I have little information, on a Martin Cross, he lived in Bethlehem, N.Y. a little ways away from Greene County... I am gussing ...he may have been born around 1929 or there about...

Sylvia Continuing the letter written by Margaret Carlow on Dec 19, 1995: When grandfather (Benjamin Scudder Maben) died, there was no longer any room in the Cross cemetery, so they buried him outside of it, near the children. I saw the grave myself. The family erected a large--5 feet high tombstone in the Maben family plot, in Lexington. I remember that we were asked to send money to help pay for it. So when I saw the tombstone with no body buried there, I was surprised. They said, "We did the best we could."

There have been so many postings lately that I have not read all of them I missed the CROSS item but the name rang a bell so decided to write. Does your CROSS family fit into our Maben line? l also would like to hear from any other Mabens out there or anyone with records that pertain to Maben family....... I descend from Benjamin Scudder Maben (b. 1856) son of William Charles Maben (1822-1885) and Catherine Wyckoff (1821-1900). I have a lot of family info but for this posting will give this. Some of what my grandmother wrote follows: The Maben's home in NY was Greene County. The first grave in Prattsville was a Maben. Catherine Wyckoff and William Charles Maben had several children. Among them were Mary Maben Moseman, George (who became a lawyer and died as a young man), Charles who taught school and farmed in Prattsville and Benjamin Scudder Maben. William Charles and Catherine Wyckoff also had a son William Charles born 1855 and died 1937 According to family info he married Minnie Alida Kurau (1862-1941) they had 8 children and two married CROSS family members These were Ethel Naomi Maben who married Herbert James CROSS and Maida Catherine Maben who married Merritt Emmett CROSS My grandmother, Mary Emma Maben Imeson Gano, was the daughter of Benjamin Scudder Maben and Emma Landphair. She had other brothers and sisters: Robert and Grace who died young as children Ben Maben who lived in CA and Ruth Carlow who lived in ID Ruth's daughter, Margaret, was a missionary. In a letter dated Dec 19, 1995 Margaret Carlow wrote about the CROSS family telling about her grandfather Benjamin Scudder Maben after his wife Emma died in Wyoming: Shortly after (his wife's death) that Grandfather went back to Lexington near Prattsville, NY. He went to church, Methodist, on a Sunday and the minister spoke on heaven. He had the stroke on Wednesday, following. He was staying with Maida (Maben) the mother of Emma CROSS Grinnell..... she also tells about the death of the young Robert and Grace from diptheria and the burial of them in the CROSS cemetery. when the grandfather died there was no more room in the CROSS family cemetery so they buried him right outside of it. does this mean anything to your CROSS family????? julie eden On Saturday, March 12, 2005, at 08:58 AM, Merri Cross wrote: > My husband's Cross family came from IL.

Hi Tom - still doesn't come close to the Dutch or Palatine family names. I wonder, though, whether your family was Welsh? All those yy's and such are similar to the Welsh spelling of names.

Thanks Jackie. Tom McHugh

Hello Sylvia: I agree that O'Brien sounds very Irish. That's the story that had been handed down though. Interestingly, Sylvia Magin replied that one of her aunts was an O'Brien and that the old pronunciation was actually o-BREE-on. This is exactly the pronunciation that I had been told about. I was also told that the spelling was something like Obryyn. I'm not sure whether the unusual pronunciation led to speculation that the root was actually a Dutch name or if there is basis for that claim. I do have 1790 census data for Thomas O'Brien in Resselaerville, Albany County and an account of him arriving in East Jewett about 1806 (Early Settlers of East Jewett by Horatio N. Beach, reprinted from Catskill Examiner, 17 August 1871). Both of those references are to Thomas O'Brien. Does Obryyn or Obyun make any more sense to you? Thanks, Tom McHugh PS: I agree with all of the 'fan-mail' that you've been getting. This is a fantastic group here and you seem to be the driving force. Thanks again.

The spelling below suggests old Wales (or Celtic) to me.

To the person trying to contact me. My Townsend connection is to Luther Townsend who married Mary Ferris of Ashland, Greene Co, NY. They came to Steuben County with the first few children and had many more born in the Town of Bath on top of the Bath Cameron Road hill. Most of the family is buried up there in the Unionville Cemetery and a few are buried in the Village of Bath Cemeteries. I don't think your branch is any of mine. Thanks for contacting me tho. Mary Ferris and her family are the line of most interest to me. Annette Campbell

My husband's Cross family came from IL. We found an old letter talking about relatives in Kentucky, but we can't go back further than the late 1800's without doing some serious searching, so I cannot tell you where they originated from, sorry. In regards to Bible records, I will dig up the Bible that has my Greene county ancestors and send that transcription to you, Sylvia, to post on the website. Also, Sylvia, do you have a section on the website for identification of photos? i have a lovely photo of twin girls that needs identification, and I also have some identified photos that I need to return to their families. The people in these photos are no relation to me. Does the website have a section like a "lost and found" for photos? Thanks so much, Sylvia. The Greene County website is the best I have found and this mailing list ROCKS! Merri
