William Riley Andrew ROSS was born on 9 Feb 1891/92 in Reagan, Henderson Co. TN.1114,1127,1263,1389 The year on the cemetery marker (1892) differs from the year on the pension application (1891). The bible record says "William R. Ross was bornd feb. 9 1892 is 17 in 1909." Nancy's pension application, prepared 1 Feb. 1901, listed three children under 16: Steven W. Ross, born Jany 6th, 1886; Resia E. Ross, born Novr 26th 1887, and Wm R. Ross, born Feby 9th 1891. Dugall's application also said Feby 9/91. William's application for Social Security number gave hs date of birth as Feb. 9, 1892; there is a 2 written in a different direction between "Feb" and "9." Someone must have written in the number for the month. He appeared in the census in 1920 in Henderson Co. TN.34 William R., 27; Dovie, 25; Flossie M. 9, Truman 8; Jewel D. 6; Pearley T. 4-1/2; Orine 2-1/2 On 6 Jul 1938 he was Lumber Co. worker.1263 William worked at Stewart Lumber Company, Route 2, Lexington, Tennessee, when he applied for a Social Security number.

Parents: Dugal Washington ROSS and Nancy Jane JOHNSON.

Jemima ROSS???? appeared in the census in 1870 in Henderson Co. TN.1445 She died in 1886 in Dillingham Cemetery, Briggs, Burnet Co. TX.1372 Is this Jemima Ross? I think not, but some researchers believe otherwise. See notes under marriage.

Spouse: Jesse J. TAYLOR. Jesse J. TAYLOR and Jemima ROSS???? were married in 1837 in St. Clair Co. AL.259 I had originally believed that Jesse's wife, Jemima, was Dugal's sister Jemima. However, the 1881 administration of Dugald Ross (Sr) estate lists the heirs of Jemima Bennett, wife of John Bennett and they all still lived in North Carolina. This seems to exclude Jemima Taylor from being Jemima Ross.

Other Ross researchers have also believed Jemima Ross was the wife of Jesse Taylor. Mike Cobb, of Ft Worth, has been told this Jesse Taylor is the one who married Jemima "Ross" Lawley in St Clair AL in 1837. The Ross tie-in came from a descendant of Steven Taylor and Nancy Ross. If this were true, then Jesse and Jemima must have moved to NC for at least two years (when the older two boys were born) and then moved back to Alabama for the birth of the next 5 children. This does not seem likely and the Ross connection seems even less likely.

In Feb 1866 Term of Henderson County Court, Jemima, widow of J.J. Taylor has dower case versus children and their guardian ad litem? T.G. Maness. Jemima, widow of J.J. Taylor, claimed her dower, listed Stephen and Daniel Taylor as of age, and Sarah, Caroline, Caswell, Jackson, and George W. minors. Children listed in 1860 census were males: Stephen 22, L.B 20, W.J. 13, A.J. 9, G.W. 7. Females were Mary A., S.J., Penelope. Maybe Penelope was Penelope Caroline? Was Caswell the child named A.J. or maybe a later child? Note that Caswell is a name that was used in the Ross family.
Children were: Stephen TAYLOR, Daniel B. TAYLOR, Mary A. TAYLOR, Sarah J. TAYLOR, William J.C. TAYLOR, Andrew Jackson TAYLOR, Caroline (Penelope)? TAYLOR, John P. TAYLOR, George Washington TAYLOR.
