> Once again, I thank everyone for the information on David Ross.
>
> Specifically, I am looking for the rather exact location
> of his plantation near Point of Fork.
>
> On the tax records posted by another list member, a David
> Ross is shown as having property in Fluvanna County
> (on the west side of the Rivanna, and west of the Point
> of Fork) and Goochland County (on the east side of the
> Rivanna, and to the east of Point of Fork).
>
> Either of these counties are possible, and I am hoping
> that someone from one of these locales may know of
> some local lore concerning the former location of
> David Ross's estate near the Point of Fork. His office
> was/is in the present-day town of Columbia, on the
> east side of the Rivanna at the point.
