Osiyo Michael! You mentioning your kinfolk lived in El Reno really sparked my interest! Jesse Ross is on page 350 of Hampton's book, which dontcha know, is right smack middle of the Ross-McDonald-Shorey line! Jesse Ross, born 1884 probably at Saline District, Cherokee Nation, IT, now OK (according to Tyner 'Our People' pg 49) died 6 May 1884, probably at Saline District, buried at SIXKILLER CEMETARY, Locust Grove, Mays, OK. He is the son of Josephine PETIT, Dawes Roll 6529, and Henry Clay ROSS. Children of J. Petit and H. Ross: i. Margaret Jane Ross-Dawes Roll #6958 ii.Silas Cooie Ross iii. Joseph Miller Ross-Dawes Roll #6530 iv.(infant son) Ross v.Jesse Ross vi.(infant daughter) Ross vii.Felix Henry Ross-Dawes Roll #6531 viii.Mary Jane Ross ix. Daniel W. Ross All are buried at Sixkiller Cemetary except Felix, who is buried at Fairview Cemetary, Pryor, Mayes, OK and Margaret who is buried at Lindsay Cemetary, Boatman, Mayes, OK. I hope this is your Jesse Ross! If so, all I can say is: Howdy, Cuz! :) Blessings, J.
