Hi Michelle, Sounds like we have some similarities here, but nothing really to "bank" on! Do you know if your John Edward Ross b: July 13, 1882 in Laager, Grundy, Tennessee, has siblings? Do you have any pictures of him? Is there any more information you could give me on him? My husband's grandfather, William Ross, is supposedly from GA or TN, was a coal-miner, came from a sibiling group of about 13(?), was born about 1880, married in Morgan County, TN in 1900, and died prior to 1910 leaving a wife and two young sons. You can see a picture of him at http://focusontheword.com/gen/Photos/bill-julia-bike.asp Thanks . . .
