Nerva was the 3rd child of five born to Charles Bassett and Ora Ellen (Reynolds)Ross.
The family is listed in the 1900 federal census living in Erving, Jewell Co., Kansas. The family moved to Coolidge, Hamilton Co., Kansas, before 1908, where Nerva's father farmed and was a building contractor.

The 1915 Kansas census lists Nerva living at home and teaching school.

She married Grover Cleveland Jones, the son of Dorothy J. (Ritson) and Samuel A. Jones, on November 15, 1916. They had two children, both born in Lamar, Colorado. Nerva and Grover owned and managed Green Mountain Dairy delivery service, Golden Arrow Motor Court, and a filling station in Lamar until the dust storms affected the health of their children. They were among the many people who immigrated to California to escape the blinding, blowing dirt.
Nerva Ross Jones lived to be 106 years old.
