PA-Roots Cross, William: A few months after marrying Sarah M. Lee he purchased the homestead near New Vernon, now owned and occupied by his son-in-law, Daniel L. Morris, and here he continued to reside until his death, November 22, 1879. Thus for almost half a century he resided in this community as one of its most prominent, enterprising and influential members, esteemed and honoured both in the private and more public walks of life. He was identified with the Whig and Republican parties successively, and while not taking an active part in political affairs was yet elected to various responsible offices in the county.
Mrs. Cross survived her husband several years, passing away June 9, 1887, in the seventy-seventh year of her age. Their children were Sarah Elizabeth, wife of Daniel L. Morris (of the preceding sketch), Samuel Lee, Mary Jane, who died in infancy, Mary Haines and Joseph. The elder son died in early life, leaving a widow, since deceased, and an only daughter. The latter, Elizabeth Cross, was married November 19, 1892, to Charles D. Kay, of Morristown. The younger son, Joseph Cross, graduated at Princeton College in 1865, and was admitted to the bar in 1868. He has since resided in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where he is prominent in legal circles and in public and church life.
