My 2nd Great Grandfather was Americus Vespecia Ross. He was born according to the 1900 Putnam County, Missouri census in October of 1855 in Iowa. Whether this is 100% accurate, I don't know. I do know that he was in Appanoose County, Iowa as his son was born there in 1883. And he was in Putnam County, Missouri. If anyone has Americus in their ancestors, please share information with me. I am willing to share all that I have. Thanks for any help in advance.
