leach, another Ross researcher: 'I have never been able to locate him at Albany, N.Y, and doubt his having been a clergyman...The name of Rev. David Ross does not appear in the records of the London Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts nor can it be found in any of the records of St. Pater's Church, Albany, N.Y. or of the Episcopal Church in New York State. On the other hand, Holcomb's History of Immanuel Church, New Castle, De, pg. 178, mentions Rev. David Ross, and Mr. Thompson Read in his life of George Read of Delaware, pg. 62, mentions Rev. George Ross' eldest son David who died a missionary of the Church of England at Albany, N.Y.' " [4]
