Birth	about 1772 Virginia Note: There has been much speculation on the pedigree for Clarissa ROSS. Some have said her father was the Quaker Alexander Ross of Surry Co but there is no evidence of that. It is possible that Clarissa's father was David Ross. Charley Dudley, Robert's father, bought land from David Ross in 1784, at about the same time that Robert Dudley and Clarissa Ross were born; so at least we know there was a connection in time and geography.
