Daniel and Mollie were the parents of nine children: Jennie (Jane) Ross (Mrs. Joseph Coodey), Elizabeth (Eliza) Ross (who married another unrelated Scotsman named John Golden Ross), John Ross, who became the Principal Chief from 1828 to 1866, Susannah Ross (Mrs. Henry Nave), Lewis Ross, often the Treasurer of the Nation and father of the two Mrs. Murrells, Annie Ross (Mrs. William Nave), Andrew Ross, Margaret Ross (Mrs. Elijah Hicks), and Maria Ross (Mrs. Jonathan Mulkey). All nine of these siblings or their family members immigrated to the new Cherokee Nation between 1834 and 1839, some voluntarily, most under duress. There were no members of this family that remained in the old Nation or “hid out in the hills” as some researchers seem to believe.
The Joseph Coodey family and the family of Annie Nave (who died in 1826) immigrated in 1834. Andrew Ross, one of the signers of the Treaty of New Echota, immigrated around 1837. The remaining six families immigrated during forced removal 1838–39. Elijah Hicks led one of the thirteen detachments; Jonathan Mulkey assisted with another. The remaining four families (Eliza Ross, Chief John Ross, Susannah Nave, and Lewis Ross) came with the last detachment led by John Drew. During the 1838–39 removal, family members who died were Quatie Ross (Elizabeth Brown Henley), the first wife of Chief John Ross, and his youngest sister, Maria Mulkey. A son of Annie Nave (Louis) and a daughter of Jennie Coodey (Rosa) died en route during the 1834 removal.
