The information attached is from the Murrell Home Genealogy and Oklahoma Historical Society:
Daniel Tanelli Ross and Mollie were the parents of the following nine children: Jennie (Jane) Ross (Mrs. Joseph Coodey), Elizabeth (Eliza) Ross (who married another unrelated Scotsman named John Golden Ross), John Ross, who became the Principal Chief from 1828 to 1866, Susannah Ross (Mrs. Henry Nave), Lewis Ross, often the Treasurer of the Nation and father of the two Mrs. Murrells, Annie Ross (Mrs. William Nave), Andrew Ross, Margaret Ross (Mrs. Elijah Hicks) and Maria Ross (Mrs. Jonathan Mulkey). All nine of these siblings or their family members immigrated to the new Cherokee Nation between 1834 and 1839, some voluntarily, most under duress. There were no members of this family that remained in the old Nation or "hid out in the hills" as some researchers seem to believe.
