1785, Residence: Captain Owen Rubel's Militia District, Henry County, Virginia

In 1785 Robert Woods handled the taxation list of Capt. Owen Rubel's militia district in what is now southwestern Franklin County, an area that included the future Wade cabin. Woods gave far more detail than his peers in other militia districts and included, for example, materials of house construction. Only the wealthy Peter Saunders lived in a frame house; the other seventy-seven households resided in some form of log structure.
In Rubel's district, there were 460 residents, an average of six people per household. The largest was William Ferguson's. Fourteen people lived in a single logy structure, and the house hold had only on outbuilding, a chicken house. Daniel Ross also had a large household (thirteen persons), but he had prospered sufficiently to build a chicken house, barn, and dairy.

ROSS FAMILY FROM SCOTLAND

"Three Ross brothers are believed to have migrated from Ross Shire (Rosshire), Scotland to Virginia. Although there are discrepancies as to the names, they are believed to have been DANIEL, John and Peter. Daniel Ross settled in Louisa County, part of which later became Albemarle. While he was in Louisa County, he married ELIZABETH "Betty" GARTH, daughter of JOHN GARTH of Trinity Parish, Louisa County. Later he moved to Henry County, Virginia and settled on Smith River. The area of Henry County where Daniel settled later became Franklin County when it was formed in 1785. Exact dates of birth and death of Daniel are not available but it would appear…that he was born about 1740 or earlier. He was living in Franklin Co. as late as 1811 or 1815. He was not on the Census of 1820. He died in Cooper Co, MO. in 1822. There are a number of land transactions in which Daniel participated in Louisa, Franklin and Henry Counties of Virginia.
