I have found no Census in Stewart Co., TN listing a William Cross
afterward.
He would have been born probably abt 1800. Nancy Boyd was born 19 Jan
1801.
They were married 17 Jan 1827. The under five male could have been
John Bond/Boyd Cross.
The under five female could have been Kesiah Cross. If this is the
father of John Bond Cross, he may have been married before Nancy Boyd,
and most probably again after Nancy's death.

1870 Cumberland City, Stewart Co, TN
Census, Roll 1564, Book 1, pg 185A:
Fam 15-16:
Cross, John, 34, m, w, digging Iron Ore, b. TN;
Louisa (?), 17, f, w, keeping house, b. TN; (must have
been Lucy)
Emily, 60, f, w, b. NC;
Robert 3, m, w, b. TN;
Mary, 3/12, f, w, b. TN;
McBride, Delila, 50, f, w, b. TN. (Lucy's mother)
(Is this Emily William Cross, Jr's 2nd wife. She was born in NC, as
was Nancy Boyd. Nancy was born 1801. This Emily would have been born
1810. If the family lore is correct and Emily's name was Buchannan,
she may have been from the Buchannan's living in Edward Co., IL at the
same time and in the same neighborhood as Samuel Cross. (see notes
below)
(Same Census, Stewart Co., Dover P.O., page 303A)
Fam 117-117:
Cross, John, 78, m, w, b. NC;
Lucinda, 50, f, w, b. IL.
Is this John one of Samuel Cross, Jr's children? The age would be
correct. And, he would possibly have met her in Edwards Co., IL.
