Eileen,
I am having a problem with finding info my my John Cross. He was in the militia in the 1837 Rebellion and now I cannot find that record. Was yours married and was he of British origin? My was born in Ireland and married Sarah Deering. I have only one historical record for him and that is the 1861 Agricultural census that doesn't even show the wife's name. I know that he died before 1871 as Sarah is listed as a widow. She is buried in Wilson's cemetery in West Gwillimbury, Simcoe County ON. but his name is not on her stone.
It is a shot in the dark but wondered if this might be the same fellow.
