Born in Scotland Parish, Windham County, Connecticut, on November 18, 1751, of Jeremiah ROSS and Ann (PAINE) ROSS. She had brothers Perrin, Jeremiah, and William; and sisters Aleph, Ann, Sarah, Mary, Lucy, and Elizabeth.

Diana accompanied the family when they moved to Montville, New London County, Connecticut. Then early in 1774, they moved again, this time to the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania. She was a sister of Perrin and Jeremiah ROSS, who were both killed in the Battle of Wyoming. Diana and the remaining members of the family had fled the valley the night before the battle, and were able to escape the massacre which followed. They returned to their father's old home in Connecticut.

Along with the rest of her family, except her mother and sister Sarah, Diana returned to the Wyoming Valley in August 1778 under military escort of Captain Spaulding's Company. They settled in the Wilkes-Barre Fort.

Diana is recorded as having married John HAGERMAN (but it was probably correctly spelled, or changed from, HAGEMAN--a family of some prominence in the Wyoming Valley's pioneer days). She later married Rev. Noah WADHAMS, who is not otherwise identified in the sources consulted.

Diana died in October 1803.
