[WHT comments: I wish in this whole thing they had referred to him, at least once, as Thomas Cross Christmas, instead of Thomas Cross; just leaves me with a little question. This does give you a pretty good date of birth, either October 1, 1689 or 90; depends on what she meant by "next." Anyway, I will show his name as Thomas Cross Christmas, but a few questions do exist.]
