Another Standard Oil Tentacle in the Mueller Family Tree?

We have been searching for information on a particular relative of Bob Mueller but are not having much success.

Frederick William Moss is Robert Swan Mueller's Great Grandfather on his mother's side.

Several sources indicate Frederick William Moss was born in 1846 and died in 1905. Some of his other vitals are included below.

Birthdate: January 1846

Birthplace: Sheffield, Yorkshire, England

Death: February 13, 1905 (59) in Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY

Immediate Family: Son of Joshua Moss and Mary Moss / Husband of Grace Alice Moss / Father of Alice Bulkley Truesdale

Our interest in Frederick William Moss stems from the broader hypothesis that the Mueller Family Tree is filled with many "Eastern Elite" families, and in particular, those connected to Standard Oil and/or predecessor companies (petroleum companies that were acquired by Standard Oil over the years.)

Find A Grave has a Frederick William Moss listed on its pages. This one was born in 1882 and died in 1977. The very short bio says "Vice President at Standard Oil under John D. Rockefeller, Jr."

So, with that short line mentioning Standard Oil, we are looking for evidence the old Mr. Moss is related to the younger Mr. Moss.

Known Standard Oil Connections

The Mueller Family Tree can be definitively connected to Standard Oil via the family of Ann Cabell Standish (Robert Mueller the 3rd's wife.) The family of her Aunt through marriage, Eleanor Standish, nee McCargo, once owned the Pennsylvania Lubricating Company (the first grease manufacturing plant in the U.S.), before it was acquired by Standard Oil in 1929.

Ann Cabel's uncle, William Lloyd Standish the 3rd, was Co-Owner of National Barge Co. We are looking more closely at National Barge Co. to see if there are connections to Standard Oil.
