James Reuben (Couger) Dennis age 30 and Sarah Leona (Ona) Cross age 25 were both descended from Abraham Cross Sr. and Elizabeth Ensor.  Abraham was the brother of my fourth great grandfather William Cross who served as a drummer boy during the Revolutionary War.  James was the Abraham's second great grandson, and Ona was Abraham's third great granddaughter.  So James and Ona were second cousins once removed with respect to each other.

Floyd Jason Dennis was born in 17 Sep 1940, after the census enumeration.
