From "The Abolitionist" by George W. Schiller. Chapter 13:
The Barrett Genealogy

Alexander Ross married Katherine Chambers, a sister of Lydia Chambers, and he became a brother-in-law of Arthur [Barrett].

In 1733, he was granted 100,000 acres of land from the Governor of Virginia on a stream called Opecan.
