Posted on: Fairfield Co. Ct Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ct/Fairfield/3277 Surname: CROSS, Holly, Hoyt, Knapp, Webb, Weed ------------------------- My ancestors resided in Stamford, Fairfield CT and eventually moved through NY and one Zebulon Cross comes north to Canada. John Cross 1707-1733 son of Nathaniel Cross, grandson of William Cross died at age 26. Lately in filling in info on other lines related to my family, ie Holly, Hoyt, Weed, Webb etc I've discovered what appears to be an inordinately large number of people died in and around 1732/1733 in Fairfield. Could there have been an epidemic that anyone knows of or am I reading too much into the coincidence of dates?
