Classification: Query
Surnames: CROSS, THOMPSON, HIBBARD, HUNT, GEORGE, GRIMES
Priscilla Cross, 75 born MD, who was living with a son, John Cross in the 1850 Census of Warren Township, Belmont County, Ohio. In 1830, Priscilla Cross was listed as head of household in Warren, Township.
Was Priscilla the widow of Benjamin Cross who died in Belmont Co. Ohio between 1824 and 1827? Was Priscilla the mother of Leathy Cross, who married Robert D. Thompson in Belmont County in 1828, being the same Robert D. Thompson, Widower, who married Mrs. Sarah Hibbard, widow of Hiram Hibbard in Barnesville Ohio in 1873? Is there a Cemetery listing that might tell me where Priscilla Cross and her family are buried.

A daughter, Priscilla Cross was married to John Hunt, 1831 in Belmont Co. A daughter, Ann Cross married John George, son John married Louisa Heskett, all in Belmont County before 1850. Louisa Cross was still living in Barnesville in 1900 at age 85. There was also a son Benjamin Cross living in the household in 1850, listed as Idiotic.

Robert D. Thompson's family also lived in Warren Township.
his mother, Mary Thompson and a sister, Esther Thompson are listed as living in the household of Thomas M. Thompson. She was the widow of John Thompson. Apparently she died between 1850 and 1860 as in the 1860 census, Esther is living in the Thomas Thompson Household, there is no mention of Mary.

Robert Thompson, John and Ann George, Thomas M. Thompson & his second wife, Ann Maria Grimes are all buried in Nevada Township, Livingston County, Illinois. Sarah Hibbard went back to Barnesville after Robert Thompson died. Sarah was the mother of F.W. Hibbard who was involved with the Barnesville newspaper

Is there a probate Record on file in Belmont County for any of these folks? Can any one help me out on cemetery or other records. Thank you so much.

Any information on these family would be appreciated.
