Hilario's personal documentation provides conflicting indications of his place of birth, either in South Africa, Cuba or New York City. According to anecdotal family information, he was born in South Africa and was kidnapped and taken to America when he was a young boy. His parents are believed to have been Vincent Ross (of German decent) and Pauline Guerrero (of royal Castilian Spanish decent). Hilario was married to Frances Mikell, reportedly born in Lake City or White Springs, Florida. Their first daughter, Ines Guerrero Ross, was born in Savannah, Georgia in 1904. Four years later, daughter Frances was born in Brunswick, Georgia, followed by daughters Paulina (Tampa, 1912), Iris (Dade City, 1916) and Nora (Tampa, 1919). During their residence in Tampa, Hilario was employed as a cigar maker, a painter, a chemist and a fisherman. He died in 1926 as a result of injuries sustained while working on a boat.
