My Sydney's father's name was Daniel Gross. His mother was Permelia M. Jewett. His siblings that I am aware of are: George Augustus Gross born 10/10/1846 in Lowell, Mass Francis Gross born in 1849 and died in 1860 (both events took place in Bradford, VT) Harlan Abner Gross born 1/22/1856 in Bradford, VT and died in Clarion Co., PA Arthur Eugene Gross born 4/17/1858 in Bradford, VT John H. Gross born about 1852 in Bradford, VT Josephine M. Gross born 6/8/1866 in Warren Co., PA When I did research in Warren Co., PA, I came across another Gross family with similar names but have not been able to connet the families although I suspect a connection. The other Gross family had been in Warren Co., PA prior to my families arrival. Hope this is helpful. Sherry
