1847               In 1847, all of Dist. 1, Dist. 2, and Dist. 3 were missing from the tax book, as was part of Dist. 4.
1847 8 Leath Adison A.       1 son of Willis, and husband of Nancy Ann Cross, daughter of William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy
1847 8 Leath Willis 250  $500     1 father-in-law of Nancy Ann Cross, daughter of William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy.  Willis was also paying taxes on a $300 "money loan".  I wonder if he had loaned the money to Nancy Ann Cross against her interest in William Cross's land.  If so, that might explain how he came into possession of a part of William's land, rather than it having been an out and out buyout.

1849 8 Leath Willis 266  $630       father-in-law of Nancy Ann Cross, daughter of William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy.  I believe that is 266 acres in 1849 included his interest in the land of William Cross deceased.  Said interest would have been about 15 acres.

1860 8 Leath Willis interest in Cross land 15       father-in-law of Nancy Ann Cross, daughter of William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy.  Willis had apparently purchased Nancy Ann Cross's interest in the William Cross land after the death of Addison A. Leath.  Or perhaps he was just paying Nancy's taxes for her.
