{{citation}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)L. S. Ross' father was S. P. Ross, who immigrated to Texas in 1839. He will ever live in Texas history as the killer of "Big Foot," the Comanche chief. Following the death of this dreaded chief, was the sleepless and effective crusade against the rapacious and treacherous tribes of the Comanche and Kiowa Indians. He was the leader of the pioneers who destroyed their power to do evil, and who will ever be held in grateful memory by Texans.
Governor Ross was born at Benton's Post, Iowa, in the year 1838, and came to Texas with his father. His mind familiarized with his father's recitals of Indian warfare, and his heart was inspired to vigilance and action to that foe wherever occasion demanded, and well he did execute the inborn mandate, when mounting his war-steed, with sword and rifle in hand, he marshaled his command against the foe of his brave sire. This was an inherited antagonism.

Governor L. S. Ross, the citizen Soldier and Statesman, was born at Benton's Post, Iowa, in 1838. From his father's lineage Lawrence Sullivan inherited the strength, energy, and endurance of body and mind so characteristic of the Scot, and he has honored his ancestry as a noble chieftain in war and peace. His mother's ancestry was Germanic. American nobility of head, heart and physique is not derived from a narrow family line, but springs from the broad plain of the people. From the people even princes choose their best support for the respective thrones. We call them governors, presidents, but crown them not. They need no crown, their words and works proclaim the true nobility.
Captain S. P. Ross, the father, settled in Milam County, Texas in 1839, and made his home in Austin in 1846.
