One descendant of [[Eli Ross (1805-1885)]] has tested and he is a match to [[Y-DNA R Haplogroup - Family 01]]. Family researchers have determine that he is probably the grandson of [[William Ross Sr. (-c1811)]] through [[Charles T. Ross (bef1791-aft1835)|Charles T. Ross]].<ref name="ydna-email">Jana Killebrew, "Re: Ross Surname Project Y-DNA results," email to Kelly Moores and others, July 8, 2026.</ref> More testing is needed to confirm this lineage.<br />
