I need some help trying to nail down the marriage information of Thomas Langdon and Abigail Cross of Brighton.Murray Twp Ontario in approx 1830. They had 4 children: Mary Ellen m Richard Sykes in 1849; Daniel m Minerva Springstead in 1854; George m Margaret Ann Horning 1864; and James m Catherine Egan in 1864. Thomas dies in 1839 and Abigail marries second, John Wright in 1846, on their marriage registration there is no mention of parents names. 1852 census finds John, wife Abigail, her son from 1st marriage James Langdon and two daughters Sarah and Henrietta Wright, living in Brighton on 90 acres in a log home. the location is lot 4, conc 36E 1/2. By the 1871 census they have moved to Percy Twp Northumberland on 47 acres.
The lot 4, conc 36 property originally belonged to John's brothers, Joseph and James and upon John's marriage he moved to the same locale. My direct ancestor (gggrandafther) Elias Cross m Martha Jones in 1843, On the 1848 agricultural census he is living at Lot 4, conc 36 with his wife and family as well as his father and three siblings. On the 1851 census, Elias and family are living next door to Zebulon (his father) and three siblings: Asa, Holdy and Sarah), and next door to them is Abigail (Cross) and husband John Wright and family.
I strongly suspect that Abigail is the sister of my ancestor Elias, and the daughter of Zebulon. given their living side by side with the common surname connection of Cross. BUT, it's proving it!
I can find no record of Abigail's parents on any information I have located to date. She died in 1893 in Murray Township at age of 83. Her birth date of 1810 puts her right in line on my family lineage. Her 2nd husband John died in Murray Twp in 1894 at age 72. (Yes. he was 12 yrs her junior).
I have no proof of her family. At one point I hoped to find an obituary that might list her parents but to date none has been found. I am hoping someone can assist me in solving this brick wall issue on my family tree.
