Research Notes

Father possibly Stephen Cross (abt.1849-) - however that profile has a problem; listed father John Barton Cross is born in 1858, so will not connect to him.

FS has different parents listed for Stephen Cross - father Barton Howerton Cross II (1824-1887) and his first wife Emily Black, than Find a Grave - John Cross 1819-1875 and John's first wife Anna Owen. Would tend to favor Find a Grave but this is an area with many cousin marriages. Also possible that there were two Stephen Crosses. Samuel's son Jesse married a descendant of Barton Howerton Cross II.
