Sandee, WESTCHESTER PATRIARCHS by Norman Davis, p 63 "A Genealogical Dictionary of Westchester County, NY, Families Prior to 1755" The most recent Crosses mentioned include John Cross, b 16 Jan 1707/08, son of Nathaniel Cross and his second wife, Hannah Knapp. John might be Deborah's father. Nathaniel resided in Bedford in 1681 but then returned to Stamford in 1782. I have always been told to check Stamford area for any Westchester people. These are just hints, not answers. Have you googled Elgin Benson? Peter must be on the 1790 census. Are there any Crosses around? I have forgotten now whether you know Peter's father. There are Thomas HANFORDs in the same book. Elizabeth <Elizabeth...these are Peter and Deborah Cross Harford's children: Elizabeth b. 10 Sept 1779 Clara b. 23 Sept 1781 Bertha b. 26 Oct 1783 d. 05 Nov 1783 Thomas b. 20 Apr 1785 Elgin Benson b.19 June 1787 (this name was hard to read on family bible page) John Cross b. 17, Jan 1790 d. 31 Dec 1882 this is my 3x gr grandfather he married Azubah Wood Peter went on the have 7 more children by wife #2 Eunice Ballard. These names were taken from a bible page used to obtain Peter's pension for Rev. War. Thank you for your interest. Maybe Knowlton's connected? Peter's brother was Ephraim Harford of Boutonville area.
