Jean Parks Thanks for your list of Cross names. Pleasant Cross could very well be an older brother of my Benjamin. He could have been born in SC and then the family moved to KY where my grandfather was born. Only time will tell and lots of census records searched. Please remember, I'm searching for Benjamin Cross and his wife Sarah (unknown) Cross both born ca 1806 in KY. Thanks again for your interest.
