- Marriage entry in record:
The following people were lawfully joined in marriage agreeable to the law and usages of the state of Connecticut by me Isaac Foote Esquire justice of the town of Stafford and County of Tolland to wit
…
Joseph Cross to Zerviah Warner
Married February 8th 1780
According to the pension file Zerviah indicated that she married against the consent of her parents & friends - it seems as if she was not living with him when he died, only because she doesn’t know the exact date of death and doesn’t say “they were living…” it was always “he was living…” Joseph was on a short leave because he had accompanied an officer to Warehouse Point in Connecticut and it was close to home, so they decided to tie the knot as their intentions has been posted for a while.
