He must have died shortly after his move to Louisiana (1913). I recently found information to link him to Samuel Alexander Ross who married a Rebecca Trimble in 1850 in Jefferson County, MS. SA and R Ross are found in the household of Jno and Mary Silmon; in 1860, they are found in Walker County, Tx (next door to Eli Franklin Ross). Listed in the household are: Samuel A.-30, Rebecca-30, Mary E.-7, Franklin W., Robert A. and William. In 1870, I find Rebecca Ross listed as a widow in the Jefferson County, MS Census and her household is next door to a Michael Trimble. Listed in her household: Rebecca-42-widow, Mary, Franklin, Robert, William, and John I.-8. I believe the 8 year old John I. is John Isaac Ross that married Josephine Humphreys. Research leads me to believe that Isaac's brother, Robert ! married a Catherine Hodge. I find Franklin in Isaac and Josephine's household in the 1910 Census listed as single. He is also listed as single in the 1900 and 1920 Jefferson County, MS. I would appreciate any information on this family. John Isaac and Josephine's children were: John Samuel, Edward F., Eva, Thomas Print, Rebecca Mamie, William Brown, Robert States, and Joseph Hunter. Thanks in advance on any information that you can offer.

I have a scan of Isaac Ross's grave in Jefferson County. If you want me to email it to you, contact me at sbmoore@swbell.net Sue Moore
