Isaac Ross died of old age on September 1, 1902 at 80 years of age in Kawkawlin, Bay County, Michigan. It is unclear exactly when he was born as different documentations states different dates. We do that he was born in England, and his father is John Ross. Thought the family is a bit challenging to research as Ross is a very common name, Isaac lived his life as a farmer enjoying his wife Margaret and their 12 children first in Canada and later in Michigan. (3rd great-grandfather)
