I am trying to find any info on James and Mary Jane Collison Ross who married 1837 Delaware County, Indiana. I know NOTHING about them after their marriage. Does anyone claim any of the following families? Mary was born in Ohio about 1820-1822 time period, but came to Indiana as a young child. Finding a James and Mary is taking LOTS of Digging. Her mother was born in Pennsylvania and her father in Virginia. The first one is probably INCORRECT since they have been married only 13 years and there is a 15 year old son UNLESS James was married previously. I would suspect that there would be a son named John. Any and all help appreciated. Take care Marilyn 1850 census Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio line 33 James J.
