Chris Dunham replied to Kendal Merrill's discussion 'Looking For Parents of Noah W. Cross (c.1823-1874) of Gardiner Maine'

"The death record of his son Charles says that Noah was born in Vassalboro. There was large Cross family in that town, descending from Noah Cross and Lydia Cromwell. I would guess that Noah belonged to that family, though I can't tell you which…"

At 7:30am on October 27, 2019, Virginia Weddington said…: Thank you, Chris. At one time I had those parents listed for him but discarded that connection after contacting Jay for existing records they had. His biography just says birth in Maine, exact place unknown. I've researched him for years.

At 5:45am on March 12, 2018, Doris Holland Harrington said…: Thank you so much you have been a big help to me on this journey. I appreciate this and now looks like its going in an entirely different direction. I can not wait to see where this takes me. That just goes to prove that some things are not what they appear to be. I will post my findings thanks again

At 5:18am on March 11, 2018, Doris Holland Harrington said…: Wow that is very interesting. I was not sure if that was the same thomas. That would put his parents born in canada. And take this a whole new way from what I am seeing. How do you trace canadian roots and is there a way to chase them back to mass or new hampshire or even Maine for that matter. I am totally confused. I saw that one for thomas being born in 1899 but was not sure if it was him considering both his parents were born in canada. But I will go from there. thank you this helps a great deal.

At 12:37am on August 12, 2017, Rich Eastman said…: Exactly! Thought I'd found the only one but a trip around the cemetery revealed one more. There are no traditional GAR markers (star-shaped) in the cemetery. Checked for possible link with GAR Ladies Auxiliary but nothing. Thinking that this may be a local chapter medallion. Am half tempted to catalog location and take to the state archives. The one shown here was sticking in a hole in the base of a tipped over stone but the woman buried there was not the wife of a soldier. May have been placed there by mowing crew.

At 12:09am on August 12, 2017, Rich Eastman said…: Recently came across this GAR grave marker, one of only two in a very large cemetery. Can't seem to find anything similar to it online in an image search. The two cast iron markers are in front of the wive's gravestones of their Civil War Soldier husbands. Is this marker unique to Maine?

At 4:25pm on June 14, 2017, Stephen Harris said…: Chris - I just found the notes you left me about William Harris (posted way back in 2016!) Thanks for filling in some blanks.
