Four of the sons of Francis ROSS (b. 1791, SC - d. 1870, MS) ended up in Leon County, TX. (1) John Boyd ROSS (b. 1819, SC - d. 1854, Leon Co. TX) His wife was Catherine JORDAN. Did she remarry after his death? There is a family in 1860 Neshoba Co. MS that seems to have ROSS stepchildren. The name is SHUMAKER, and there are 4 SHUMAKER children and 4 ROSS children. The wife's name is Catherine. I'm trying to figure out if these ROSS step-children are kin to my Neshoba Co. MS ROSSes. (2) Abram James ROSS (b. 1826, SC - d. 1870, Leon Co. TX) (3) Leonidas Dionces ROSS (b. 1841, MS - d. 1906, Leon Co. TX) (4) George Washington ROSS, (b. 1844, AL - d. 1891, Leon Co. TX) Maybe I'm reaching on these ROSS children, but I don't have the names of any of these Leon Co. TX ROSSes.
