<< Effingham Memoirs of Georgia REV. JAMES MADISON CROSS, Baptist minister, Guyton, Effingham Co., Ga., son of Sardis Eason and Delany (Hayslip) Cross, was born in Burke county, Ga., Sept. 9, 1834. >> Thanks, Dawn ... I knew his age didn't fit in with the known daughters of Alexander CROSS; he was considerably older. I recall reading something about Sardis and Delany, but now I don't remember where it was.

Carol, Will send more info later...I have a few questions, too. Gotta go to ball in Statesboro. It seems the Cross and Spence families tie in with the Green, McGar and Lamb families quite a bit. That was my interest when I was researching them a few years ago.
