Can someone help me solve the following: Charles GROSS was born in 1847 to Gottlob Gross and Elizabeth Kaufman Ross Co. Ohio. His father died about 1856 and Elizabeth married Fredrick Wallrodt 6 Jan 1858. Charles was listed on the 1860 census age 13. on 19 Mar. 1861 guardianship was given to Fredrick Wallrodt at Waverly Ohio along with his two younger sisters Elizabeth and Sophina. He appeared on the 1870 census age 22 no occupation listed with the Wallrodt's Fred & Elizabeth.. There is the possibility that he took the Wallrodt family name. Family legend says he was killed in the Civil War, we know that isn't true since he was alive in 1870. Another story says he died from War wounds about 1880 and was buried in an unmarked grave in Edwards Farm Cemetery in Franklin Twp. Ross Co. Ohio. I have searched the Ohio Civil War soldiers list using both Gross and Wallrodt names to no avail. There is an entry for a Charles gross from Ohio Age 28 wounded at Chickamouga Georgia in 1863. He may not have been truthful when he gave his age but it is doubtful that he could have convinced anyone he was 28 when he was not more than 15 or 16 when entering the war in 1862. Any help with what happened to G Uncle Charles will be appreciated. John W.
