| 1889 | Cross | W.A. | 16 | $65 | guardian of Marshall heirs | William Alexander (Alex) Cross, son of Alfred Carter Cross and Zipporah Peters. His sister Arvazine Cross married Mark Marshall. The Marshall heirs are apparently the issue of that union. However, I have not been able to determine the names of any of the Marshall children. | ||
| 1889 | Cross | Jeriah (colored) | 50 | $100 | (probably the name was Jemima) | |||
| 1889 | Cross | J.F. | 300 | $3500 | Probably John F. Cross, son of Alfred Carter Cross and Zipporah Peters. He was enumerated in the 1880 Anderson County census, and died in 1924 in Fentress County. I do not know exactly when he moved to Fentress County. Another possibility is James F. Cross, son of William Cross and Jane (Jennie) Black. He was married in 1875 in Knox County, but was buried in Anderson County in 1906. | |||
| 1889 | Cross | Sam Brice (colored) | 50 | $75 | ||||

| 1889 | Pyatt | J.L. | 312 | $1925 | J. L. Pyatt purchased the Cross land that was contested in the 1888 Anderson County law suit. | |||
| 1889 | Peters | John | 1 | John Henry Peters was my second great grandfather. He died in 1890, so the 1889 tax list is the last one on which he appeared. | ||||
| 1889 | Peters | W.D. | 1 | William Daily (Will) Peters was the son of my second great grandparents John Henry Peters and Hulda Asberine Cross. He was the brother of my great grandfather Alva Edward Peters. He was known to my grandfather as Uncle Will. He was born in 1866, so his poll tax began about 1887. |
