George Ross

Who was George Ross?

George Ross was a Pennsylvania politician of the late 18th century. He was elected Vice-President of Pennsylvania on 5 November 1788. He was reelected unanimously on 11 November 1789 and served until 21 December 1790. He was the last man to hold that office, as the Vice-Presidency was dissolved by the 1790 State Constitution. As Vice-President of Pennsylvania Ross served as an ex officio member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. Although the length of his term is comparable to—or exceeds—that of several other Presidents and Vice-Presidents of Pennsylvania very little is known about Ross beyond the dates of his service.
