HUGH ROSS was born about Dec, 1837 [1900 census] in New Brunswick,
Canada, the son of Scottish born parents Hugh Ross Sr. and Mary Currie.
He died in Chelsea, Suffolk, MA on 26 Apr, 1918 [NARA pension card]. One
rec (2nd marr) gives place of birth as Bathhurst, in New Brunswick, while
Descriptive Roll shows it spelled as "Bathwright", all other rec's just list
the province.
Hugh married first, on 9 Nov, 1864 in Chelsea (or Boston) to MARGARET TALBOT, born ca 1844 in Nova Scotia to John and Catherine [MA vr v.173,p.163]. Her death record not yet found in MA records. Unknown if this couple had any children, but 1870 census shows no possible ones living with Hugh.
He secondly was married to SARAH GLASS, the daughter of William and Phebe, on 31 Oct, 1868 in Chelsea [MA vr v.210,p.183]. She was born ca Apr, 1845 in Ellsworth, ME, her death rec not yet recorded by me.
Though his residence is listed as Parsonsfield, there is no indication he lived there at any time. He probably enlisted from Portland, and was instead credited to this town. While the 1900 census give Hugh an 1860 immigration year, he may have been here by 1858 when his parents had a child born in Maine. Prior to this, about 1849-1852, the family was located in NewFoundland, and in New Brunswick before this. The 1851 census has Hugh, brother William and sister Margaret living with their grandparents, Andrew and Clarinda Currie. His father died in Charlestown, MA in 1868 at age 69, so it looks as if the family moved from Portland, ME (there in 1860 census) to the Boston, MA area soon after Hugh was mustered out of his service in the 27th Maine. Hugh Jr's occupation was a plasterer.
Hugh and his 2nd wife had the following children:
I. CLARA FRANCES was born 4 Dec, 1869 in Chelsea, MA [MA VR v216 p178]. She died prior to the 1920 census. She married on 26 Nov, 1890 [MA VR v408 p250] in Boston, Suffolk, MA to LOUIS NAUMANN, the son of Henry and Charlotta. He was born in West Roxbury (Boston) on 26 June, 1864 [1928 passenger list]. He was employed as a piano finisher [marr rec; 1900 census], and as a carpenter, building stairs [1910 census]. He died on 8 Jan, 1929 [1929 Quincy St Dir]. They had two children [1900-10 census data]:
1. Lester Louis (Elista in 1900), born 15 Nov, 1891 in Boston [WWI, WWII Draft Reg Cards]. In 1929, he was living in Quincy, MA with wife Thelma M [St Dir], and by 1942, was in Wollaston, Norfolk, MA, working at the Charlestown shipyard.
2. unknown child, 1900-10 censuses show Clara had 2 children, only 1 living, I haven't the other child yet
ii. IDA M, born May, 1874 in MA. Living with parents in 1900, age 26.
iii. ALBERT HENRY, born 17 Sept, 1875 in Boston, MA [MA vr v.270,p.197], married on 30 June, 1908 in Malden,MA [v.578,p.518] to FLORENCE M BADGER, born ca 1883 in Bangor, ME to Charles E and Mary E (Greenyer) Badger. He was a shipper at a wholesale store, and was living in Malden,MA during the 1910 census. He afterwards was in Winthrop,MA (1920) and Quincy,MA ('30), a shipper of paint and oil supplies. They had only one child in censuses:
1. Donald Albert, age 5/12 in 1910 (a.10 in 1920 and 20 in 1930, living with parents)
As the 1900 census gives wife Sarah 5 children, 3 of them still living, there are still two more that need to be found in Mass records (providing the census #'s are correct). Ross is a fairly common name, so this may take some time to do.
