I was trying to figure out this lineage and decided to look at your message history. I found out why I couldn't find a death record for Ross, he went to Canada, right?
TX didn't officially begin keeping vital records until 1903 and even then some counties didn't get on board until later, so no birth record for Ross.
Are you sure about middle name for father of your Ross?
1900 census Coryell Co, TX:
Millsap[sic], J. R.[sic], h, b Dec 1861, 38, md 15 yrs, b TX rest is blank
" D[unclear], w, b Dec 1863, 35, md 15 yrs, 6 ch, 6 lvg, b TX, MO, AR
" [unclear], d, b Oct 1886, 13, b TX
" Albert, s, b Aug 1892, 8, b TX[looks like mistake here]
" Ross, s, b Nov 1892, 7, b TX
" Raymon[sic], s, b ug 1895, 4, b TX
" Leslie, s, b Apr 1898, 2, b TX

This DC shows his father as Reuben, not Fuller, but DCs often have errors. Looks like son Sam was informant.
1910 census Coryell Co, TX, looks like James has a second younger wife:
Millsap, James R., h, 47 M(2) 2 yrs, b TX, GA, GA
" (Ima ?), w, 27, M(1), 2 yrs, 1 ch, 1 lvg, b TX, TX, MS
" Ross, s, 17, b TX
" Raman, s, 14, b TX
" Leslie, s, 11, b TX
" Eula, d, 7, b TX [1st wife died after birth of this child]
" William, s, 1 4/12, b TX
I think this is the DC for the daughter on the 1900 census with unclear name. Both born Oct 1886. If so, this gives the first name of her mother:
