This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Cross, Hanson, Huff, Radford Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JU.2ADI/616.1.1 Message Board Post: Was this Richard Cross a brother to John Cross, Featherstone Cross and Drury Cross of Perry Co.? Was Tennessee Cross, who married J. M. Ross, their sister? I descend from John Cross and his wife whom, I assume, died young. John Cross died before October 1838. His children were shown as orphans in his estate settlement. . Thomas Oakes became the guardian of all the children in October 1838. John L. Tippett became the guardian for William Hunter Cross, the oldest chld, in March 1841. Thomas Oakes was the guardian of Nancy Leona Cross until her marriage to Benjamin Huff and to James Franklin Cross until he reached adulthood. Thomas Oakes became the guardian of Martha Cross in October 1838. Drury Cross became her guardian in April 1841. Nancy Leona Cross Huff was my great, great, great grandmother. I'd appreciate any information on any of the Cross siblings. I'll be happy to share what I have. Thank you, Louise Birchfield
