Safrona C. (Froney) Cross was an heir of my fourth great grandfather William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy. The exact relationship is not clear. Froney was an heir of Mary (Polly) Cross, and Mary (Polly) Cross was a legatee of the real estate of William Cross after William died. The most likely scenario seems to be that Froney was the daughter of Mary, that Mary was the daughter-in-law of William, and that Mary was widowed at the time of William's death. But a number of other scenarios are quite possible with the evidence which is now available. For example, Mary might have been William's daughter, Mary might not have married, and Froney might have been Mary's daughter born out of wedlock. Froney was from Anderson County, Tennessee. She and her husband William Scarbrough were married in Roane County in 1877 and were enumerated in the 1880 census in Roane County. They moved to Rhea County sometime between the 1880 census and the 1900 census. William Scarbrough was the son of Allen Albert Scarbrough and Mary Ervin. It is believed that Allen Albert Scarbrough was not of the Bucks County, Pennsylvania line of Scarbroughs. |
