was paid $40 from estate to take body to Essex, NY for burial. They also show
that his wife's name was Abbie and that he was a widower. If this is true he
must have married again, though there may have been some confusion with
daughter Abbey who may have lived with him and not married - she was still
living at home at age 36 in 1870 NY census.John Cross, Jr. was sometimes called Jonathan.
