There were two brothers and two sisters, Lincoln Gross, Charles Gross, Lillian Gross, and Clara Gross. I believe they were orphaned by 1874. My uncomfirmed information is that Charles died in Tittusville, Crawford Co., unknown when. There parents names were supposably Sidney Gross and Millicent Lynn who originated from the Maryland, northern Virginia area. I have done extensive research and have not found any record in those areas.
