    3. Hi, I am looking for information about my gr-gr-g-grandfather's parents & siblings. His name was John Ross born in 1827 married to Martha Griffin born in 1828 in Midway, Monroe Co., AL. I believe John was born in Monroe Co., Al, but I am not positive. Martha's parents were John Griffin III of NC & Elizabeth Brooks of GA. John & Martha were born in 1850 according to notes made in the 1850 Monroe CO. Census. John is listed in this census as living near Hugh & Sarah Ross (HN 631). They had a son named John also. He is listed as living in HN 634. John & Martha are listed as living in HN 635. I am not sure if my John is Hugh & Sarah's son. I do not think he is. John and Martha had the following children: --Sarah Isabella Ross born in 1853 in MOnroe Co. married to Pleasant Asa (Or Aza) Guthrie of GA in 1869. --Wesley Ross born in 1856 in Monroe CO. --John Ross born in 1858 (I believe his name is John Wesley) --Daniel Ross born in 1864. He died in 1900 in Skinnerton, COnecuh Co., AL. he married Ada. She was born in 1868. She died in 1943 in Skinnerton, COnecuh CO., Al. They are both buried in the Midway Baptist Church Cemetery. Martha is buried near Daniel & Ada there, also. There is not a grave there marked for John; however, there is two old graves very near to Martha, Daniel & Ada--one is unmarked & one is unreadable. --James W. Ross born in 1864 in MOnroe Co, AL. James & Daniel were twins. James died in 1946. He is buried in Old Town Cemetery north of Evergreen, COnecuh Co., AL. (He is my gr-gr-grandfather.) He married Hettie Grace Salter in 1855. She was born in 1862 & died in 1937. She is bureied in Old Town Cemetery also. Her parents were James William Salter & Mary Jane Grace Salter. If anyone can give me any information about this family, I would appreciate it. I would especially like info about John's parents & siblings. I would also like to find where he is buried. I would also like to know if he served in the Civil war. If anyone can help me with my research, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
