Binkley, Marsha, e-mail to David A. Navorska, (Pub. location unknown, MB, iii Feb MMIX)

"David What I have for Daniel Gross in just Shelby County. However, I know the majority of the family were in Jackson Twn for many many years. Around Jackson Center even. So, being in Michigan and not down there at this time. I would assume that he would be found on Census Records for Jackson Twn., Shelby Co. As far as his place of death I have Big Lake , Skagit Co., Washington. Perhaps that is where one of their children lived since he lived 16 years longer than Mary Ann. She passed away in Fairhaven, Whatcom Co., Washington. And I have a Cemetery for Mary Ann only Bayview Cemetery. Bellingham, Whatcom Co., Washington. Have no idea if Daniel is buried next to her or not. As to their faith , from their travel and where they were headed after leaving Ohio, I would hazard a guess as to Mormon. Mormons went on the cart trail and lost members as did Daniel and Mary Ann lost a son. And the time frame would go along with Joseph Smith's murder and Brigham Young declaring himself leader of a large portion of the membership who followed him westward. Utah, Idaho and Washington are large Mormon states. ... As far as Amelia Matilda Gross I just have 1 child for she and George Brees. I have him buried in Union Cemetery, Sedro-Wooley, Skagit Co., Washington and Amelia I ASSUME is next to him. ..." <>
