Hello Suz,
These may be your folks. From the "History and Genealogy of the Hammond
Families in America 1000 - 1902 by Frederick S. Hammond":page 314
1674 Joel Bradley Cross, b. Highgate, VT., July 14, 1821; r. Highgate
Center, Vt., m. Aug. 26, 1849, Elizabeth Beardsley Dillon.
Children:
1915 1. Lizzie A.,(Cross) b. Oct. 7, 1852; m. Sept. 24, 1872 Barnard L.

1917 3. Fred W., (Cross) b. Aug. 3, 1857; m. Oct. 31, 1882, Jessie
Carman;
r. Moorefield, Neb.
There were no further entries on this family.
Joel Bradley Cross's parents were: Nathan Cross, b. Sept. 12, 1790, d.
Highgate, VT June 28, 1874, son of Thomas and Sarah Pemberton Cross of
Swanzey, NH. Joel's mother was Betsey Hammond, daughter of Benjamin
Hammond and Sarah Fiske, b. Swanzey, NH Feb. 17, 1796, d. Highgate, VT
May 24, 1872. They are buried in the Highgate Center Cemetery. There are
several Cross families buried at Highgate Center Cemetery from what I
recall.
Jessie Estelle Carman was born in Highgate, VT Sept. 30, 1860(Highgate vital
record). Her parents were Jacob Carman and Thankful Sunderlin as listed in
the records. Jacob was born Jan. 1, 1800 in Highgate and died in Highgate
Sept. 1870, son of Abraham Carman and Eva Heiser. Thankful, daughter of
Jesse Sunderlin and Susannah Richardson, was born July 31, 1818 in
Highgate, VT and died September 1879 in Highgate, VT. Jacob and Thankful
were married in Highgate, VT Feb. 21, 1833. Jacob first married Thankful's
sister Diana on Nov. 29, 1826. Diana died young and is buried in the Carman
Cem in Highgate.
These are also from Highgate records: Fred W. Cross b. June 3, 1857, father
G. B., mother Elizabeth;
Marriage: Sept. 25, 1872 Raymond S. Olds age 22, son of Lorenzo Olds and
Edeline Cross, and Lizzie A. Cross, age 19, daughter of J. B. and Elizabeth
Cross.
As you can see sometimes the names and/or dates do not agree. At least this
gives you a starting point.
