Hi Don,
I am always looking for Cress relatives.Are you descended from either of these women?If so, please explain how.
Jacob C. Cress married Cynthia sometime before 1845
They had 10 children including:
Ellender Jane (ca 1861 - 1879) who mar. Wm Harlen Van Hook in 1874 in Rockcastle Co., KY
William Franklin Cress (1849-1928) who mar. Mary Jane ___ in 1869 in Rockcastle Co., KY.They had 7 children including Lula Catharine (1877 - after 1930) who married Charles Van Hook (the son of Wm's sister) in Rockcastle Co., KY in 1899.
Here is census info for the family of Jacob C. Cress:
