My great grandfather John Wesley Gross was born 1857 in Michigan, they moved to Pennsylvania then back to Michigan to Missouri about 1900 then to Muskogee, Oklahoma. I think John (John Wesley's father) stayed in Pennsylvania. Others of the family moved to Michigan and then to Cass Co., Missouri. I spent about two years, putting my Gross info together. sorry I couldn't be more help.
