In the case of Oscar Alexander Ballard do you have any dates associated with him? Most if not all the early Covington Ballards come from two Brothers my GGGGrandfather Dr Johnathon O Ballard and his Brother Benjamin Randall Ballard. As far as Pharoah Cross I dont see his name so far. I know ther was another Cross family that came to Covington that was seperate from the family I am familiar with who came from William and Nancy Cross around 1850 in Covington. Have you sent for the death certificate of the Cross women b1892 and died 1950 ? ( I dont have her name in front of me. I can suggest more ways to go after this, but wanted to se if you knew any more specifics first
