      Hardesty's History of Jackson County
      Ravenswood District
      Isaac CROSS - son of Isaac and Mary (Buckley) Cross, was born April 11, 1842, in Jackson county, then part of Virginia. His first wife was Anna D.Gandee, born in Jackson county, near Ravenswood, September 13, 1844, a daughter of Levi T. and Cynthia Gandee. Her father is no longer living, and her mother still resides in Ravenswood. The Rev. James Buckley joined in wedlock Isaac Cross and Anna D.. Gandee, at the bride's residence in this county, February 5, 1862, and she died November 6, 1874, having been the mother of: Cynthia Ann, born July 4, 1863, died August 3, 1863; Mary Virginia, August 28, 1864, died November 4, 1878; George Washington, September 1, 1867; WIlliam Harrison, February 20, 1870; David Isaac, June 3, 1872- these three now living in Jackson county. In this county, December 19, 1875, Isaac Cross was united in marriage with Martha Halsey, who was born in Meigs county, Ohio, July 20, 1851, a daughter of Oleroy and Mary Ettie (Stewart) Halsey. Their daughter, Lola I., was born August 21, 1876, and died February 28, 1878. They have one little son, Marvin S., born April 20, 1879. John M. and Solomon H. Cross, brothers of Isaac, were soldiers of the civil war, the former in the Federal army, Company K, 11th Virginia Infantry, and the latter in the Confederate service, Company C, 19th Virginia Infantry. He was taken prisoner, sent to Camp Chase for three months, when his brother Isaac obtained his release by a petition signed by Union officers. After returning home, to avoid being again taken prisoner, this time by the Confederates, he entered the Union army, serving in the same company with his brother John. Isaac Cross is a farmer, and his land lies in Grant district, Jackson county, but his post office address is Lone Cedar, Wood county, West Virginia.
