      Identified as Eli Ross, white male, unmarried, age 24, son of Fuller & Nancy; died Aug 15 1883, cause of death "lungs." Informant: Mother. (Note: There is no other record of Fuller & Nancy Ross having a child named Eli. Rather, there is a son Levi D. Ross, who was age 5 in the 1860 Census, age 14 in the 1870 Census, and age 23 in the 1880 Census. This would appear to be the same person. However, the headstone for Levi D. Ross, near his parents graves at Oxford Baptist Cemetery, gives his death date as Aug 26 1885, age 27y 11m 18d, which calculates to a birth date of Sep 8 1857. No death record matching that name and date is found. Despite all the discrepancies, it does appear that Levi D. Ross and Eli Ross are the same person.)
