James S. ROSS is said to have died 7 Sep 1839 at age 43. His wife is said to have predeceased him. His surviving minor children were Thomas, Elizabeth, Emma, and Anna. A William W. ROSS, of Peoria, IL, was appointed their guardian in 1846 (recorded with Peoria deed of sale of their grandfather Jacob ROSS' land by W.W. ROSS on the children's behalf). I seek death and burial information for James S. ROSS and Martha A. (Watson) Ross. I also seek information about the relationship between them an William W. ROSS. I welcome the above and any other information about this family. Bernice in VA
