Died 28 Apr 1833 67y 8m War 1812
Theodore Cross, b. Methuen, near Lawrence, Sunday, Aug. 25, 1765; d. near Antwerp, NY, April 28, 1833, and bur. at Antwerp; millwright and farmer; lived at Weare, N. H., where nine children were born, and three or four years at Goffstown, N. H., where Gorham was born.
In 1818 he went to Jefferson Co., in northern New York, and made in the wilderness a home for his family at Pogueland, town of Philadelphia, three miles south of Antwerp. To that home in 1820 he brought his family, except the eldest Children.
During the stage days this locality enjoyed some prominence, but when the railroad became the established means of travel it seemed to lose all its former importance. The same may also be said of the locality known as Pogeland, in the east part of the town, on the old plank road leading from Sterlingville to Antwerp. A post-office was established here in 1852, with Daniel Smith as postmaster. The office was soon abolished, then restored, but permanently discontinued in 1855. The last postmaster was Theodore Cross,
In 1790 he married, at Rowley, Susannah Jackman, b. March 27, 1769 ; d. Sept. 29, 1848, and bur. at Antwerp, N.Y., beside her husband and mother.

When fifteen years old he greatly desired to join the Revolutionary Army, but his mother objected, as she already had in that army several sons, step-sons and brothers. He joined the Bradford Congregational church in 1791. That he was a deeply religious man appears from a long letter written to his Wife from Jefferson Co. in Dec, 1818, about one-half of which is devoted to religion and theology.
See letter in Appendix K. Thirteen days he called quick time for a letter to reach northern New York from New Hampshire. He and his sons cleared the primitive forest, getting a little ready cash by burning the logs and making potash. He finally lost the farm, not being able to meet payments.
When fourteen years old she was at the funeral of her great-grandfather, Capt. Timothy Jackman.
The sermon which her son Gorham preached about her and her ancestors is in possession of the heirs of Capt. Judson N. Cross.
