text:
Isaac Ross was an American Revolutionary War veteran and planter from South Carolina who developed Prospect Hill Plantation in Jefferson County, Mississippi, for cotton cultivation. He owned thousands of acres and nearly 160 slaves by 1820. In 1830 Ross was among the major donors and founders of Oakland College, a Presbyterian-affiliated school for young men near Rodney, Mississippi, which operated from 1830 to 1870. After it failed, its campus was sold to the state and used to start Alcorn Coll
