Thanks again, amondg. I have now found an online tree for a John Crossett, born 1795 in Ireland, died 1862 in Philadelphia, with wife Mary born 1891, died 1879 in Philadelphia. That fits with the Mary on the 1870 census, age 79.
The children on the online tree do not include sons John and James, but do have sons William John with wife Elizabeth Harbison and William Dec 30, 1889 in Philadelphia and Thomas who was born 1828 in Ireland and was living in Kensington Ward 6 in Philadelphia in 1850 with parents John and Mary. Maybe same family??
Thanks for update on Samuel Crossett

Oh yes, indeed, tree info must be doublechecked. You have possibly found son John who was on the 1870 census next door to James. But this John sounds like he was a policeman rather than a weaver.
My previous message should have said that William John died Dec 30, 1889 in Philadelphia. I missed the word "died".
Thanks for your help, amondg.

Once the weaving mills closed they would have to find other jobs, weaving was moved to Georgia after the civil war

This one is interesting but not proof of relationship

Public Ledger Tuesday October 14 1862.
CROSSETT, on the 12th instant Mr. John Crossett in his 67th year. The friends and relatives, also the Israelite Lodge #28 of the A.P.A. are respectfully invited, from his residence of 1327 Savery Street.
Funeral Wednesday 15th at 1 o clock, Proceed to Odd Fellows Cemetery.

When John and James enlisted 19 August 1862 they lived on Savery Street.

They could be sons or nephews until a definite relationship is found, however a good clue.
--------------

Other Cemeteries I have seen mentioned going through the obits are Mount Moriah, Greenwood, Holy Sepulchre, and Fernwood.
There is a William at Odd Fellows

If you have a subscription to Genealogy Bank there are many articles about engagements, deaths etc.
about the Crossett family.

Are you part of Crossett Shoes in 1910 they sold shoes for $3.50 a pair

Wow, you have found Nancy’s death,in 1870,  wife of James, as well as John, father of James in 1862. The address ties them all together. Also possibly James’s brother John in 1901. Now if Mary’s death is found in 1879, that might bring in William John and Thomas.
You are amazing. Thank you.

This death of son James also fits the family info. Obviously, I have to move father James on my tree from parents John and Annie to John and Mary, and look for Mary's surname.
Thanks again,
