RESPONSE: I checked the Birth CD for ANY births to a Martha LEONARD having GROSS babies and could not locate anyone you have listed from the time period 1911 - for the next 40 years. So there is some type of problem here. Perhaps the children were born prior to 1911 or out of the area or the maiden name is different. Anyway, there is some type of problem. I did not just check Whitley Co. but the entire state of KY. There was a Jobie GROSS born in Clay Co. on 12-20-1915 to a Margaret ALLEN, Vol. 129, Cert 64099. Generally the given name, Jobie, is for a male. There is another Jobie GROSS listed on the 1920 Clay who is a male, age 4 yrs and living in the household of Samuel GROOSE and his wife, Sarah. ALLEN families are living all around. It may be that the death record you found is one of these two Jobie GROSSes but I really don't know. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA Message text written by INTERNET:KYKNOX-L@rootsweb.com >Does anyone know if the Jobie GROSS who is listed in the Kentucky Death Index is the Jobie Gross, daughter of William "Bill" and Martha LEONARD Gross? This Jobie was age 72 and died in Knox County on October 10, 1987. She is listed as living in Laurel County. My aunt Jobie Gross had two brothers, Robert "Bob" and Siler "Red". She had three sisters, Nancy "Nan", (my grandmother who married Stehen JONES); Scott (female) who married James HARP; and Alice who married Hays PEACE. My Gross family lived at Rockholds, Whitley Co., KY. Any help on this would be appreciated. Mary S. <
