Sampson Cross was the son of John Cross and Rachel Sampson. John Cross was the son of Abraham Cross and Elizabeth Ensor. So Sampson Cross was the grandnephew of my fourth great grandfather William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy. John Cross and Rachel Sampson were married in Carter County, Tennessee, which is adjacent to Sullivan County. Sampson's first wife was Margaret Rigsby, and their son was James M. Cross. I can't explain the somewhat unusual ordering of the people in this census entry. Mary Rigsby was apparently Margaret's mother. I don't know Mary's maiden name. Richard Rigsy was apparently Margaret's brother. |

I believe this was David A. Cross, who I believe was the son of John Cross and Rachel Sampson. I really don't understand the rest of the census entry. If David A. Cross was the son of John Cross and Rachel Sampson, then he was the grandnephew of my fourth great grandfather William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy. |

Thomas Jones (Jones) Cross was the son of Elijah Cross and Catherine Cook. Because his name was listed in this census as Thomas C. Cross, I tend to doubt that his name was Thomas Jones Cross and that he was known as Jones Cross (but see the name of his son). |

So Jesse Powell Cross was the grandnephew of my fourth great grandfather William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy. George H. Cagle was probably Esther's father. Rachael was probably Jesse's niece, and was probably named for her grandmother Rachel Sampson. But I haven't worked out who Rachael's parents would have been. |

I think this William Cross was the son of George Cross and Elizabeth Lacy. The widow Elizabeth Lacy Cross was enumerated in Dist. 8 with two of her sons, but not with William. The connection to the Carrell (probably Carroll) family is not totally clear. But George Cross deceased was the brother of William Stringfield Cross who married Barbara Carroll. So perhaps these are some of Barbara's kin. For example, perhaps William R. Carroll was Barbara's brother. |

William Franklin (Billie) Cross was the son of John Cross and Rachel Sampson. John Cross was the son of Abraham Cross and Elizabeth Ensor. So Billie Cross was the grandnephew of my fourth great grandfather William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy. Lucinda Rigsby was the daughter of Jonathan Rigsby and Mary (Polly) Sanders. It seems extrememly likely that Billie Cross was 35 years old in 1860, rather than being 55 years old as suggested by this census entry. |
