• The Ross family arrived in New York on 14 July 1868 via the ship John Bright. First documentation to place them in the valley is a rebaptism of the parents performed in the Sugarhouse Ward on 26 September 1868. Further research is needed to identify the name of the overland company the family traveled with.

  No other records are found for Colin beyond the ship records and PEF records. It is possible he was not a son, but another relative or adopted child that went by another surname once he reached the Valley.

Company Unknown (1868)
