Francis Cross
(1737-1806)

Francis Cross was the third child of John Cross and the final child with his first wife Thomazin Chamberlain of Littleport, Cambridgeshire, England.

The couple's growing family came to an abrupt end in 1773, when Sarah died just six months after the birth of their sixth child, Thomasin, who also appears to have died soon after.

Francis went on to re-marry Frances Barrett and had a further six children before he died in 1806.
