He was born in 1826 in Maryland and died in the 1860s in the Myersville/Middletown area, north of Frederick. On 12/09/1854 in Frederick Co. he married Ann Maria Catherine Gardner, b. in MD in 1835. We are trying to find out who John William's parents were. Is there a possibility that the Charles Gross you are seeking is John William's grandfather? John William and Ann Maria Gross had four children, one of whom was named Charles Augustus Gross. (Sorry if you received duplicates of this message; I've had a problem posting it.)
