General Notes: Husband - James S. Ross

He came to Erie County, PA, in 1838. With his first wife he had a family of six children, five were still living in 1884.
He was always engaged in farming; was a self-made man, and accumulated his property by industry and economy. He was Captain in the militia in an early day, and served as Collector one term. He received a sun-stroke in June, 1873, from the effects of which he never recovered entirely. In politics he was a Republican.
