Seeking any information you may have regarding the death of Burris Ross.
Over the past couple of years I've learned much about the Burris Ross
family of the mid-1850's in Orange and Crawford Counties, IN. In fact,
I now know about Burris' four children and two different wives. And
also, the information that he and his immediate family were counted
twice in the 1850 census. However, I'm still not able to pin down his
specific time/place of birth/death, nor information about his parents
and siblings. With a great deal of "certified data", there are mixed
reports of his place of birth. My "gut feel" is that he was born in
Kentucky, but I have no true substantiation of this fact. He died
between the years 1856 - 1860. Family lore has it that death was in
Orange, or possibly Crawford, County. Will be happy to share
information I've uncovered on this subject.
Please let me know if you have any "leads" for me. I'm located in
Ashland, OR.
Take care,
Michael T. Ross (great grandson of Burris Ross)
