  General Notes:

The 1850 Federal Census for Nansemond Co., Va. records Elisha T. Crop (11) living with his parents John (36) and Margaret A. (35) Crop [Cross]. His siblings include Mary Ann (15), William H. (9), Charles (6), Harriet E. (4), and John (6/12) Crop. Actually, the name looks to be written Crofs, the old style for double s, ie Cross.
The 1860 Federal Census for Nansemond Co., Va., Upper Parish, records what is most likely the family of Elijah T. Cross: John (45) and Margaret (44) Crofs [Cross] with children William (20), Harriet (13), Charles (16), and John (11). Elijah is not listed in the 1860 census records.
