This week’s challenge was to blog about ten—ten of anything. I had a couple of ideas—families who had ten children, the tenth person on the tenth page of my list of ancestors, etc. Family Tree Maker can generate a list of where people lived so I decided that I would blog about the tenth address on that list.
That turned out to be 206 Gennessee Street, Auburn, New York, the home of my great uncle and aunt, Charles Walton and and Anne (Hannah) Ross and their daughter, Gertrude, and son, Charles. Jr.
On January 6, 1895 Charles Ross and Anne Hannah were married in Butler, Missouri. They moved to Auburn, New York by 1900. According to the 1900 census, they had been joined by Anne’s brother, William D. Hannah, and her sisters, Cora and Marinda as well as Anne’s divorced sister, Gertrude Hannah Turner and her son, William Turner. Both Charles Ross and William D. Hannah were traveling shoe salesmen. By 1910, the Hannahs had moved to various places, but the Rosses remained in the same house. However, in 1920, the Rosses had purchased a house on South Street.  |
