Charles Franklin (Frank) Cross age 26 was the son of Charles W. Cross and Mary Ellen (Mollie) Worthington, the grandson of John Cross and Mary Ann (Polly) Shinliver, and the great grandson of Brittain Cross and Mary (Polly) Parks. A great deal of conventional wisdom says that Brittain was the son of my fourth great grandfather William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy. However, I do not think the conventional wisdom is correct. I think that Brittain and William were more distantly related than that. For example, they perhaps were first cousins once removed. Corina Gertrude Irvin age 26 was the daughter of Henry Irvin and Nancy E. Nelson. Corina and Frank were married on 26 Nov 1905 in Anderson County, Tennessee. All the other records that I have found for Ervin Cross age 3 spell his first name as Irvin. He was surely named after his mother's surname. |
