| Female, Born | in Scotland Parish, Windham County, Connecticut on 12/17/1745 |
| Died | 2/8/1814 (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania) |
Born in Scotland Parish, Windham County, Connecticut, either December 17 or 22, 1745, of Jeremiah ROSS and Ann (PAINE) ROSS. She had brothers Perrin, Jeremiah, and William; and sisters Sarah, Ann, Diana, Mary, Lucy, and Elizabeth.
Aleph accompanied the family when they moved to Montville, New London County, Connecticut; then, in early 1774, they moved to the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania (see Perrin ROSS, Chart A, 410, for additional details). She was the sister of Perrin ROSS, and is recorded as having fled the Wyoming Massacre by going down the Susquehanna River to Harrisburg (then known as Harris Ferry), then through Reading, to the rendezvous at Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
The remaining members of the family, except her sister Sarah and her mother, returned to the Wyoming Valley in August 1778 under escort of Captain Spaulding's Company. They settled in the Wilkes-Barre Fort.
The wording used in the account of the family's flight from the massacre (which refers to her sister Sarah as Sarah SLOCUM, wife of Giles SLOCUM; and refers to Aleph simply as Aleph, sister of William, etc.) indicates she was not married on July 3, 1778, when she would have been 32 years old.
Aleph died at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, at the age of about seventy, on February 8, 1814.
