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.
