  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      Richard Cross was born on the 21st of May 1701, eldest son of John Cross and his wife Jane ___.

      Family Life
      According to Burke1 Richard married Margaret ___ and had two sons and four daughters:

      1. Ann, b. 1730
      2. John, b. 1732
      3. William, date unknown

      5. Grace, b. 1738, who married Francis Bryans in 1772
      6. Frances, b. 1740

      There are records for daughter Margaret's marriage to William Harper on FamilySearch.

      Death
      Richard died on the 13th of July 1776; FamilySearch indicates that a Richard Cross of Dartan registered a will on the 15th of March 1774, which I believe must be the same person.
