Another sister Mary Jane "Dollie" Altum married William Nelson Farris a brother of Thomas Logan. Hope this info helps some. It is info that came from the Ross Family Website http://users.htcomp.net/ross/james.htm some years, ago. Thomas and Obedience seem to be the parents of Annie and Hattie Farris who you listed as buried at the Altum's Ranch Cemetery. I don't know who the other individuals are that you listed, however.
