Surnames: Ross Ulum Brady Henderson Moran Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ikB.2ACE/109.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Dear Vickie: I see you have Ross listed among your surnames. Were they in Montague, Upton, Pecos, Tom Green Counties, TX; or in the Chickasaw Nation, IT; or Greer County, TX/OK? Following is a query I left for K B Cook on the Montague Message Board and part of which I posted on the Mailing List today. Are the names Charles Ross b.c. 1868 or James N. Ross b.c. 1863 familiar to you? Details follow: Topic: What happened in Montague Family in Sept of 1878? Two of the Ulum family died that month, perhaps in Montague Co., Texas. I'm trying to determine whether they were in Montague then or still back in Missouri at that time. Elijah Ulum b. 1830 Greene Co., PA died 29 Jun 1878 Mary (Henderson) Ulum b. 1834 KY d. 1884 Their children: Orlena Jane Ulum b. 1856 MO d. 1868 Mary Esther Ulum b. 1858 Sullivan Co., MO d. 1938 Mercer Co., MO Melvina Henrietta Ulum b. 1859 Adair Co., MO John Alfor Ulum b. 1862 Adair Co., MO d. 14 Sep 1878 Emma Roena Ulum b. 1862 Adair Co., MO Violetta Ulum b. 1864 d. 1867 Nancy Y. Ulum b. 1865 William Marsellus Ulum b. 14 Feb 1867 Adair Co., MO Elijah Darius Ulum b. 1869 Adair Co., MO Salia S. Ulum b. 1 Apr 1871 MO ***Florence Ulum b. 1873 MO d. May 1940 Pecos Co., TX (m. Charles Ross) Theodocia Nevada Ulum b. 1875 MO Sterling Stephanos Ulum b. 1877 d. 16 Sep 1878 They were in Montague County for the 1880 Census. William Marsellus Ulum later went up into Greer Co., TX/OK and settled. ****Florence and her family lived for almost twenty years in McClain County, Chickasaw Nation, OK, but, later, returned to TX settling in Upton Co and Pecos Co. Her brother-in-law, James N. Ross married Selina (Moran) Brady, widow of Robert Brady, about 1905 in Pontotoc Co., Chickasaw Nation, IT. James was murdered by a man named Henry Burr or Burrows in Ada in 1913. Selina, then, took her family and went to live on the McClain farm that Charles Ross and Florence had farmed. Charles and Florence wandered around working here and there after James' death, finally landing in Upton Co., TX. Selina was daughter of Marmaduke Moran, a Choctaw Indian. Both she and her children were enrolled by the Dawes Commission. Any correspondence about this family will be much welcome. We've got the Ulum line back to the 1700's in PA but would like to fill out the MO/TX/OK adventures of this family as well as the Ross clan.
